The incidence of this disease is increasing, making it necessary for clinicians to understand the clinical symptoms, workup, and treatment of these lymphomas. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

US findings paralleled endoscopy during follow-up under antiblastic treatment: both improvement and lack of change in the gastric lesions were reliably predicted by US. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Treatment of primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is still controversial. The treatment of localized disease was based on surgery alone, or followed by chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
The clinical course and prognosis of this disease are dependent on histopathological subtype and stage at the time of diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
There is now good evidence that infection with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is etiologically important. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Conclusion In this patient, pancreatitis was the initial presentation of primary gastric lymphoma, which has notbeen commonly reported and therefore should be considered in the etiological workup. [pancreas.imedpub.com]

Pathophysiology
Hence, the aim of this study was to search proteins and/or protein complexes specific to Helicobacter pylori strains associated with gastric MALT lymphoma, in order to detect specific virulence factors and to better understand the cancer pathophysiology [theses.fr]
