Abstract

The clinical and prognostic implications of nodal involvement (NI) in Waldenström macroglobulinaemia (WM) are largely unknown. In this study, we explored the impact of NI on clinical presentation and outcome in a population-based cohort of 469 patients with WM, consecutively diagnosed between 2000 and 2022. NI was detected in 34% of patients and was associated with symptomatic disease, adverse prognostic factors, an increased risk of transformation, and lymphoma-related death. Our findings indicate that NI is of prognostic significance in WM, suggesting a need for enhanced surveillance in these patients.
