Overview
Medical therapy
The various treatment options for MALT lymphoma include:
Treatment of MALT lymphoma | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Early stage (localized) | Advanced stage | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Observation | Radiotherapy | Chemotherapy | Monoclonal antibodies | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Antibiotic therapy | Radiation therapy | Surgery | Chemotherapy | Monoclonal antibodies | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
If the disease is limited to the stomach (which is assessed with computed tomography), then 70-80% of patients will have a complete regression on treatment with antibiotic eradication of H. pylori. [1]
Radiotherapy
Others may be effectively controlled with the use of radiotherapy, or surgery. Both modalities may be curative in localized disease.
Chemotherapy
In contrast, if the disease has spread or has been refractory on antibiotics, chemotherapy may need to be considered.
