This is a prospective randomized study in previously untreated patients with Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia who were randomized to receive a combination of dexamethasone, rituximab and cyclophosphamide with or without bortezomib. We reported the long-term follow-up data which showed similar progression-free survival and overall survival, deeper responses though when bortezomib was added. We conclude that the dexamethasone, rituximab, cyclophosphamide combination is an active treatment for these patients...
