Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia

Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia is a rare type of blood cell cancer that mainly affects older adults. It is characterized by the overproduction of abnormal white blood cells in the bone marrow, leading to high levels of a specific protein called immunoglobulin M (IgM) in the blood. This condition is slow-growing and may not cause symptoms at first, but it can eventually lead to weakness, weight loss, and other health issues. Treatment options include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted drug therapy.
