Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for advanced Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia

Bone Marrow Transplantation volume 23, pages 747–749 (1999)Cite this article

Abstract

Waldenstrom’s disease is a lymphoproliferative disorder that is typically treated with plasmapheresis and/or alkylating agents. In young patients, other lymphoproliferative disorders have been treated with allogeneic transplantation. Two patients with aggressive Waldenstrom’s disease, who progressed in spite of multi-agent chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation, in one case, underwent allogeneic transplantation from their HLA-identical donors. Both remain alive with event-free survivals of more than 3, and more than 9 years, respectively. Allogeneic transplantation should be considered for young patients with Waldenstrom’s disease.
