Overview
Chest, abdominal, and/or pelvic CT scan is generally performed to help in the staging 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]
