    Journal: Nihon Rinsho; 2014 Mar; 72(3):493-8. PubMed ID: 24724410.
    Abstract:
    Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type (MALT lymphoma) is a B-cell tumor thought to originate from B-lymphocytes that are normally present in the marginal zone of lymphoid follicles of the lymphoid tissue. About 50% of MALT lymphoma occurs in gastrointestinal tract. The majority of patients present with localized disease and indolent clinical progression. In localized gastric MALT lymphoma with Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, HP eradication is recommended as first line therapy. In those without HP infection and localized non-gastric MALT lymphoma, involved field radiation therapy(IFRT) is recommended as first line therapy. Patients in advanced stage and salvage setting are managed according to the recommendations for advanced follicular lymphoma. The long-term survival rate of MALT lymphoma patients is 80-90%.
