Additional treatment options

Monoclonal Antibody Therapy

If analysis reveals B-cell proliferative disorders affecting marginal or mantle zones, targeted monoclonal antibodies may be indicated to address the underlying pathological process.

medication

Diagnostic Lymphadenectomy

Surgical removal of lymph node for comprehensive histopathological and molecular analysis when less invasive methods are inconclusive and clinical suspicion for malignancy remains.
