Helicobacter pylori-negative and API2-MALT1-negative gastric MALT lymphoma cases exhibited a high rate of non-Helicobacter pylori helicobacter infections, which may have contributed to the success of eradication therapy. Therefore, we recommend eradication therapy as a first-line treatment for non-Helicobacter pylori helicobacter-positive gastric MALT lymphoma.
