In the study, 75.6% of patients with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM) saw cancer decrease in size or disappear after treatment with Cellectar's therapy iopofosine.
Macroglobulinemia is the presence of increased levels of macroglobulins in the circulating blood.It is a plasma cell dyscrasia, resembling leukemia, with cells of lymphocytic, plasmacytic, or intermediate morphology, which secrete a monoclonal immunoglobulin M component.
A crystal of Bence Jones protein. Bence Jones protein is a monoclonal globulin protein or immunoglobulin light chain found in the urine, with a molecular weight of 22–24 kDa. [1]
This is a nonspecific indicator of the presence of disease. [1] Rouleaux formation on patient vaginal swab wet smear. Conditions that cause rouleaux formation include infections, multiple myeloma, Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, inflammatory and connective tissue disorders, and cancers.
