[Prognostic factors of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the stomach--clinicopathologic study of 21 cases].
Clinical, X-ray and pathological materials of 21 cases of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of the stomach were reviewed. According to NHL classification--working formulation for clinical usage sponsored by NCI, USA, there were 13 (61.9%) intermediate grade, 6 (28.6%) high grade and 2 (9.5%) low grade malignant lymphomas. By X-ray manifestations, they were classified into 5 types: multinodular type (4 cases), infiltrative (4), ulcerative (3), giant rugal (1) and mixed (9). Clinically, 10 lesions were stage I, 4 stage II, 1 stage III and 4 stage IV, 2 unclassified. The median survivals were 101 months for stage I, 15 months for stage II and less than 6 months for stages III and IV. The 5 and 10 year survival rates were 70% and 40% in stage I patients. The prognosis is related to clinical stage, depth of the tumor infiltration and histology type but not related to the tumor size or X-ray manifestations.
