About PDQ Description What is cancer of the stomach? Cancer of the stomach, also called gastric cancer, is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the tissues of the stomach. The stomach is a J-shaped organ in the upper abdomen where the food is broken down (digested). Food reaches the stomach through a tube called the esophagus that connects the mouth to the stomach. After leaving the stomach, partially digested food passes into the small intestine and then into the large intestine called the colon. Sometimes cancer can be in the stomach for a long time and can grow very large before it causes symptoms. In the early stages of cancer of the stomach, a patient may have: Indigestion and stomach discomfort A bloated feeling after eating Mild nausea Loss of appetite Heartburn In more advanced stages of cancer of the stomach, the patient may have: Blood in the stool Vomiting Weight loss Pain in the stomach The chance of getting stomach cancer is higher if the patient has had an infection of the stomach caused by Helicobacter pylori, or if the patient is older, is a man, smokes cigarettes, or frequently eats a diet that includes lots of dry, salted foods. Other factors that increase the chances of getting stomach cancer are a stomach disorder called atrophic gastritis or Menetrier's disease, a disorder of the blood called pernicious anemia, or a hereditary condition of growths (called polyps) in the large intestine.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Several different types of cancer can occur in the stomach. The most common type is called adenocarcinoma, which refers to the way the cancer looks under the microscope. There are several types of adenocarcinoma. Other types of gastric cancer occur much less frequently so this article is focused on adenocarcinoma of the stomach. Adenocarcinoma of the stomach is a common cancer of the digestive tract worldwide, although it is relatively uncommon in the US. It occurs most frequently in men over 40 years old. The incidence of this form of gastric cancer is extremely high in Japan, Chile, and Iceland. The incidence of most types of gastric adenocarcinoma in the US has declined over the years. Experts propose that the decrease may be related to reduced intake of salted, cured, and smoked foods and increased vitamin C consumption.

HELICOBACTER PYLORI AND GASTRIC CANCER F.O'CONNOR, M. BUCKLEY, C. O'MORAIN Department of Gastroenterology, Meath/Adelaide Hospitals and Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. Introduction Helicobacter pylori is one of the most significant discoveries in gastroenterology in the past century. It is associated with a wide spectrum of gastroduodenal pathology ranging from asymptomatic gastritis to gastric cancer. The international Agency for Research on Cancer has recently recognised a cause-and-effect relationship between H. Pylori and gastric adenocarcinoma and classified the bacterium as a Group I (definite) carcinogen (IARC, 1994). The evidence associating the bacterium with this fatal cancer is overwhelming, and will be summarised in this article. Epidemiology The prevalence of H.pylori infection in gastric cancer is difficult to estimate because the bacterium is unable to colonise malignant gastric mucosa and therefore, infection may be lost from individuals with the disease or its precancerous lesions. H. pylori infection may be diagnosed invasively on gastric biopsy samples by histology, culture or rapid urease testing, or non-invasively by immunology or with urea breath test. When testing for H. pylori infection in patients with gastric cancer, by invasive methods, gastric mucosal biopsies should be taken from a site distant from the tumour. The most interesting work to date, is a case-control study from Japan (Kikuchi et al., 1995) in which anti-H. pylori antibodies were measured from serum samples of gastric cancer patients and matched controls (aged 20-69 years). The odds ratio for an association in this study was 4.7 (95% CI). When the subjects were divided into ten-years age groups, the magnitude of the odds ratio was negatively related to the age. Of note, among the subjects between the age group 20-29 years, the odds ratio was 23.1 (95% CI) and the seroprevalence of H. pylori among cases was 90% compared to 28% among controls.

Purposes of this summary Gastric Cancer Screening ... About PDQ Overview of Screening What is screening? Screening for cancer is examination (or testing) of people for early stages in the development of cancer even though they have no symptoms. Scientists have studied patterns of cancer in the population to learn which people are more likely to get certain types of cancer. They have also studied what things around us and what personal habits may cause cancer. This information sometimes helps doctors recommend who should be screened for certain types of cancer, what types of screening tests people should have, and how often these tests should be done. Not all screening tests are helpful, and most have risks such as tearing (perforation) of the lining of the stomach during gastroscopy. For this reason, scientists at the National Cancer Institute are studying many screening tests to find out how useful they are and to determine the relative benefits and harms. If your doctor suggests certain cancer screening tests as part of your health care plan, this does not mean he or she thinks you have cancer. Screening tests are done when you have no symptoms. Since decisions about screening can be difficult, you may want to discuss them with your doctor and ask questions about the potential benefits and risks of screening tests and whether they have been proven to decrease the risk of dying from cancer.

Date Last Modified: 08/08/2002 Prevention of Gastric Cancer Overview of Prevention Prevention Purposes of this summary Gastric Cancer Prevention ... About PDQ Overview of Prevention Prevention Doctors can not always explain why one person gets cancer and another does not. However, scientists have studied general patterns of cancer in the population to learn what things around us and what things we do in our lives may increase our chance of developing cancer. Anything that increases a person's chance of developing a disease is called a risk factor; anything that decreases a person's chance of developing a disease is called a protective factor. Some of the risk factors for cancer can be avoided, but many can not. For example, although you can choose to quit smoking, you can not choose which genes you have inherited from your parents. Both smoking and inheriting specific genes could be considered risk factors for certain kinds of cancer, but only smoking can be avoided. Prevention means avoiding the risk factors and increasing the protective factors that can be controlled so that the chance of developing cancer decreases. Although many risk factors can be avoided, it is important to keep in mind that avoiding risk factors does not guarantee that you will not get cancer. Also, most people with a particular risk factor for cancer do not actually get the disease. Some people are more sensitive than others to factors that can cause cancer. Talk to your doctor about methods of preventing cancer that might be effective for you.

Most cancers of the stomach are adenocarcinomas , a type of cancer that develops in the mucosal cells that form the innermost lining of the stomach. Other types of stomach cancers include lymphomas and sarcomas . Stomach cancer can be hard to detect early. Often there are no symptoms in the early stages and, in many cases, the cancer has spread before it is found. As the disease progresses, the cancer may invade the stomach wall and/or metastasize (spread to other parts of the body). How many people get gastric cancer? Although the rate of stomach cancer in this country has declined substantially, it is still the seventh most frequent cause of cancer mortality. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2003, about 22,400 new cases will be diagnosed in the United States, and 12,100 people will die of the disease. Most people diagnosed with stomach cancer are in their 60s and 70s. What causes gastric cancer?

EMR is indicated for patients with small mucosal cancer with no lymph node metastases. The authors' database suggests that intestinal-type mucosal cancer less than 2 cm in diameter has no lymph node metastases. En bloc resection is preferable because of the possible risk of residual cancer remaining after EMR, and 2 cm is the technical upper limit of en-bloc resection. Accurate assessment of the depth of wall invasion, histological type, and size of tumor is mandatory before the selection of EMR. Fragmented , or piece-meal resection is allowed as a clinical trial is planned so as to allow complete reconstruction of piece-meal specimens. Mucosal cancer that does not meet the above conditions should be treated by MG A. Gastrectomy of less than two-thirds of the stomach with dissection of D1 and n 7 (+ 8a) lymph nodes is designated as MGA and modified gastrectomy with dissection of D1 and n 7, 8a and 9 lymph nodes is designated as MG B.

In 1984 participants completed questionnaires, which were delivered to and collected from their homes, on their health habits (e.g. diet, alcohol consumption, smoking), frequency of green tea consumption and family history of disease. They were followed for nine years. Green tea consumption was divided into four categories: less than one cup a day; one or two cups a day; three or four cups a day; and five or more cups a day. In the region studied, a typical cup contains 100 ml of tea.

Comment Bandolier is interested in better ways of making diagnoses, and in particular looks for systematic reviews of diagnostic tests. We can be reasonably comfortable about ways of assessing the evidence for treatment trials, knowing about sources of bias from failure to randomise or to blind trials.

Others are more interested in the route we travel (how do we know if it works, could we be wrong in our conclusions?). So all the better when one finds an exceptional piece of work which satisfies both these appetites. A systematic review of the use of cervico-vaginal foetal fibronectin from Dundee [1] is one of the best examples of a diagnostic test review Bandolier has seen to date. It's one of those papers we wish had our name on. Anyone interested in doing a systematic review of a diagnostic test should read this paper.

st omed spring meeting It is my great pleasure to welcome you all to the first OMED Spring Meeting which will be held in conjunction with the 5th International Gastric Cancer Congress in Rome. An intensive range of endoscopic topics on gastric cancer, such as screening, diagnosis and treatment of early gastric cancer, has been lined up to enhance the value of the program. I believe that this meeting will provide a good opportunity to exchange information and results on the latest development of research in gastric cancer and in the field of Digestive Endoscopy. Diagnosis of precancerous and early lesions of gastric cancer is, in particular, one of the world's hottest topics, as well as are the combined endoscopic-laparoscopic treatments of gastric cancer. It is also expected that presentations and discussion on the role of ecoendoscopy for the diagnosis of depth of cancer invasion will give an update on this procedure. I am sure that we will have at this meeting very meaningful presentations and discussions on these essential topics. Your active participation and cooperation are kindly requested.
