[Polychimiotherapy and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (author's transl)].
A 63-year-old man, with a Waldenström's disease discovered by cryoglobulinemia (ischemic lesions of fingers) was quickly aggravating (hyperviscosity syndrome) under treatment by chlorambucil in a dosage of 8 mg daily. We obtained a dramatic remission with combination of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, adriamycin and prednisone surrounding a total body irradiation. A new trial of polychimiotherapy (with lower dosage) for severe Waldenström's disease is actually on study.
