We present 20 cases of primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the stomach. Histological classification, staging, age of patients and therapeutical approach were evaluated. Median overall survival was 30 months, and 5-year survival was 44%. In our small series, the age of the patients plays an important role: median overall survival is 18 months in patients greater than 60 y.o. (compared to 90 months in patients less than 60 y.o.) and 5-year survival 12.5% (compared to 62%).

Background and objective Lymphomas can involve the gastrointestinal (GI) tract as a primary disease or as a secondary spread of systemic disease. The GI tract is a key site for extranodal lymphomas, with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) occurring in this region. This study aimed to analyze the demography, anatomic distribution, histological subtypes, and immunomorphological characteristics of all lymphomas with a primary GI presentation at a quaternary care hospital in southern India.

This study investigated the anti-gastric cancer activity and mechanism of Panacis Quinquefolii Radix(Panax quinquefolium L.), and preliminarily compared the in vivo anti-gastric cancer efficacy of American-imported(JK-AG) and domestically produced(Shandong) Panacis Quinquefolii Radix decoctions(SD-AG). Based on network pharmacology predictions, a LUC-MGC803 cell ectopic gastric cancer nude mouse model was established.
