Résumé

Waldenström's macroglobulinemia is a rare B-cell lymphoma. The gold standard treatment for Waldenström's macroglobulinemia is an anti-CD20 antibody (rituximab) in combination with alkylating agents and dexamethasone. Treatment targeting the B-cell receptor such as ibrutinib (but not idelalisib) is currently approved for treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory Waldenström's macroglobulinemia.
