Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is antibiotic treatment effective in patients infected with Helicobacter pylori suffering from extragastric MALT lymphoma?
Answer: In our series, HP-eradication was ineffective for treatment of extragastric MALT lymphomas. This finding, along with an infection rate of 45%-as could also be expected in the general Austrian population-suggests that HP does not play a role in the development of these lymphomas. Antibiotic treatment targeting HP should, therefore, be discouraged in patients with extragastric MALT lymphomas.
Output (English): no
