胃黏膜相關淋巴組織淋巴瘤(mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, MALT lymphoma)為淋巴結外邊緣區淋巴瘤(Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma)是一種惰性(indolent)B細胞淋巴瘤,也是常見的原發性胃淋巴瘤,大多與幽門桿菌(Helicobacter pylori, H. pylori)感染有關,不論分期皆會以根除治療(eradication therapy)做為第一線治療方式,若幽門桿菌陰性或根除治療後反應不佳,則建議應進行放射治療,對於早期胃MALT淋巴瘤病人治療效果良好,或依據疾病特性可採取「觀察及等待」策略持續評估,晚期病人能透過化學免疫治療對於疾病控制及存活率有所改善,手術不再是必要的選擇,並且建議後續接受常規內視鏡監測。
Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a type of indolent B-cell lymphoma and the most common primary gastric lymphoma, mostly related to Helicobacter pylori infection. Eradication therapy is the first-line treatment for gastric MALT lymphoma at all stages. Radiotherapy is recommended for H. pylori-negative gastric MALT lymphoma or poor responder of eradication therapy. A watch-and-wait approach with continuous assessment may be adopted per disease characteristics for early-stage gastric MALT lymphoma patients with good treatment responses. For late-stage patients, chemoimmuno-therapy may improve disease control and survival. Surgery is no longer mandatory, and routine endoscopic surveillance is highly recommended.
