Second Cancers in a Patient with Gastric MALT Lymphoma

Case Reports in Medicine
Lucy NavsariaMichael Wang

Abstract

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is an extranodal low-grade B-cell lymphoma, which is thought to arise from a background of chronic immune stimulation, bacterial, viral, or autoimmune stimuli. Treatment advances have increased the number of MALT lymphoma survivors, but there is still debate as to whether these patients are at a higher risk of developing second cancers. This is a case of a long-surviving (>20 years) patient with multiple diagnosed malignancies following MALT lymphoma. We describe how modern oncological treatment plans can provide patients with prolonged survival and increased quality of life despite increasing age and multiple malignancies.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
