Treatment of Gastric MALT Lymphoma by Helicobacter pylori Eradication: A Study Controlled by Endoscopic Ultrasonography

Abstract: Eradication of H. pylori seems to be an effective therapy in patients with stage EI gastric MALT lymphoma, although long-term results are still uncertain. Endoscopic ultrasonography is useful for a more accurate staging of the disease. The clinical significance of detecting monoclonality by polymerase chain reaction remains to be determined.

“…11 In the literature, tumour regression after eradication of H pylori with a similar median follow up varied markedly from 41% to 100% (table 2). [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] In the present study, complete regression of histological lesions was obtained in 43% of cases and concerned all localised tumours in stages I E and II E1 , whatever their H pylori status.…”

“…The predictive role of EUS has only been studied in two series of 22 and 17 patients with MALT GL who were given anti-H pylori treatment. 10 24 Complete regression of MALT lymphoma was significant and mainly observed when the GL did not infiltrate deeper than the mucosa 10 or submucosa. 24 In our experience, only patients with tumour invasion restricted to the mucosa had a significant probability of regression (78% of our cases).…”

“…Os exames ecoendoscópico e anatomopatológicos devem ser associados no seguimento de pacientes com linfoma MALT tratados clinicamente (erradicação do Helicobacter pylori ou quimioradioterapia) para identificar pacientes refratários ao tratamento ou recidivas da doença (34,46) .…”
