After having examined the literature on the subject, the authors examined 23 cases of lymphoma selected from those admitted to hospital over the past 10 years: 44.78% were Hodgkin and 65.22% non-Hodgkin. They examined the localisation, which was gastric in all cases, associated pathologies and treatment, which was total gastrectomy in 56.52%. Moreover, the authors also considered the quality of life of patients undergoing total gastrectomy which was found to be good in 23.07%, a percentage which is higher than that expressed for other types of surgery (gastric resection) or medical treatment (chemotherapy). In conclusion, the authors affirm that total gastrectomy is worth performing in these patients, even if the percentage of deaths is higher than for gastric resection, given that te quality of life is better in total gastrectomy.
