Brief Summary
Gastric low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALToma) is associated with Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, and around 70% of these tumors can be cured by HP eradication therapy (HPE). However, the role of antibiotics in the frontline treatment of extragastric MALToma remains unclear. In addition to anecdotal case reports showing histologic regression of extragastric MALTomas after antibiotics, our explorative study found that frontline HPE (clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and omeprazole) resulted in complete remission (CR) in this subgroup patients (2 salivary gland, 1 lung, 1 colon, and 4 ocular adnexal MALToma \[OAML\]). Interestingly, two patients with OAML who do not respond to Chlamydia psittaci (CP) eradication using doxycycline achieved CR after HPE. These findings suggest that bacterial infections, including HP, may be involved in the lymphomagenesis of these extragastric MALTomas. Our preliminary results also revealed that 5 (23.8%) of 21 HP-negative gastric MALToma patients achieved CR after HPE, indicating that antibiotics may also have ability to eradicate non-HP bacteria. Based on our preliminary findings and the indolent biologic behavior of MALToma, it is reasonable to use frontline HPE in the treatment of early-stage low-grade extragastric MALToma.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The complete and partial remission rate for antibiotics as 1st-line therapy for stage IE-IIE1 extragastric MALT lymphoma.

5 years
The assessment of the evidence of bacterial infection in all extragstric MALT lymphoma
5 years

Eligibility Criteria
Extragastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma
You may qualify if:
- The patients must have histologically confirmed low-grade mucosa-associated
- lymphoid tissue lymphoma of extragastric sites.
- Patients must have evaluable disease by physical examination, endoscopy (also include colonfibroscopy, and bronchoscopy) or computed tomography.
- Patients must receive examination of documented HP infection or not before treatment, which will be evaluated by the following tests: histology, rapid urease test (CLO-test), C-13 urease breath test and serology.
- Patients must have either stage IE or IIE-1 disease, according to an adaptation of the Ann Arbor staging system modified by Musshoff for primary extranodal lymphoma.
- Patients must have signed the informed consent and agree to provide achieved pathologic material for immunohistochemical staining of BCL10, NF-KB, BAFF, CagA, CagA-signaling molecules, for fluorescence in situ hybridization study for t(11;18)(q21;q21)/API2-MALT1 and t(14;18)(q32;q21)/IGH-MALT1 determination, and for PCR of Chlamydia psittaci and Borrelia burgdorferi.
- Patients must have signed the informed consent and agree to provide achieve blood samples for CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms evaluation and potential serum molecular studies, such as serum BAFF level
You may not qualify if:
- In the diagnosis of the disease over the past five years with a history of other cancers but non-melanoma skin cancer, breast and cervical carcinoma in situ carcinoma in situ (leafy or tubular) can still meet the conditions of admission to this case study
- Patients receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy of nodules outside the low-grade malignant lymphoma, but has not yet been cured, the excluded
- The second more, and not in the lymph nodes adjacent to the tumor (IIE-2 period or more), the excluded
- The state can not afford this clinical cardiopulmonary ㄧ inspection after the test series, the excluded
- suffering from primary gastric outside MALToma before and had received chemotherapy or radiation therapy in patients of.
