Overview
Secondary prevention strategies following MALT lymphoma include urease breath test, performed 4-6 weeks after completion of the course of antibiotic therapy, and endoscopy with concurrent biopsy, performed 3-6 months after the treatment is finished.[1]
Secondary Prevention
Secondary prevention strategies following MALT lymphoma include:[1]
- 4-6 weeks after completion of the course of antibiotic therapy for eradication of H.pyroli, urease breath test is performed to check for H. pylori.
- 3–6 months after the treatment has finished, endoscopy is performed. Biopsy is also performed simultaneously to confirm the eradication of H. pyroli infection and to assess whether the lymphoma is decreasing. The endoscopy is then performed every 4-6 months, eventually dropping to once a year.
