title: [Treatment of primary low-grade gastric lymphomas with eradication of Helicobacter pylori].
abstract: There is evidence associating Helicobacter pylori (HP) with both mulosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) and MALT-lymphoma. Recently, three studies including 65 patients have shown that the eradication of HP can lead to regression in about 60-70% of primary low-grade gastric B-cell MALT-lymphomas. Prolonged follow-up will be necessary to see whether these remissions are lasting, and whether eradication of HP in combination with conventional therapy is more effective than either of these treatments alone. Until then we recommend that HP is eradicated in these lymphomas before referral to standard treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy.
