[Title] Stromal regulatory T-cells are associated with a favourable prognosis in gastric cancer of the cardia.

We assessed the prognostic significance of tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in intestinal-type gastric cardiac cancer.

CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that inflammatory processes within the tumour stroma of gastric intestinal-type adenocarcinomas located at the gastric cardia may affect outcome in two ways.

Thus, inhibition of Treg may not be a feasible treatment option in gastric adenocarcinoma.

[Title] Endogenous versus exogenous exposure to N-nitroso compounds and gastric cancer risk in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC-EURGAST) study.

The risk of gastric cancer (GC) associated with dietary intake of nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and endogenous formation of nitroso compounds (NOCs) was investigated in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC).

ENOC was significantly associated with non-cardia cancer risk (HR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.14-1.78 for an increase of 40 microg/day) but not with cardia cancer (HR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.69-1.33).

ENOC formation may account for our previously reported association between red and processed meat consumption and gastric cancer risk.

[Title] Feasibility of sentinel node concept in gastric carcinoma: clinicopathological analysis of gastric cancer with solitary lymph node metastases.

BACKGROUND: The feasibility and diagnostic reliability of sentinel lymph node biopsy of gastric carcinoma are still unclear and controversial.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: To assess the applicability of the sentinel node concept to gastric carcinoma, we retrospectively analyzed the location of metastatic lymph nodes in patients with only one or two lymph node metastases.

RESULTS: A total of 135 patients, who underwent gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for primary gastric adenocarcinoma between 1997 and 2001, were enrolled in this study.

Skip metastases were only seen in one patient with cardia carcinoma and lymph node involvement of compartment II (left gastric artery).

CONCLUSION: In patients with gastric carcinoma, especially in early stage carcinoma, the phenomenon of skip metastasis is infrequent.

Therefore, the sentinel node concept may be feasible in gastric cancer.

[Title] Tamoxifen exposure and risk of oesophageal and gastric adenocarcinoma: a population-based cohort study of breast cancer patients in Sweden.

Standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) of oesophageal and gastric cancer represented relative risks.

Among 138 885 cohort members contributing with 1 075 724 person-years of follow-up, we found a nonsignificantly increased risk of oesophageal adenocarcinoma during the potential tamoxifen exposure period (SIR 1.60, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.83-3.08), but the risk estimates decreased with increasing latency interval.

No increased risk of cardia adenocarcinoma was identified in either period.

The risk of non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma was increased in the potential tamoxifen period (SIR 1.27, 1.03-1.57), and almost doubled (SIR 1.86, 95% CI 1.10-3.14) in the period of longest latency (10-14 years).

We concluded that there might be a link between tamoxifen and risk of non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma.

[Title] Human papillomavirus serology and the risk of esophageal and gastric cancers: results from a cohort in a high-risk region in China.

Each year, esophageal and gastric cancers cause more than 900,000 deaths worldwide.

We conducted a large prospective study to examine the association between serum antibodies to HPV 16, HPV 18 and HPV 73 and subsequent development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA), and gastric noncardia adenocarcinoma (GNCA) in a high-risk population for these cancers in Linxian, China.

The results of this study do not support a major role for HPV 16, HPV 18 and HPV 73 in the etiology of esophageal and gastric cancers in Linxian, China.

[Title] Plasma and dietary carotenoid, retinol and tocopherol levels and the risk of gastric adenocarcinomas in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition.

Despite declining incidence rates, gastric cancer (GC) is a major cause of death worldwide.

The objective of this study was to determine the association of plasma levels of seven common carotenoids, their total plasma concentration, retinol and alpha- and gamma-tocopherol, with the risk of gastric adenocarcinoma in a case-control study nested within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), a large cohort involving 10 countries.

A secondary objective was to determine the association of total sum of carotenoids, retinol and alpha-tocopherol on GCs by anatomical subsite (cardia/noncardia) and histological subtype (diffuse/intestinal).

[Title] Sentinel node biopsy to evaluate the metastatic dissemination of oesophageal adenocarcinoma.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility and accuracy of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for oesophageal adenocarcinoma.

METHODS: Fifty-seven patients with adenocarcinoma of the lower oesophagus (n = 40) or gastric cardia (n = 17) underwent endoscopic peritumoral injection of (99m)Tc-radiolabelled nanocolloid before en bloc resection with extended lymphadenectomy.

Lower oesophageal tumours had a greater proportion of SLNs (P = 0.018), radioactive uptake (P < 0.001) and malignant nodes (P = 0.004) in the mediastinum than gastric cardia tumours.

CONCLUSION: The sentinel node concept is applicable to oesophageal adenocarcinoma and could be used to tailor the extent of lymphadenectomy.

There is a close relationship between patterns of radioactive uptake and lymphatic tumour dissemination, which differ for lower oesophageal and gastric cardia tumours.

BACKGROUND: The association of body mass index and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including its complications (esophagitis, Barrett esophagus, and esophageal adenocarcinoma), is unclear.

PURPOSE: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the magnitude and determinants of an association between obesity and GERD symptoms, erosive esophagitis, Barrett esophagus, and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and of the gastric cardia.

Six of 7 studies found significant associations of BMI with erosive esophagitis, 6 of 7 found significant associations with esophageal adenocarcinoma, and 4 of 6 found significant associations with gastric cardia adenocarcinoma.

Similarly, the pooled adjusted odds ratios for esophageal adenocarcinoma for BMI of 25 kg/m2 to 30 kg/m2 and BMI greater than 30 kg/m2 were 1.52 (CI, 1.147 to 2.009) and 2.78 (CI, 1.850 to 4.164), respectively.

CONCLUSION: Obesity is associated with a statistically significant increase in the risk for GERD symptoms, erosive esophagitis, and esophageal adenocarcinoma.

[Title] Cancer of the gastric cardia.

Current evidence indicates that cardia cancers are of at least two distinct and disparate aetiologies.

One type resembles cancer of the more distal stomach (Type A), being a consequence of atrophic gastritis due to Helicobacter pylori infection or more rarely autoimmune atrophic gastritis.

Another type (Type B) resembles oesophageal adenocarcinoma and is likely to be a consequence of short-segment gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.

The two cancers are themselves indistinguishable but examination of the gastric phenotype indicates the aetiology: Type A occurring in patients with evidence of atrophic gastritis whereas Type B occurs in subjects with healthy acid secreting stomachs.

In subjects with healthy acid secreting stomachs the cardia has a specific luminal chemistry remaining highly acidic and unbuffered following a meal and having very active nitrosative chemistry due to the acidification of nitrite in saliva.

[Title] Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and risk of gastric and oesophageal adenocarcinomas: results from a cohort study and a meta-analysis.

Use of aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may reduce the risk of gastric or oesophageal adenocarcinomas.

We examined the association between self-reported use of aspirin or non-aspirin NSAIDs in the earlier 12 months and gastric non-cardia (N=182), gastric cardia (N=178), and oesophageal adenocarcinomas (N=228) in a prospective cohort (N=311 115) followed for 7 years.

Use of any aspirin (HR, 95% CI: 0.64, 0.47-0.86) or other NSAIDs (0.68, 0.51-0.92) was associated with a significantly lower risk of gastric non-cardia adenocarcinoma.

Neither aspirin (0.86, 0.61-1.20) nor other NSAIDs (0.91, 0.67-1.22) had a significant association with gastric cardia cancer.

We found no significant association between using aspirin (1.00, 0.73-1.37) or other NSAIDs (0.90, 69-1.17) and oesophageal adenocarcinoma.

We also performed a meta-analysis of the association between the use of NSAIDs and risk of gastric and oesophageal adenocarcinoma.

In this analysis, aspirin use was inversely associated with both gastric and oesophageal adenocarcinomas, with summary odds ratios (95% CI) for non-cardia, cardia, and oesophageal adenocarcinomas of 0.64 (0.52-0.80), 0.82 (0.65-1.04), and 0.64 (0.52-0.79), respectively.

[Title] Dietary patterns and gastric cancer in a Portuguese urban population.

We aimed to quantify the association between dietary patterns and gastric cancer, by location and histological type, according to Helicobacter pylori infection status.

We analyzed 591 incident cases of gastric adenocarcinoma and 1,463 community controls.

Compared to pattern I, the risk of gastric cancer was higher for pattern II (OR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.31-2.14) but not for pattern III (OR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.57-1.14), with no effect modification by H. pylori infection.

The association was similar for cardia and non-cardia gastric cancer, but for tumors of the diffuse Laurén histological type, the association was weaker for pattern II vs. I (OR = 1.32, 95% CI: 0.83-2.08) and a protective effect was observed for pattern III vs. I (OR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.22-0.87).

[Title] Cigarette smoking, body mass index, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use and risk of subtypes of esophageal and gastric cancers by P53 overexpression.

A number of risk factors for esophageal and gastric cancers have emerged, yet little is known whether risk factors map to molecular tumor markers such as overexpression of the tumor suppressor TP53.

Using a US multicenter, population-based case-control study (170 cases of esophageal adenocarcinomas, 147 gastric cardia adenocarcinomas, 220 non-cardia gastric adenocarcinomas, and 112 esophageal squamous cell carcinomas), we examined whether the risk associated with cigarette smoking, body mass index (BMI), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use varied by P53 overexpression.

The proportion of cases overexpressing P53 by tumor subtype was 72% for esophageal adenocarcinoma, 69% for gastric cardia adenocarcinoma, 52% for non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma, and 67% for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

For non-cardia gastric cancer however, an association with cigarette smoking was suggested for tumors that do not overexpress P53, whereas larger BMI was related to adenocarcinomas that overexpress P53 versus no overexpression.

Overall, this study did not find a clear relationship between P53 protein overexpression and the known risk factors for subtypes of esophageal and gastric cancers.

[Title] Total gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Gastric cancer is one of the most common organ cancers all around the world and surgical resection is essential for treatment.

Total gastrectomy is the procedure of choice for treatment of proximal gastric cancer.

METHODOLOGY: Thirty-eight gastric cancer patients underwent total gastrectomy in the Third Surgical Clinic of Izmir Ataturk Training and Research Hospital between 1996 and 2001.

Sites of the tumors were: cardia 28.9%, cardia and corpus 15.8%, corpus 34.3%, corpus and antrum 18.4%, linitis plastica 2.6%.

Histological types were adenocarcinoma (97.4%), and squamous cell carcinoma (2.6%).

Gastric tubes were removed on the fourth postoperative day.

[Title] Prevalence patterns of gastric cancers in Turkey: model of a developing country with high occurrence of Helicobacter pylori.

AIM: In developed countries, there has been a recent increase in the prevalence of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and cardia, along with a decrease in distal gastric cancers.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate changes in the prevalence of gastric adenocarcinomas in Turkey as a function of anatomic location.

Owing to the exclusion criteria, a total of 4065 cases of tumors of the stomach and distal esophagus were included.

The ratio of distal/proximal adenocarcinoma was 2,1 [corrected] for the western part of Turkey and 3,8 [corrected] for the eastern part of the country (P < 0.0001), and this did not change during the 11 years. H. pylori was detected significantly less in the west compared to the east for distal tumors (65.7 vs 38.7%, respectively, P = 0.02).

CONCLUSION: In Turkey, a developing country with a high H. pylori prevalence, contrary to the state of developed countries, the ratio of distal versus proximal gastric adenocarcinomas has not changed.

Geographical distribution should be taken into the account in projecting the changing patterns of gastric cancers.

[Title] Spleen preservation in radical surgery for gastric cardia cancer.

BACKGROUND: In gastric cardia cancer (GCC), the spleen is usually removed when the tumor is resected.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of spleen preservation on survival following radical resection for gastric cardia cancer.

CONCLUSIONS: Splenectomy does not improve survival of patients who undergo curative resection for gastric cardia cancer.

[Title] Prospective study of physical activity and risk of primary adenocarcinomas of the oesophagus and stomach in the EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and nutrition) cohort.

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the association between types of physical activity (occupational, recreational and household, vigorous and overall) and risk of primary oesophageal (OAC) or gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC).

Analyses were repeated by tumour site (cardia/non-cardia) and histological type (intestinal/diffuse).

A lower risk of overall and non-cardia GAC was found for increasing levels of a PA index which combined occupational PA with weekly time spent in sports and cycling.

The hazard ratio (HR) of GAC was 0.69, 95% CI: 0.50-0.94, for the comparison between active and inactive participants according to the PA index (HR = 0.44, 95% CI:0.26-0.74, for non-cardia GAC).

No effect was found for cardia tumours or histological subtypes of GAC.

CONCLUSIONS: Overall and distal (non-cardia) gastric tumours were inversely associated with time spent on cycling and sports and a total PA index.

No association was found for any type of PA and risk of cardia cancers of the stomach.

[Title] Gastric metastases. An endoscopic series of ten cases.

We report a series of ten cases of the clinical, endoscopic and pathological features of gastric metastases.

Patients were six women and four men between 54 and 88 years old, with gastric metastases from breast carcinoma (4), lung carcinoma (4) and melanoma (2).

Metastases were located in the cardia (2), fundus (5) and antrum (3).

The microscopic features of the gastric metastases resembled a primary gastric cancer in eight cases.

Thanks to clinical data, the pathologist confirmed the diagnosis of gastric metastases on immunohistochemistry.

Gastric metastases are rare, occur at a late stage of the neoplastic disease, and have a poor prognosis.

Diagnosis of gastric metastases is difficult because they simulate primary gastric cancer on endoscopy and on microscopic examination.

[Title] Transhiatal esophagectomy for distal and cardia cancers: implications of a positive gastric margin.

BACKGROUND: A common operation for cancer of the esophagus and cardia consists of transhiatal esophagectomy, proximal gastrectomy, and a cervical esophagogastric anastomosis.

The oncologic adequacy of dividing the stomach 4 to 6 cm distal to palpable tumor is not well documented, and when a positive gastric margin is present on the final pathologic analysis, the appropriate management is not established.

This study was undertaken to determine the incidence of a positive gastric margin in these patients and the impact of adjuvant treatment.

METHODS: A retrospective review was performed of 1044 patients undergoing transhiatal esophagectomy for adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus or cardia.

Twenty (1.9%) had a positive gastric margin on final the pathologic evaluation and met inclusion criteria for this study.

CONCLUSIONS: A transhiatal esophagectomy and proximal gastrectomy for carcinoma of the distal esophagus and cardia, dividing the stomach 4 to 6 cm from palpable tumor, provides a negative gastric margin in 98% of patients.

In the few patients who have a positive gastric margin, 80% die with distant metastases, which would not be influenced by more extensive gastric resection, and in about 20%, local tumor recurrence develops in the intrathoracic stomach, seldom causing dysphagia.

Adjuvant therapy for a positive gastric margin neither improves survival nor reduces local tumor recurrence.

[Title] DNA repair polymorphisms and the risk of stomach adenocarcinoma and severe chronic gastritis in the EPIC-EURGAST study.

BACKGROUND: The contribution of genetic variation in DNA repair genes to gastric cancer (GC) risk remains essentially unknown.

Method A nested case control study within the EPIC cohort was performed including 246 gastric adenocarcinomas and 1175 matched controls.

RESULTS: No association was observed for any of these polymorphisms with stomach cancer risk.

This is the first prospective study suggesting that individual variation in DNA repair may be relevant for gastric carcinogenesis, a finding that will require further confirmation validation in larger independent studies.

[Title] Immunohistochemical and quantitative mRNA assessment of ghrelin expression in gastric and oesophageal adenocarcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Ghrelin is an orexigenic gut peptide produced predominantly by the stomach.

Gastric mucosal ghrelin production could be compromised by an infiltrating adenocarcinoma.

METHODS: 10 gastric and 22 oesophageal adenocarcinoma archival samples were randomly selected from a database.

Quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for ghrelin mRNA was also performed on 24 gastric and 8 oesophageal adenocarcinoma specimens and adjacent non-neoplastic mucosa.

RESULTS: Immunohistochemistry and reverse transcriptase PCR confirm a negligible expression of ghrelin in adenocarcinoma specimens.

By contrast, non-neoplastic gastric mucosa was rich in ghrelin-positive cells and ghrelin mRNA.

The number (median and range) of ghrelin-positive cells per 2 mm section of non-neoplastic mucosa was 73 (45-215) in the corpus; this was significantly higher than in cardia mucosa (9 (0-64), p<0.001) and antral mucosa (5 (0-14), p<0.001).

CONCLUSIONS: Gastric and oesophageal adenocarcinomas have no ghrelin-producing cells.

The highest level of ghrelin expression was noted in the non-neoplastic mucosa of the gastric corpus.

Disruption of the gastric ghrelin-producing mechanism may occur during oesophagogastric malignancy.

[Title] Influence of a microscopic positive proximal margin in the treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma of the cardia.

AIM: To investigate the influence of a positive proximal margin in total gastrectomy patients with gastric adenocarcinoma of the cardia.

METHODS: Medical records of 191 patients with total gastrectomies for adenocarcinoma of the cardia between 1995 and 2000 were reviewed.

CONCLUSION: A positive margin is more of an indication of advanced disease in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma of the cardia rather than an independent prognostic factor for survival.

[Title] Allelic imbalance on distal 7q (7q36.1-q36.3) in gastric cardia and oesophageal (Barrett's) adenocarcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Oesophageal (Barrett's) and gastric cardia adenocarcinomas are cancers arising at and around the gastro-oesophageal junction.

In addition, 40 gastric cardia cancers were investigated to compare the pattern of imbalance at these loci.

RESULTS: Overall, the number of allelic loss was higher in Barrett's cancers than in gastric cardia carcinomas (p=0.04).

In gastric cardia cancers, loss ranged from 12% to 27% (of informative cases), being most frequent at marker D7S3037.

The difference between oesophageal and gastric adenocarcinomas was highest for polymorphic marker D7S483 (p=0.05).

CONCLUSION: Marker D7S483 can aid in discriminating oesophageal (Barrett's) and gastric cardia carcinomas.

[Title] A prospective study of tobacco, alcohol, and the risk of esophageal and gastric cancer subtypes.

Rates of esophageal adenocarcinoma and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma have increased, while rates of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and gastric noncardia adenocarcinoma have decreased, suggesting distinct etiologies.

Between 1995/1996 and 2000, 97 incident cases of ESCC, 205 of esophageal adenocarcinoma, 188 of gastric cardia, and 187 of gastric noncardia cancer occurred.

Compared with nonsmokers, current smokers were at increased risk for ESCC (hazard ratio (HR) = 9.27, 95% confidence interval (CI): 4.04, 21.29), esophageal adenocarcinoma (HR = 3.70, 95% CI: 2.20, 6.22), gastric cardia (HR = 2.86, 95% CI: 1.73, 4.70), and gastric noncardia (HR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.32, 3.16).

Assuming causality, ever smoking had population attributable risks of 77% (95% CI: 0.55, 0.89) for ESCC, 58% (95% CI: 0.38, 0.72) for esophageal adenocarcinoma, 47% (95% CI: 0.27, 0.63) for gastric cardia, and 19% (95% CI: 0.00, 0.37) for gastric noncardia.

For drinkers of more than three alcoholic beverages per day, compared with those whose intake was up to one drink per day, the authors found significant associations between alcohol intake and ESCC risk (HR = 4.93, 95% CI: 2.69, 9.03) but not risk for esophageal, gastric cardia, or gastric noncardia adenocarcinoma.

[Title] Trends in incidence of oesophageal and stomach cancer subtypes in Europe.

OBJECTIVE: Time trend studies in the USA have shown that the incidences of adenocarcinomas of the oesophagus and gastric cardia have risen strongly since the 1970s, whereas the incidence of squamous cell carcinomas of the oesophagus has declined.

The main goal of this study was to investigate more recent trends in the incidence of oesophageal and stomach cancer subtypes in the European countries.

METHODS: Eurocim cancer incidence data of 23 cancer registries from 13 European countries were used to investigate the incidence trends in oesophageal and stomach cancer subtypes during the 1983-1997 period.

RESULTS: The incidence of adenocarcinomas of the oesophagus and gastric cardia rose in most, but not all, registration areas (EAPCs were usually 1-7%), the strongest in the UK and Ireland.

CONCLUSION: Our results are partly in line with earlier findings on adenocarcinomas of the oesophagus and gastric cardia.

METHODS: Using PCR based restriction fragment length polymorphism and single strand conformational polymorphism, we determined single nucleotide exchanges in the p16 and cyclin D1 genes among 56 esophageal adenocarcinomas (ADC) arising in Barrett's esophagus, 95 cardiac gastric ADC, and in 191 distal gastric ADC.

RESULTS: The C/G genotype of p16 was identified in 10.4% of esophageal carcinomas, 13.3% of cardiac carcinomas, and in 14.1% of gastric carcinomas, compared to 17.4% in the healthy control group.

In distal gastric carcinoma, both homozygous genotypes (G/G and A/A) had a frequency of 15.2% each, while the heterozygous A/G genotype occurred in 69.6% of patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that frequencies of p16 or cyclin D1 polymorphisms in gastric and esophageal ADC do not differ significantly from the healthy control group.

[Title] Helicobacter pylori, pepsinogen, and gastric adenocarcinoma in Hawaii.

BACKGROUND: The objective was to investigate the association of Helicobacter pylori and serum pepsinogen (PG) levels with gastric adenocarcinoma.

RESULTS: Subjects with low PG I levels or low PG I/II ratios were at increased risk for cardia and noncardia gastric cancer, whereas those with H. pylori or CagA seropositivity had an elevated risk for noncardia cancer only.

CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that persons with both H. pylori or CagA seropositivity and a low PG I level or PG I/II ratio are highly susceptible to development of noncardia gastric cancer.

[Title] Adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus and gastric cardia: male preponderance in association with obesity.

Recent evidence links obesity with the rising incidence of oesophageal adenocarcinoma.

In Ireland between 1995 and 2004 the incidence of oesophageal adenocarcinoma increased by 38%, and this coincided with a 67% increase in the prevalence of obesity.

In this study, a prospective case-control study was undertaken in 760 patients presenting to a tertiary centre between 1994 and 2004 diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus, gastric cardia or stomach.

Based on pre-illness BMI, 82% of patients who developed adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus were either overweight or obese compared with 59% of the healthy control population (P<0.001).

A dose-dependent relationship existed between BMI and oesophageal adenocarcinoma in males.

Using common cut-off points for BMI, the OR of adenocarcinoma of the lower oesophagus was 11.3 times higher (95% CI: 3.5-36.4) for individuals with a BMI >30 kg/m2 versus individuals with a BMI <22 kg/m2 (P<0.001 for trend).

For adenocarcinoma of the gastric cardia, males in the top quartile of BMI had an OR of 3.5 (95% CI: 1.3-9.4) compared with the lowest quartile (P=0.03 for trend).

The odds ratio for adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus, the oesophago-gastric junction and gastric cardia rose significantly with increasing BMI.

[Title] Asia-Pacific consensus guidelines on gastric cancer prevention.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Gastric cancer is a major health burden in the Asia-Pacific region but consensus on prevention strategies has been lacking.

We aimed to critically evaluate strategies for preventing gastric cancer.

RESULTS: Helicobacter pylori infection is a necessary but not sufficient causal factor for non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma.

A high intake of salt is strongly associated with gastric cancer.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are protective but the use of vitamins and other dietary supplements does not prevent gastric cancer.

Host-bacterial interaction in H. pylori infection results in different patterns of gastritis and differences in gastric acid secretion which determine disease outcome.

A positive family history of gastric cancer is an important risk factor.

Low serum pepsinogens reflect gastric atrophy and may be useful as a marker to identify populations at high risk for gastric cancer. H. pylori screening and treatment is a recommended gastric cancer risk reduction strategy in high-risk populations. H. pylori screening and treatment is most effective before atrophic gastritis has developed.

It does not exclude the existing practice of gastric cancer surveillance in high-risk populations.

In populations at low risk for gastric cancer, H. pylori screening is not recommended.

CONCLUSION: A strategy of H. pylori screening and eradication in high-risk populations will probably reduce gastric cancer incidence, and based on current evidence is recommended by consensus.

[Title] Clear cell (glycogen rich) gastric adenocarcinoma: a distinct tubulo-papillary variant with a predilection for the cardia/gastro-oesophageal region.

AIMS: To explore the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical profile of clear cell gastric cancers with a tubulo-papillary pattern.

METHODS: Twelve cases of clear cell gastric cancer (containing a minimum of 10% of clear cells) were studied.

Ten cases were located in the gastric cardia with extension into the gastro-oesophageal junction and two were in the pylorus/pre-pyloric area.

CONCLUSION: Clear cell gastric cancers have a predilection for the gastro-oesophageal junction, are polypoid, have a tubulopapillary pattern, and show over-expression of cyclin D1 but normal E-cadherin.

[Title] Retinol-binding protein, acute phase reactants and Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma.

AIM: To determine the serum levels of c-reactive protein (CRP), transferrin (TRF), a2-macroglobulin (A2M), ceruloplasmin (CER), a1-acid glycoprotein (AAG), pre-albumin (P-ALB) and retinol-binding protein (RBP) in gastric carcinoma patients and to explore their possible correlation with underlying Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection.

METHODS: We measured the serum levels of CRP, TRF, A2M, CER, AAG, P-ALB, and RBP in 153 preoperative patients (93 males; mean age: 63.1+/-11.3 years) with non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma and 19 healthy subjects.

Retinol-binding protein seems to discriminate between infected and non-infected patients with gastric carcinoma.

[Title] Epidemiology of gastric cancer in Jos University Teaching Hospital Jos a 20 year review of cases.

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer believed to be rare in the past in Africa, is now one of the leading cancer morbidity and mortality.

It is now known gastric cancer is 2-3 times higher in males than females living in the same environment.

We aim to describe the comprehensive histological characteristics of gastric cancer with age and sex distribution.

The study materials were obtained from all stained specimens of gastric cancer recorded in the histopathology laboratory of the teaching hospital between 1985 to 2004.

These were divided into the following groups: Cardia, body and an thrum/pyloric regions respectively.

RESULTS: There were a total of 205 gastric cancer histological confirmed, out of 5705 malignant tumours recorded in the same period.

The highest frequencies of gastric cancers were located in the anthral and cardia regions which accounted for 79% of all the tumours.

Well differentiated adenocarcinoma (intestinal type) was the most frequent histological subtypes 51.2%), this was followed by poorly and diffusely infiltrating carcinoma.

The study has also demonstrated H pylori at the background of intestinal type adenocarcinoma which was seen in the body and an thrum.

CONCLUSION: The study has shown that gastric cancer is not only common but it occur more males than females.

Therefore eradication of H pylori might reduce the prevalence of gastric carcinoma.
