Abstract:
Infectious factors contribute to human cancers.In past few years,chlamydia,hepatitis C virus (HCV)and helicobacter pylori (HP)had been found in the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT)lymphomas of ocular adnexa.The infectious factors had been considered to be associated with the oncogenesis,management and treatment of tumor.Antibiotic therapy against infectious factors may herald a future with a curtailed role for traditional therapies of surgery,radiation,and chemotherapy.Unlike MALT lymphoma of gastric related to a single infectious factor,multiple organisms may play a role in the etiology in MALT lymphoma of ocular adnexa.MALT lymphoma of ocular adnexa is seldom in clinic.The characteristics of MALT lymphoma of ocular adnexa,the relationship of MALT lymphoma of ocular adnexa and causal agents are reviewed.
