Thyroid Complications Negatively Affect Therapeutic Response and Survival in Waldenstrom Macroglobulinaemia/ Lymphoplasmacytoid Lymphoma

Introduction: Waldenström macroglobulinaemia/ Lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma (WM/LPL) is a rare lymphoproliferative neoplasm characterized by small B lymphocytes proliferation. Abnormalities of thyroid hormones are common in clinical courses. Yet, the role of thyroid complications has not been explored in WM/LPL. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of thyroid complications in WM/LPL.
