摘要
Marginal zone lymphomas rank as the third most prevalent form of non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma,trailing behind diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma.Gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma(GML)is a low-grade B-cell neoplasia frequently correlated with Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)-induced chronic gastritis.On the other hand,a specific subset of individuals diagnosed with GML does not exhibit H.pylori infection.In contrast to its H.pylori-positive counterpart,it was previously believed that H.pylori-negative GML was less likely to respond to antimicrobial therapy.Despite this,surprisingly,increasing evidence supports that a considerable proportion of patients with H.pylori-negative GML show complete histopathological remission after bacterial eradication therapy.Nonetheless,the precise mechanisms underlying this treatment responsiveness are not yet fully comprehended.In recent years,there has been growing interest in investigating the role of non-H.pylori gastric helicobacters(NHPHs)in the pathogenesis of H.pylori-negative GML.However,additional research is required to establish the causal relationship between NHPHs and GML.In this minireview,we examined the current understanding and proposed prospects on the involvement of NHPHs in H.pylori-negative GML,as well as their potential response to bacterial eradication therapy.
