Quadruple therapy for gastric high-grade B-cell lymphoma

Proceedings
Ted George AchufusiNuri Ozden

Abstract

Most low-grade gastric lymphomas arising from the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) are directly related to Helicobacter pylori infection. Most cases of MALT lymphoma limited to the stomach can be cured with H. pylori eradication and remain in remission for years. In contrast, high-grade lymphomas of the stomach, although potentially related to H. pylori, do not usually respond to H. pylori eradication. Here, we present the case of a woman with high-grade diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who achieved complete remission following H. pylori eradication.
