A member asked:
Can you tell me how a low grade b cell lymphoma(maltoma )affects a normal life of a young man?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Treatment depends on site (usually gastric) and whether there is an associated infection as underlying cause(H. Pylori in gastric). Treating infection can resolve lymphoma in some cases. Other isolated maltomas might be treated with radiation and resolve. Chemo is last choice. Prognosis can be very good. Talk to your oncologist.
