Prognosis

• The prognosis is good, and the 10-year survival rate for gastric MALT lymphoma is approximately 90% with a disease-free survival of approximately 70%.
• However, in rare instances, MALT lymphoma can progress and transform into aggressive high-grade tumors, such as extranodal diffuse large B cell lymphoma (eDLBCL), whereby the 10-year survival rate drops to approximately 42%.
