Overview
The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of splenic marginal zone lymphoma at diagnosis.
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]
- Splenectomy has been used alone as well as in combination with chemotherapy regime for the treatment but no difference of overall survival benefit was found between the two therapeutic modalities.[3]
- Splenectomy on the other hand is considered to be a better option than chemotherapy.[4]
