There is no cure for WM. In general, patients go into partial or complete remission following initial treatments. However the disease is not cured and follow-up treatment may be necessary.
Many individuals with WM have no symptoms of the disease. This is known as asymptomatic macroglobulinemia. When symptoms of WM are present, they may vary greatly
There is no known prevention for WM
Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia is not considered hereditary, as most cases occur sporadically without a clear genetic link. However, some studies suggest a potential association with certain genetic predispositions, particularly in families with other lymphoproliferative disorders. While having a family history of related conditions may slightly increase risk, the majority of patients do not have a direct hereditary connection. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized information regarding risk factors.
