MALT lymphoma is a form of lymphoma (cancer of the lymph system) that can occur in any mucosal site, often in the stomach. Its name comes from the immune cells of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). MALT originates from lymphoid tissue aggregates found in mucosal membranes like the gastrointestinal tract, nose, throat, thyroid, breast, lung, salivary glands, eye, and skin. It is sometimes associated with Hepatitis C and H pylori infections and some autoimmune conditions. Symptoms and workup depend on location but the diagnosis is always made with a biopsy.
Treatment of MALT Lymphoma
Many cases of MALT lymphoma can be cured. Treatments include antibiotics, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of treatments and sometimes early stage cases are carefully observed with active surveillance.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.
(Sep 27, 2024)
Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
