Description	This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of radiation therapy (RT) for stage I gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and find predictive factors for relapse after RT. This retrospective study included 145 patients without a prior history of treatment, except Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy, who were irradiated for stage I gastric MALT lymphoma. The gastric body was the most commonly involved location of the dominant lesion (66.9%), and H. pylori infection at first diagnosis was detected in 61 (42.1%) patients. The median RT dose was 30 Gy (range, 24–40). Seven patients had an autoimmune disease. All patients except one achieved a complete remission at post-treatment endoscopic biopsy after a median of 2 months (range, 1–36). During the median follow-up at 51 months (range, 2–146), 11 patients experienced relapses: in the stomach (n = 5), in a distant site (n = 4), and in both (n = 2). The five-year overall, local relapse-free, distant relapse-free, and relapse-free survival (RFS) rates were 98.6%, 94.0%, 97.1%, and 92.3%, respectively. In multivariate analysis for RFS, the location of MALT lymphoma other than in the gastric body was significantly associated with an increased risk of relapse (hazard ratio 5.85 (95% CI 1.49–22.9), p = 0.011). RT results in favorable clinical outcomes in patients with stage I gastric MALT lymphoma. Tumor location could be a predictive factor for relapse after RT.
