It is with
great pleasure that we welcome
you to Stockholm and the Fifth
International Workshop on
Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia
(IWWM5). The IWWM5 promises to
be a very exciting meeting, and
reflects the continued growth in
investigators working on the
genetic basis, pathogenesis, and
treatment of WM. Since the IWWM
began in 2000, the number of
participating investigators has
steadily grown, as have also the
number of WM related
publications including those
arising from the IWWM which have
been published in Blood,
Clinical Lymphoma Myeloma,
Haematologica, Journal of
Clinical Oncology and Seminars
in Oncology.
We are particularly
excited to host this workshop in
the native land of Dr. Jan
Waldenström, whose memorable
career was marked by the
recognition of several diseases,
including the eponymous
macroglobulinemia first
described by him sixty-five
years ago in Acta Medica
Scandinavica. As part of the
IWWM5, a special tribute in
honor of the life of Dr. Jan
Waldenström will be hosted in
the Nobel Hall of Stockholm City
Hall.
We hope the IWWM5
will enrich each attendees
understanding of Waldenström’s
Macroglobulinemia, and help
foster discoveries leading to
its cure.
