Gastric lymphoma constitutes around 5% of all gastric neoplasms but is the most prevalent site for extranodal lymphomas, comprising 30% to 40% of extranodal cases and 55% to 65% of gastrointestinal lymphomas. This category predominantly includes mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), with rare instances of mantle cell and follicular lymphomas. Notably, over 90% of gastric MALT lymphomas are associated with Helicobacter pylori infections, underscoring the importance of H pylori eradication in managing these lymphomas.Diagnostic evaluation for gastric lymphomas includes endoscopic biopsies, endoscopic ultrasounds, imaging techniques such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and positron emission tomography, as well as immunohistochemical testing. Treatment strategies involve antibiotic therapy for H pylori eradication, biotherapy or immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and, sometimes, radiation therapy. This activity reviews and enhances clinicians’ understanding of the epidemiology, diverse subtypes, evaluation, and treatment of gastric lymphoma, bolstering diagnostic proficiency with advanced imaging and biopsy techniques. This activity also provides clinicians with comprehensive insights into tailored treatment strategies, including H pylori eradication and diverse therapeutic modalities, aiming to improve clinical outcomes and patient care practices.
