Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to explore the clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer and precancerous conditions in patients with primary gastric lymphoma. METHODS We analyzed 474 cases of primary gastric lymphoma, mainly DLBCL and MALT, from three clinical centres retrospectively, and compared the clinicopathological parameters of primary gastric lymphoma patients complicated with gastric cancer, precancerous conditions, or with no complications. RESULTS A total of 5.1% of the patients with primary gastric lymphoma were diagnosed with gastric cancer, including metachronous gastric adenocarcinoma (3.2%) and synchronous gastric adenocarcinoma (1.9%). Of the patients with gastric lymphoma, 14.6% had precancerous conditions including atrophy (14.6%), intestinal metaplasia (8.9%), and low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (1.9%). Primary gastric lymphoma patients with an ulcerative type (p = 0.009) and Lugano classification stage IIE + IV (p < 0.001) lymphoma had a higher risk of complicating with gastric cancers or precancerous conditions. The rate of infection of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) was 68.4% in patients with primary gastric lymphoma, which was higher in patients with MALT lymphoma (p < 0.001), Lugano classification stage I + II (p < 0.001), and patients complicated with precancerous conditions and gastric cancer (p < 0.001), especially gastric cancer of the intestinal type (p = 0.04). Gastric cancer (95.8%) and precancerous conditions (91.3%) occurred mostly in Hp-infected primary gastric lymphoma patients, with a minor subset of Hp-eradicated patients. Primary gastric lymphoma patients had a higher detection rate of early gastric cancer (25.0%) and a five-year survival rate (40.0%) than the general Chinese population. CONCLUSIONS Patients with primary gastric lymphoma have a high risk of developing gastric cancer and precancerous conditions, and this risk may be related to Helicobacter pylori infection. Follow-up of primary gastric lymphoma provides an opportunity for the detection of early gastric cancer.Key messages5.1% of the patients with primary gastric lymphoma were diagnosed with gastric cancer.14.6% of the patients with gastric lymphoma had premalignant lesions including atrophy (14.6%), intestinal metaplasia (8.9%), and low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (1.9%).Primary gastric lymphoma patients complicating with gastric cancer had a higher infection rate of Helicobacter pylori (100.0%), a detection rate of early gastric cancer (25.0%) and a five-year survival rate (40.0%) than the general Chinese population.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3811. [PMID: 37568627 PMCID: PMC10417821 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15153811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 07/26/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas (GML) are non-Hodgkin lymphomas arising from the marginal zone of the lymphoid tissue of the stomach. They are usually induced by chronic infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori); however, H. pylori-negative GML is of increasing incidence. The diagnosis of GML is based on histological examination of gastric biopsies, but the role of upper endoscopy is crucial since it is the first step in the diagnostic process and, with currently available novel endoscopic techniques, may even allow an in vivo diagnosis of GML per se. The treatment of GML, which is usually localized, always includes the eradication of H. pylori, which should be performed even in H. pylori-negative GML. In the case of GML persistence after eradication of the bacteria, low-dose radiotherapy may be proposed, while systemic treatments (immunochemotherapy) should be reserved for very rare disseminated cases. In GML patients, at diagnosis but even after complete remission, special attention must be paid to an increased risk of gastric adenocarcinoma, especially in the presence of associated gastric precancerous lesions (gastric atrophy and gastric intestinal metaplasia), which requires adequate endoscopic surveillance of these patients.

Abstract
We present a rare case that showed the coexistence of gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in Helicobacter pylori-naive stomach. A 72-year-old man was followed up after surgery for epithelial carcinoma of the glottis at the Department of Otolaryngology. He underwent an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for an abnormal PET-CT accumulation, which revealed gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic gland type in the gastric fundus and MALT lymphoma in the upper gastric body. Hence, we performed an endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric cancer and diagnosed gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic gland type derived from a hamartomatous-inverted polyp. Subsequently, Gastric MALT lymphoma was treated with radiation therapy because the API2-MALT1 gene was positive and the Helicobacter pylori infection was negative. A complete response was observed. Even in Hp-naive stomachs, cases such as the present case are complicated by special types of gastric cancer and MALT lymphoma, and endoscopic examination should be performed with these diseases in mind.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Second primary malignancies (SPMs) are long-term complications in cancer survivors. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas are indolent extra-nodal marginal zone lymphomas, the majority of which typically have long-term survival. In this study, we investigated the incidence and pattern of SPMs in adult patients diagnosed with MALT lymphomas between January 2000 and December 2016. METHODS Using the SEER-18 database and multiple primary standardized incidence ratio (MP-SIR) session of SEER stat software for statistical analysis, we assessed SPMs in MALT lymphomas. RESULTS During this time, a total of 12,500 cases of MALT lymphomas were diagnosed, of which 1466 patients developed 1626 SPMs (O/E ratio: 1.48, 95% CI:1.41-1.55, P<.001). The median latency period for development of SPMs was 54 months (range 6-201 months). Secondary non-Hodgkin lymphomas, as defined by SEER as distinct from the primary lymphoma, was the most common SPM with 299 cases, followed by lung cancer (O/E ratio: 6.15, 95% CI:5.47-6.89, P<.0001). There were 898 SPMs that developed between 6- 59 months (O/E ratio: 1.47, 95% CI:1.37-1.57, P<.0001) and 728 after 60 months latency (O/E ratio: 1.5, 95% CI:1.39-1.61, P<.0001) after diagnosis of the primary MALT lymphomas. An increased incidence of both solid and hematologic cancers occurred in patients as early as 6 months after diagnosis of MALT lymphoma. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that despite the indolent nature of most MALT lymphomas, there is an increased risk for SPMs warranting long-term follow up.

Abstract
Whether gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (GML) is associated with a higher risk of second primary malignancy (SPM) remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the detailed risk of SPM and its prognosis in patients with GML based on a large population-based cohort. The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was searched to identify patients who were diagnosed with GML during 2000-2014. The standardized incidence ratio was used to estimate the relative risk of developing SPM. Overall survival was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test, as well as Cox regression analysis. Among 3,379 patients with GML, 416 patients (12.31%) developed SPMs. Compared to the general US population, GML patients had a significantly increased risk of developing SPM (standardized incidence ratio: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.33-1.61). The SPM sites were stomach, lung and bronchus, small intestine, thyroid, mouth, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The risk of developing SPM in GML patients varied according to clinical and demographic characteristics. Patients with younger age (<50 year), chemotherapy use and radiotherapy use had the higher risk of developing SPMs. Relative to patients with only GML, GML patients who developed the SPMs had significantly poorer overall survival (P < 0.001). Among GML patients with SPMs, poor overall survival was independently associated with non-localized SPM disease, shorter latency period (<60 months), chemotherapy use and older age (≥70 year). Patients with GML had an elevated risk of developing SPM, which was associated with a poor prognosis. These findings may be useful for improving follow-up surveillance for patients with GML.

Risk for malignancies of infectious etiology among adult survivors of specific non-Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes. Blood Adv 2019; 3:1961-1969.

Abstract
Infectious agents have been identified in the etiology of certain non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) subtypes and solid tumors. The impact of this shared etiology on risk for second cancers in NHL survivors has not been comprehensively studied. We used US population-based cancer registry data to quantify risk of solid malignancies associated with infectious etiology among 127 044 adult 1-year survivors of the 4 most common NHL subtypes diagnosed during 2000 to 2014 (mean follow-up, 4.5-5.2 years). Compared with the general population, elevated risks for liver, stomach, and anal cancers were observed among diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) survivors (standardized incidence ratio [SIR], 1.85; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.46-2.31; SIR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.16-1.94; SIR, 3.71; 95% CI, 2.52-5.27, respectively) and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL; SIR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.34-2.83; SIR, 2.78; 95% CI, 2.02-3.74; SIR, 2.36; 95% CI, 1.02-4.64, respectively) but not follicular lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. Anal cancer risk was particularly elevated among DLBCL survivors with HIV (SIR, 68.34; 95% CI, 37.36-114.66) vs those without (SIR, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.22-3.34). The observed patterns are consistent with shared associations between these cancers and hepatitis C virus, Helicobacter pylori, and HIV, respectively. In contrast, risks for cervical and oropharyngeal/tonsil cancers were not elevated among survivors of any NHL subtype, possibly because of the lack of NHL association with human papillomavirus or population-wide screening practices (for cervical cancer). In summary, patterns of elevated second cancer risk differed by NHL subtype. Our results suggest shared infectious etiology has implications for subsequent cancer risks among DLBCL and MZL survivors, which may help inform surveillance for these survivors.

Abstract
In a retrospective study performed in California, U.S.A., ca. 3% of patients with gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) developed gastric cancer (GC) within a median time period of 4.6 years after diagnosis of GIM. This observation stresses the importance of targeted surveillance even in regions with a low GC prevalence. Patients with alcoholic liver disease as well as survivors of colorectal and lobular breast cancer were found to be at increased risk of secondary GC. A population-based Chinese study confirmed "serologic biopsy" as a useful screening tool for stratifying the individual risk of developing GC. Concerning GC therapy, a post hoc analysis of the MAGIC trial reported that regression of lymph node metastases, but not the tumor regression itself, predicts overall survival. Furthermore, in patients with high microsatellite instable tumors, perioperative chemotherapy leads to an increased risk of mortality. Two studies confirmed that eradication therapy is worthwhile as an initial treatment for gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma irrespective of the H. pylori infection status and stage. An increased risk of a second primary malignancy including GC was observed in these patients treated with immuno/chemotherapy but not in patients treated solely with an H. pylori eradication treatment. With respect to gastrointestinal malignancies other than GC, discrepant data have been published regarding the association of H. pylori with pancreatic cancer whereas no association has been reported with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The majority of published studies still support an association of H. pylori with colon neoplasms.
