What are the current treatments for Gastric Lymphoma?
Treatment for gastric lymphoma depends on the specific type and the progression of the disease. Treatment for gastric lymphoma additionally requires a multidisciplinary team of doctors and other specialists. Treatment for gastric lymphoma may include antibiotic Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy and chemotherapy (Rituxan) with CHOP (cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin Oncovin (vincristine) and prednisone). Symptomatic and supportive care includes treating dehydration, nausea, and vomiting, administering pain medications, antacids, stenting to alleviate gastric obstruction, and bone marrow stimulating drugs to alleviate side effects of chemotherapy.
