Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM): A Comprehensive Resource on Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare and complex lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma characterized by the presence of an immunoglobulin M (IgM) monoclonal protein. This chronic and indolent disease can remain undiagnosed for years, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of its pathophysiology, epidemiology, and etiology.

Understanding the Role of Signaling Pathways in WM Development

The identification of clinical and genetic markers has driven the development of targeted therapeutic strategies, significantly improving overall survival. Research has shed light on the critical role of signaling pathways in WM development, enabling the creation of more effective treatment approaches.
