Overview
There is no standardized treatment of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) The optimal therapy depends on the clinical presentation. Asymptomatic patients may only be observed routinely without any treatment as it is an indolent tumor. Symptomatic patients may treated with either surgery, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, immunochemotherapy or antiviral drugs. Both surgery and immunotherapy are equally effective but recently immunotherapy is considered as a better treatment option as there is no risk of complications that are associated with surgery.
Medical Therapy
The optimal therapy for splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) depends on the clinical presentation. Treatment options for the condition are as under:
Watchful waiting
- It is a slow growing tumor so patients may not need treatment right away unless symptomatic. Asymptomatic patients may be observed every 3-6 months.[1]
Immunotherapy
- In the pre-rituximab era splenectomy was considered to be the treatment of choice for splenic marginal zone lymphoma and still is performed for its treatment but rituximab is reported to be more beneficial in old age patients with co-morbid conditions.[2]
- Rituximab was found to be equally effective when compared to splenectomy for the treatment of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) in terms of complete remission and overall survival of the patient with no complications of the surgical procedure.[3][4][5][6][7]
Chemotherapy
- chemotherapeutic drugs such as cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil have been used in the past for the treatment of splenic marginal zone lymphoma but the results were not favorable.[8].
- Purine analogues such as fludarabine, pentostatin, have also been used. They are superior to alkylating agents in terms of efficacy but not better than rituximab and in addition to that they have their side effects as well.[9]
Immunochemotherapy
- Several chemotherapy regimens have been used in combination with 'rituximab for the treatment of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) showing high response rates and prolonged duration of response than chemotherapy alone.[10][2]
- But addition of chemotherapy doesn't seem to improve the efficacy of rituximab.[7]
Antiviral therapy
- Patients with splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) and hepatitis C infection who do not require immediate cyto-reductive therapy should be treated with antiviral therapy as it results in tumor regression in majority of the cases.[11][12]
