Overview
Splenectomy was considered to be the 1st line treatment option for splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) but recent studies have shown that rituximab is equally effective if not better treatment option in terms of overall survival. Splenectomy is still performed but mainly in patients with splenomegaly without lymphadenopathy having low surgical risk or in those who are refractory to rituximab therapy.
Surgery
- Splenectomy has been performed for the treatment of splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) over the years with a good success rate and may be delayed until the patient become symptomatic or develop cytopenia.[1][2][3]
- Response to splenectomy is partial as lymphocytosis and bone marrow infiltration persists. but it still remains a useful option for treating splenic marginal zone lymphoma in symptomatic patients.[4][5][6]
- Splenectomy has been used alone as well as in combination with chemotherapy regime for the treatment and no difference of overall survival benefit was found between the two therapeutic modalities. But they are considered superior to the use of chemotherapy alone [7][8]
- There is perioperative risk associated with splenectomy
