Abstract
The main clinical and analytic parameters, the response to treatment and su rvival in patients affected by gastrointestinal (n=27) or extradigestive (n =10) MALT lymphomas diagnosed in a period of 15 years in a single hospital were analyzed. The location, gastrointestinal or not, did not have any infl uence on either the response to treatment (85% vs 100%), overall survival ( 71% vs 100%) or disease-free survival (61% vs 89%) probabilities.
