Overview
Risk Factors
- The most potent risk factor in the development of gastric MALT lymphoma is H.pyroli infection. About 5–10% of people with gastric MALT lymphoma do not have an H. pylori infection (H. pylori negative).[1] Other risk factors for gastric MALT lymphoma include:[2]
- Common risk factors in the development of MALT lymphoma, in areas of the body other than the stomach, are autoimmune disorders such as:[1]
