Overview
There is no established system for the classification of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. However, according to a devised criteria based upon patient's symptoms, it can be classified into symptomatic and asymptomatic Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia.
Classification
There is no established system for the classification of Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. However, according to a devised criteria based upon patient's symptoms, it can be classified into:[1]
- Symptomatic Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia.
- Asymptomatic/Smoldering Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (SWM).[2]
