title: Refractory peptic ulceration following radiation therapy in primary gastric lymphoma: A report of two cases.
abstract: The optimal prognosis for primary gastric lymphoma (PGL) is observed in those patients exhibiting PGL with minimal infiltration and who are eligible for radical resection. The initial treatment strategy for high-grade PGL (stages I/II) is chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy, however, subsequent to chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy for PGL, there is a risk of gastric bleeding and perforation. The present study reports two cases of PGL with refractory peptic ulcers that were negative forHelicobacter pylorifollowing radiotherapy. Although the two patients received regular treatment for their ulcers and symptoms, the position and size of the ulcers remained unchanged for a number of years.
