Abstract:
Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) accounts for approximately 10 % of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). It can be divided into three specific entities:extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma), nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL) and splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL). MALT lymphoma is the most frequent overall, representing 7.5 % of all NHLs. Reports on research progress of MZL in the 58th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting covered multiple respects which ranged from basic research to clinical prognosis and treatment. Based on the technology such as flow cytometry, cytogenetics and FISH, further study on pathogenesis of MZL is developing, and new prognostic index system can help to stratify patients more exactly and give a guidance to treatment. What's more, the change of therapy and new drugs will benefit to the clinical efficacy and safety of MZL patients.
