| 摘要: | Ga-67 citrate scintigraphy has been routinely and extensively used to evaluate non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) for more than 20 years. Gastric lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) is by far the most common extranodal primary NHL. Gastric MALT lymphoma can be classified as low-grade (LG) or high-grade (HG). Low-grade gastric MALT lymphoma can be cured by eradication of Helicobacter pylori; but radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy and/or surgery are the major methods of treatment for the HG gastric MALT lymphoma. However, it is difficult to differentiate these two groups by clinical parameters and endoscopic findings. The purpose of this study was to determine whether Ga-67 citrate scintigraphy can distinguish the LG gastric MALT lymphoma from the HG gastric MALT lymphoma. Twenty-one patients (11 men and 10 women ranging in age from 38 to 83 years) with histologically confirmed gastric MALT lymphoma were enrolled. Twelve patients had LG and nine patients had HG. All 21 patients underwent Ga-67 citrate scintigraphy before treatment. The results of Ga-67 citrate scintigraphy were classified as positive or negative. In the LG group, nine patients had negative results and three patients had positive results. In the HG group of nine patients, all patients had positive results. Among the three patients who had positive results in the LG group, the uptake of gastric MALT lymphoma was lower than that of the liver. The Ga-67 citrate scintigraphy is of good clinical value for the differentiation of the LG gastric MALT lymphoma and the HG gastric MALT lymphoma. We think that the major value of Ga-67 citrate scintigraphy will be in following the patients with HG gastric MALT lymphoma after treatment to assess response of therapy and to detect possible recurrence and perhaps in determining transformation from the LG to HG gastric MALT lymphoma. However, further investigation is needed to understand the relationship between the uptake of Ga-67 citrate in gastric MALT lymphoma and transformation. |
