ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the status quo of the diagnosis and treatments of primary gastro-intestinal lymphoma (PGIL) in order to improve it. Methods Eighty-one patients with PGIL were ana-lyzed retrospectively including clinical manifestations, endoscopic features, pathological features, HP in-fection, treatment, and prognosis. Results The age of patients with gastric lymphoma was (52.84±15.33) years. The age of patients with intestinal lymphoma was (42.09±15.28) years. Common symp-toms included abdominal pain (76.5%), gastrointestinal bleeding (55.6%), anemia (54.3%), abdominal mass (25.9%), hypoproteinemia (40.7%), bowel obstruction (11.1%), abdominal dis-tension, vomiting, and other non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms (32.1%), weight loss (33.3%); fever (8.6%), diarrhea (7.4%), digestive tract perforation (1.2%), constipation (1.2%), and dysphagia (1.2%). Endoscopic appearances were as follows tumor type (67.7%), ulcer type (27.7%), and diffuse type (4.6%). Clinical diagnosis rate and endoscopic biopsy confirmation rate were 30.9% and 73.8%. MALT lymphoma accounted for 61.7% of the patients. HP detection rate was 39.5 % and positive rate was 37.5 %. A total of 69 patients received surgeries 3 had preoperative chem-otherapy, and 34 had postoperative chemotherapy. Twelve patients had non-surgical treatment, 6 patients of whom had simple chemotherapy and HP eradication therapy, and the other 6 gave up during the treat-ment. There was no significant difference in the survival rate of Stage Ⅰ~Ⅱ patients in the surgery alone group, surgery plus chemotherapy group, and chemotherapy and HP eradication therapy group (P>0.05). The survival rate of Stage IIIⅢ~Ⅳ patients in the surgery alone group was lower than that in the other 2 groups (P<0.05). The 5-year, 3-year, and 1-year survival rate was 55.87%, 70.96%, and 96.39%, respectively. Conclusion There are no specific clinical and endoscopic features in PGIL, so the misdiagnosis rate is high. Multi-site biopsy or repeated biopsies and immunohistochemical methods can be used to raise the pathological diagnosis rate. Chemotherapy and HP eradication are recommended.
