Does MALT lymphoma of the lung require immediate treatment? An analysis of 11 untreated cases with long-term follow-up.

Abstract

Our findings suggest that MALT lymphoma of the lung is a very indolent disease with the potential for spontaneous regression. In view of this, patients diagnosed with pulmonary MALT lymphoma might not require immediate treatment in the absence of symptoms and a watch-and-wait policy could be adopted.
