Overview
Chest, abdominal, and/or pelvic CT scan is generally performed to evaluate the extent and spread of MALT lymphoma. If the disease is limited to the stomach (which is assessed with computed tomography), then 70-80% of patients will have a complete regression on treatment with antibiotic eradication of H. pylori.[1]
