Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM), a rare low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), has a distinct clinical presentation and different treatment-related side effects compared with other NHL. Currently, a wide variety of therapeutic agents are available for the treatment of WM but there is no consensus on optimal treatment in first line and/or at relapse. The aim of this survey was to evaluate the current knowledge and perspectives of hematologists on diagnosis and treatment of WM. Also, we compare these results to a similar survey done before the publication of the first Dutch national guideline, in order to evaluate the impact of the implementation of a national guideline. A link to an online survey was sent out to all registered hematologists and hemato-oncologists in the Netherlands with the request to participate. The survey contained questions regarding the preferred diagnostic and treatment methods in patients with WM as well as treatment goals. We also compared physicians preferred treatment goals to those of patients (as studied in a recent nationwide patient questionnaire). Ninety-five responses (30% response rate) were obtained, out of which 82 (86%) surveys were complete. The respondents most commonly used dexamethasone-rituximab-cyclophosphamide as first-line treatment. For second-line treatment, bendamustine with rituximab and ibrutinib monotherapy were the most frequently applied. Compared with the initial survey, serum IgM M-protein was determined in all cases, MYD88 mutation analysis was currently widely implemented, prevention of an IgM “flare” was uniformly managed by the respondents and use of rituximab-cyclophosphamide-vincristine-prednisone was entirely abandoned. Physicians differed somewhat from patients with regard to most important treatment goals. The approach to diagnostic methods and treatment options in WM was more consistent with international guidelines and was more homogeneous after implementation of the national guideline. These data indicate an increase in knowledge on WM ...
