    Abstract:
    Primary gastric lymphoma is a relatively uncommon disease and controversy still exists over its management. In order to assess prognostic factors of lymphomas, we carried out a retrospective study of 28 surgically treated gastric lymphoma patients. The overall survival rate for all the patients in the study was 33% at 10 years. On univariate analysis, lymph node metastasis and depth of tumor infiltration proved to be a significant prognostic factor while size and location of tumor, sex, and method of resection was not. From our results we believe that gastric lymphoma can be regarded as a localized disease in the early stages and a curative resection can be attained when aggressive surgery is possible.
