    Extractions: 23 March 2000 JOHN WHITFIELD Stomach cancer is the second most common form of cancer. People that carry the bacterium Helicobacter pylori in their stomachs half the world's population are between 3 and 6 times more likely to develop it. In this week's Nature , Emad M. El-Omar, of the US National Cancer Institute, Maryland, and colleagues show that the risk of stomach cancer also depends on the genetic make-up of H. pylori 's human host. H. pylori If, instead, the upper part of the stomach becomes inflamed, acid secretion is reduced and the stomach's function impaired. It is this that, in a small percentage of H. pylori carriers, can lead to cancer. Patients get ulcers or cancer, but not both. To see why, El-Omar and colleagues studied 149 healthy relatives of stomach-cancer patients in the west of Scotland. Of the 103 infected with H. pylori

The research, published in the Dec. 10 issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, In the study, So and his colleagues at Stanford and the University of Hong Kong searched for genes that make either more or less protein in stomach tumors than in surrounding stomach tissue. These genes, which have different expression patterns in tumors, have led to novel treatments in some cancers, such as the drug Herceptin for treating breast tumors that produce a particular protein.

    Extractions: The risk of stomach cancer has decreased steadily in all of the Nordic countries in the period 1958 to 1997, and is estimated to decrease with further 25-30% until the year 2020. In Norway about 400 males and 250 females get stomach cancer each year. Only a modest decrease is expected in the future because the risk increases with age, and the Norwegian population will have an increase of the older age groups during the next 20 years. Infection with the Helicobacter pylori bacteria increases the risk of stomach cancer. About 60% of all cases of stomach cancer is likely attributed to this bacteria. The decrease in stomach cancer incidence is also related to changes in dietary habits, and intake of fruits and vegetables are supposed to have a protecting effect on stomach cancer.

    Extractions: How to help prevent stomach cancer Who's at risk? Each year, about 24,000 people in the United States learn they have cancer of the stomach. Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, is the fourth most common cancer today, although it is not nearly as common in this country as it was 60 years ago. Dietary changes and the greater use of refrigeration for food storage are credited for the lower incidence of stomach cancer. Scientists don't know why some people develop stomach cancer and others don't. But they do know that some people are more likely than others to develop it. For instance, stomach cancer occurs mostly in men over 40, and is more likely to occur in black people than in white people. There are other factors that can increase the risk of getting stomach cancer: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) . Some studies suggest that a type of bacteria, Helicobacter pylori, which lives in the stomach lining, is a major cause of stomach cancer. It is found in 20% of people age 40 and under and 50% of those who are 60 or over. H. pylori bacteria often cause peptic ulcers. However, stomach ulcers do not appear to raise a person's risk of developing stomach cancer. People with H. pylori infection have three to eight times greater risk of developing gastric cancer than those not infected, although most never develop stomach cancer. Diet . A diet high in preserved foods - such as those that are smoked, dried, salted or pickled - that contain nitrates and nitrites are linked to stomach cancer. These substances can be converted inside your stomach into compounds that increase your risk of stomach cancer. Researchers have also found that people who have diets rich in meat, cheese, and whole milk may be at increased risk of developing cancer in both the esophagus and stomach.

    Extractions: Definition Stomach cancer (also known as gastric cancer) is a disease in which the cells forming the inner lining of the stomach become abnormal and start to divide uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor. Description The stomach is a J-shaped organ that lies in the left and central portion of the abdomen. The stomach produces many digestive juices and acids that mix with food and aid in the process of digestion. There are five regions of the stomach that doctors refer to when determining the origin of stomach cancer. These are: Cancer can develop in any of the five sections of the stomach. Symptoms and outcomes of the disease will vary depending on the location of the cancer. Based on previous data from the National Cancer Institute and the United States Census, the American Cancer Society estimates that 21,700 Americans will be diagnosed with stomach cancer during 2001 and approximately 13,000 deaths will result from the disease. In most areas, men are affected by stomach cancer nearly twice as often as women. Most cases of stomach cancer are diagnosed between the ages of 50 and 70, but in families with a hereditary risk of stomach cancer, younger cases are more frequently seen.

38. Stomach Cancer
    What is stomach cancer? stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, developswhen cancer cells are found in any part of the five layers of the stomach.

    Extractions: var OPENNODE = '1000,1004,1009,1010,3014,'; var CURRNODE = 3014 init( "setID( CURRNODE );" ); Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, develops when cancer cells are found in any part of the five layers of the stomach. The cancer may extend through the stomach wall to nearby lymph nodes and to other organs, such as the liver, spleen, pancreas, and colon. Most stomach cancers begin in the mucosathe innermost layer of the stomach where the stomach acid and digestive juices are made. As the cancer progresses outward through the layers, the prognosis gets worse. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 21,600 new cases of stomach cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2002. Many of those cases are in the Stage Four category. Stomach cancer occurs most often in people in their 60s and 70s. Types of Stomach Cancer Most stomach cancers90 to 95 percentare classified as adenocarcinomas (cancers that develop from cells that line the walls of many different organs of the body). Other types of stomach cancer include squamous cell carcinoma, lymphoma, and stromal tumors (cancer of the muscle or connecting tissue). A rare gastrointestinal cancer, carcinoid tumors, develops when malignant cells are found in certain hormone-making cells of the digestive (gastrointestinal) system, or in the inner lining of this system.

39. Treatment
    Treatment. Treatment of stomach cancer depends on the tumor's location,how far the tumor has spread, and the health of the patient.

    Extractions: var OPENNODE = '1000,1004,1009,1010,3014,3016,'; var CURRNODE = 3016 init( "setID( CURRNODE );" ); Treatment of stomach cancer depends on the tumor's location, how far the tumor has spread, and the health of the patient. Currently, there are three primary options: surgery (taking out the cancer in an operation), radiation therapy (using high-energy rays to kill cancer cells), and/or chemotherapy (using drugs to kill cancer cells). Surgery This is the only way to possibly cure stomach cancer. Even when the cancer has spread beyond the stomach, and a cure is impossible, surgery may give the patient relief by helping to prevent bleeding from the tumor or helping to prevent the stomach from being blocked. Surgery for stomach cancer is best performed by a specialized surgeon who may remove either some or all of the stomach using one of these two procedures: Subtotal (or Partial) Gastrectomy Removal of the part of the stomach that contains cancer, and parts of other tissues or organs that may be involved, such as the esophagus, or the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). Total Gastrectomy Removal of the entire stomach and parts of the esophagus, small intestine, and other tissues near the tumor. After the stomach is removed, a surgeon will connect the remaining part of the stomach to the esophagus or to the small intestine. The surgeon will try to leave behind as much healthy stomach as possible, or try to make a new stomach out of intestinal tissue. Regardless, once a total gastrectomy is performed, the patient will only be able to eat a small amount of food.
