Gastric lymphoma develops from lymphoid (immune) tissue in the stomach wall, while gastric adenocarcinoma originates from gland-forming cells. Their treatment approaches and prognoses differ significantly.
The most common subtype of gastric lymphoma is B-cell lymphoma, which starts in B lymphocytes. Treatment often includes combination chemotherapy along with targeted therapy such as rituximab.
