The stomach is the most frequent site of extranodal lymphoma. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a low-grade, B-cell neoplasm strongly associated with Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. The presenting complaints of gastric MALT lymphoma are usually nonspecific. HP eradication is regarded as the first-line therapy in early stage disease. Management of patients who failed to achieve remission following HP eradication include chemotherapy, radiotherapy and in selected cases, surgery. The aim of the present study was to examine the clinical characteristics and treatment outcome of patients with gastric MALT lymphoma.
胃是结外淋巴瘤最常见的部位。黏膜相关淋巴组织(MALT)淋巴瘤是一种低度恶性、B 细胞肿瘤,与幽门螺杆菌(HP)感染密切相关。胃 MALT 淋巴瘤的首发症状通常无特异性。HP 根除被认为是早期疾病的一线治疗方法。HP 根除治疗失败患者的管理包括化疗、放疗以及在某些情况下手术。本研究旨在探讨胃 MALT 淋巴瘤患者的临床特征和治疗结果。
