Simplified Risk Stratification Model for Patients With Waldenström Macroglobulinemia
Maybe it’s me, but I find these prognostic/risk stratification tools helpful especially when they are simple. This study shows that LDH, albumin, age of 66-75 all were strongly prognostic. This can be easily applied in the clinic to our patients when advising the risk of the disease and the need for potential therapy. Recall that there is a growing armamentarium of drugs in this disease, as well as clinical trials, within our practice.
