Core Tip

Core Tip: Increasingly extranodal marginal B-cell lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, known as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, is a type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The prognosis of primary gastric MALT (GML) patients can be affected by many factors. The available data are mainly focused on epidemiology; in contrast, few studies have investigated the prognostic variables for overall survival (OS) in patients with primary GML. Based on the realities above, we searched a large amount of data on patients diagnosed with primary GML in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database. The aim was to develop and verify a survival nomogram model that can predict the OS prognosis of primary GML by combining prognostic and determinant variables. In this manuscript, our results demonstrated that Nomogram is developed and validated to have a good survival predictive performance, basing on five clinical independent risk factors of OS for primary GML patients. Nomogram will be a low cost and convenient clinical tool in assessing individualized prognosis and treatment for primary GML patients.
