Patients with nodal MZL who progress within 24 months of initial systemic chemoimmunotherapy should be considered for targeted therapy. Approved targeted therapies for this subtype of MZL include Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors (such as ibrutinib and zanubrutinib), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors (such as idelalisib, duvelisib, copanlisib, and umbralisib), and lenalidomide in combination with rituximab. There are limited data regarding the use of autologous stem cell transplantation in nodal MZL; this treatment is not commonly used due to potential for considerable toxicity and the availability of targeted therapies.
