INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS: Intestinal lymphomas differ significantly from their gastric counterpart, not only in pathology, but also with regard to clinical features, management and prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although the histological type did not correlate with survival, stage did and tumours extending beyond the local lymph nodes were associated with a significantly worse prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
BACKGROUND: The non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is the AIDS symbol of tumor, with high incidence and poor prognosis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment by a variety of modalities is far from satisfactory, and the prognosis is much poorer than that observed in patients with the "Western" form of intestinal lymphoma.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The etiology and pathogenesis of this disease are unknown, but several hypotheses are discussed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However the Odds Ratio was significantly high for the presence of etiological risk factor (OR 7.50) and perforation as presenting symptom (OR 6.67).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We propose the term "NK-cell enteropathy" for this syndrome of as yet unknown etiology.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
IPSID is an ideal model for the study of the etiology and pathogenesis of lymphoma in man.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Larger and further studies must be carried out on etiology, pathogenesis and management.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment Malignant lymphoma of the small bowel is treated with surgical resection, usually followed by chemotherapy to prevent perforation Radiation therapy may also be used Small Bowel Lymphoma-Aneurysmal Dilatation.[learningradiology.com]
To prevent that, you need to be on a gluten -free diet. Once gluten is out of the picture, your small intestine will start to heal. But because celiac disease is so hard to diagnose, people can have it for years.[webmd.com]
Whether resection of localized disease before initiation of chemotherapy prevents delayed complications of hemorrhage and perforation is not clear.[academic.oup.com]
