چکیده
A median 80 months follow-up with updated time to progression (TTP) and survival data is presented from a multicenter phase II trial using 2-Chlorodeoxyadenosine (2-CdA) in the treatment of extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue type (MALT lymphoma) [1]. With the exception of Helicobacter pylori (HP) eradication therapy in localized gastric disease no established guidelines for the management of MALT lymphoma patients exist. letters to the editor Annals of Oncology

Histological examination of a primary hepatic lymphoma usually reveals a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; there have been few reports of primary hepatic mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas. A 67-year-old man was being treated for a duodenal ulcer; while receiving therapy for the ulcer...

متن کاملA phase II study of lenalidomide in patients with extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma).
Mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma shares certain features with multiple myeloma. In view of this and the activity of lenalidomide in various B-cell lymphomas, we have initiated a phase II study of lenalidomide in patients with mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. Patients with histologically verified advanced stages of this lymphoma were included in the study. Treatment consiste...
متن کاملLow-Grade Extranodal Marginal Zone B Cell Lymphoma of Malt in the Kidney
Primary renal lymphomas are very rare since renal involvement by the disease is most often a manifestation of disseminated disease. We report an 88-year-old man with low-grade extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) (MALT lymphoma) arising in the kidney. After the workup, the patient was thought to have renal cell carcinoma and underwent partial neph...
