Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare, indolent B-cell lymphoma that predominantly affects older adults. In recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding its pathogenesis, identifying relevant biomarkers, and developing novel therapeutic approaches to complement traditional chemoimmunotherapy-collectively reshaping the management landscape of WM. In this article, we provide comprehensive, evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis, molecular evaluation, and treatment of WM, including strategies for both frontline and relapsed disease. These guidelines are informed by the latest clinical research, expert consensus, and current practice standards, with the goal of equipping clinicians with a practical and effective framework for delivering optimal care to patients with WM.
