Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects (good or bad) that sildenafil (Viagra)
has on patients with slow growing Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM). Sildenafil blocks the
function of several proteins necessary to the survival of certain types of cancer and
laboratory tests have shown that it can destroy WM cells.
