What Is Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia?


Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia is a rare type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. This disease is characterized by the abnormal growth of B lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, which produce and release large amounts of an abnormal protein called macroglobulin. As a result, the blood becomes thick and sticky, leading to a variety of symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and bleeding. Despite being a rare form of cancer, Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia can be effectively treated and managed with early diagnosis and proper medical care.
