Brief summary
Aims: A nationwide study to prospectively validate 1. The complete histological and molecular remission rate for antibiotics as 1st-line therapy for early-stage Hp-positive gastric pure (de novo) DLBCL 2. The durability of complete histological remission after antibiotics 3. The usefulness of pattern of NF-kB, BCL10, BAFF, and CagA by IHC staining in prospectively predicting the Hp-dependence of gastric pure (de novo) DLBCL 4. The frequency of t(11;18)(q21;q21) translocation in gastric pure (de novo) DLBCL in Taiwan. 5. The association between the CYP2C18/CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms and eradication of Hp infection after antibiotics.
Detailed description
The study will validate the use of antibiotics as first-line therapy for stage IE (and perhaps IIE-1) Hp-positive gastric pure (de novo) DLBCL. The status of NF-kB, BCL10, BAFF, and CagA IHC nuclear staining will help to tailoring the treatment for early-stage gastric pure (de novo) DLBCL. And 50-60% of stage IE / IIE-1 pure (de novo) DLBCL patients can be cured by 2-weeks of antibiotics rather than the 6-months of relatively toxic front-line systemic chemotherapy. The investigators shall also elucidate the distribution of CYP2C18/19 in patients with pure (de novo) DLBCL and their association with the efficacy of sequential antibiotics for eradication of Hp infection.

Inclusion criteria
1. Patients must have histologically confirmed H. pylori-positive primary gastric pure (de novo) gastric DLBCL. 2. Patient must have no prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy for his/her gastric pure (de novo) gastric DLBCL. 3. Patients must have evaluable disease by endoscopy and/or by computed tomography. 4. Patients must have documented H. pylori infection before treatment, if any of the following test show positive result: histology, rapid urease test (CLO-test), C13 urease breath test, and serology. 5. Patients must have either stage IE or IIE-1 disease, according to an adaptation of the Ann Arbor staging system modified by Musshoff for primary extranodal lymphoma. 6. Patients who are either newly diagnosed or already starting anti-H. pylori therapy but not have follow-up endoscopy and biopsy are eligible. 7. Patient must have signed the informed consent, and agree to provide achieved pathologic material for immunohistochemical / fluorescence in situ hybridization study and RT-PCR for t(11;18)(q21;q21) determination.
Exclusion criteria
1. Patients with extensive gastrointestinal tract involvement. 2. Patients with previous history of extranodal lymphoma. 3. Patients with stage IIE-2 or beyond disease: infiltration of regional lymph node. 4. Patients with cardiopulmonary status that do not allow repeat endoscopy. 5. Patients with prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy for their primary gastric lymphoma. 6. Patients who had previous anti-H. pylori therapy and without pretreatment pathology achieve material for histological review and immunohistochemical study.
