Results of upfront therapy for marginal zone lymphoma

Marginal zone lymphomas (MZL) represent a group of indolent lymphomas that originates from the marginal zone of lymphoid tissue. [1-3] The World Health Organization classifies these indolent lymphomas into three distinct types based on their site of origin: extranodal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) MZL, nodal MZL (NMZL) and the splenic MZL (SMZL). Even though these entities share common features, they also display clinical, molecular and biological heterogeneity depending on the organ where they originate from.
