Semicolons

suggestion

"Waldenström macroglobulinaemia is classified as a subtype of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma with any level of an IgM paraprotein; these two conditions are not synonymous ¹⁰."

Line 3:145 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"mild-to-moderate splenomegaly (~15%; range 10-20%) ^13,14"

Line 23:50 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"musculoskeletal: osteopenia, marrow space widening, endosteal erosions, lytic bone lesions (-15%; range 8-24%) ¹³"

Line 25:111 · Use semicolons judiciously.

There Is

suggestion

"The pathogenesis is poorly understood but may resemble that of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Clonal proliferation of functionally impaired B-cells occurs, as well as infiltration of various tissues (predominantly bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes). There is an overproduction of IgM, leading to hyperviscosity syndrome and resultant impaired microcirculation."

Line 17:264 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"lymphadenopathy (~15%): in particular abdominal, pelvic, inguinal and axillary nodes ^13,14"

Line 24:64 · Use the Oxford comma in 'pelvic, inguinal and axillary'.

Inline EG

suggestion

"rituximab can be used for systemic treatment but is often used with other agents (e.g. cyclophosphamide/dexamathasone)"

Line 40:89 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.
