Overview
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Stem cell transplant is usually reserved for patients with either relapse or refractory lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. In very rare cases, laparotomy or laparoscopy might be required.
Surgery
- Stem cell transplant is usually reserved for patients when either lymphoma comes back (recurs/relapses) after treatment or doesn’t respond to other treatments (called refractory disease).[1]
- Many people with lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma are older or may not be in good health, so a stem cell transplant may not be a good treatment option for them.
- In very rare cases, laparotomy or laparoscopy might be required.
