Molecular Analysis of the Progression fromHelicobacter pylori–Associated Chronic Gastritis to Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid-Tissue Lymphoma of the Stomach

Abstract
Several lines of evidence suggest a link between chronic gastritis due to Helicobacter pylori and mucosa-associated lymphoid-tissue (MALT) lymphoma of the stomach.1,2 A close epidemiologic association has been reported.3-5 The microorganism can be found in the gastric mucosa in nearly all cases, and regression of low-grade gastric MALT lymphoma has been demonstrated after the eradication of H. pylori. 6,7
