Summary

This study tested a treatment plan using thalidomide, cyclophosphamide, and dexamethasone, followed by long-term thalidomide and prednisone, in 44 adults newly diagnosed with Waldenström macroglobulinemia, a rare blood cancer. The goal was to see how well the oral regimen controls the disease. Because patients need ongoing maintenance therapy, this approach aims to manage the condition rather than cure it.
