http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/press/2002/may/020528.htm

Extractions: Laboratory Finding Points to Possible Economical Treatment of Infection A bacterium responsible for the vast majority of stomach cancers, a leading cause of cancer death worldwide, and ulcers may have met its match, scientists from Johns Hopkins and the French National Scientific Research Center report in the May 21 online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The research team discovered that sulforaphane, a compound found in broccoli and broccoli sprouts, kills the bacterium in laboratory studies. The findings should lead quickly to clinical trials to see whether dietary intake of vegetables containing sulforaphane can relieve infection, the researchers say. In all but 15 to 20 percent of cases, combinations of powerful antibiotics can kill helicobacter pylori, the bacterium that was recognized 20 years ago as the cause of debilitating stomach ulcers and often fatal stomach cancers. Unfortunately, the regions of the world where the infection is most common are the same places where using antibiotics is most economically and logistically difficult. "In some parts of Central and South America, Africa and Asia, as much as 80 percent to 90 percent of the population is infected with helicobacter, likely linked to poverty and conditions of poor sanitation," says study leader Jed Fahey, a plant physiologist in the Department of Pharmacology and Molecular Sciences at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. "If future clinical studies show that a food can relieve or prevent diseases associated with this bacterium in people, it could have significant public health implications in the United States and around the world."

Extractions: Date: May 14, 2001 Contact: Dan Page ( dpage@support.ucla.edu Phone: Green-tea drinkers suffer chronic gastritis half as often as nondrinkers, according to a new study led by researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health and Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at UCLA. The findings are the first to link green tea to lower rates of chronic gastritis. The study, published in the May edition of the peer-reviewed International Journal of Cancer, also supported previous research showing green-tea drinkers have lower risk of stomach cancer in this case, 48 percent than nondrinkers. In addition, researchers found as frequency and duration of tea drinking increased, the risk of both chronic gastritis and stomach cancer decreased. Chronic gastritis is a common inflammatory disease that causes precancerous lesions of the stomach. The progression from chronic gastritis to stomach cancer is slow. Green tea contains antioxidants that researchers believe may inhibit the development of chronic gastritis and halt the progression of stomach cancer. "This is the first time that green tea drinking was found to protect against chronic gastritis," said principal investigator and lead author Dr. Zuo-Feng Zhang, a professor of epidemiology in the UCLA School of Public Health. "The study suggests that using green tea to treat chronic gastritis and as a preventive therapy in high-risk populations would reduce the incidence of stomach cancer in the long term."

Extractions: Stomach cancer was the most common form of cancer in the world in the 1970s and early 1980s, and is probably now only surpassed by lung cancer. Stomach cancer incidence rates show substantial variation internationally. Rates are highest in Japan and eastern Asia, but other areas of the world have high stomach cancer incidence rates including eastern Europe and parts of Latin America. Incidence rates are generally lower in western Europe and the United States. Stomach cancer incidence and mortality rates have been declining for several decades in most areas of the world. For one subsite of the stomach, the cardia, incidence rates appear to be increasing, particularly among white men. Stomach cancer incidence rates for the racial/ethnic populations in the SEER regions can be grouped broadly into three levels. Those with high age-adjusted incidence rates are Koreans, Vietnamese, Japanese, Alaska Natives and Hawaiians. Those with intermediate incidence rates are white Hispanic, Chinese, and black populations. Filipinos and non-Hispanic whites have substantially lower incidence rates than the other groups. These patterns hold for both men and women when rates are available for both sexes. The incidence rate for Korean men is 1.6 times the rate in Japanese men, the group with the second highest rate, and is 2.4 times the rate in Hawaiians. The range in incidence rates is narrower among the groups in the intermediate level. The incidence rate for Korean men is nearly 5.8 times greater than the rate in Filipino men, the group with the lowest incidence rate. Among women, the highest incidence rate is in the Vietnamese population and is nearly 6.6 times greater than the rate in non-Hispanic whites. The male-to-female ratio of age-adjusted incidence rates is highest for Koreans (2.6) and followed closely by non-Hispanic whites and blacks (2.5 and 2.4, respectively). The ratio is less than two for other racial-ethnic groups. Notably, the incidence rates for Vietnamese men and women are the same.

Extractions: Stomach Cancer More info on this condition Introduction Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, was once one of the more common cancers in the United States and the world. The number of cases of stomach cancer in the United States and Europe has declined significantly in the last 60 years. One reason for this decline may be improvements in food storage methods. Still, the rate of stomach cancer cases continues to be higher outside the United States, especially in Japan, Chile, Costa Rica, Hungary and Poland with dietary and environmental factors blamed as the likely culprits. According to American Cancer Society estimates, 21,500 Americans will be diagnosed and 13,000 patients will die from stomach cancer in 2000. The overall five-year survival rate is 20 percent. Only about 10 to 20 percent of U.S. cases are diagnosed in the early stages, which accounts for the low survival rate.

Extractions: Stomach Cancer More info on this condition The Stomach The stomach is located beneath the ribs in the upper abdomen. It is part of the digestive system, connecting to the esophagus on the top, and leading to the small intestine. When food is eaten, it travels through the esophagus to the stomach, where muscles mix the food by an action called peristalsis. Juices produced by glands in the stomach aid in the digestive process. After a few hours, the food is liquefied and moves to the small intestine. Stomach Cell The vast majority of cancers that originate in the stomachabout 95 percentare adenocarcinomas, which develop from the epithelium, the inner lining of the stomach. Adenocarcinomas fall into two classificationsintestinal or diffuse. Intestinal stomach cancer features large cells that attach to each other to form well-defined tubular structures. In diffuse stomach cancer, the cells are smaller, clustering together to attack the lining of the stomach. These cellular clusters do not have a well-defined border. Diffuse stomach cancer typically strikes younger people. Approximately 5 percent of stomach cancers are gastric lymphomas. Gastric lymphomas develop from the lymphatic system in the stomach. They can sometimes be difficult to differentiate from adenocarcinomas, but making this distinction is crucial in that they behave clinically in a very different fashion. Other forms of stomach cancers include, leiomyosarcoma which develop in the muscle tissue. Other rare forms of stomach cancer are adenoacanthomas, squamous cell carcinomas, lymphomas, small cell carcinomas, carcinoid tumors and Kaposi's sarcoma.

Extractions: Home Treatment Overview Overview Therapy ... Contact Overview Neuroendocrine/carcinoid tumors are rare cancers. About 2,500 tumors are diagnosed each year in the United States. About three-fourths of tumors appear in the digestive system, including the stomach, small bowel, appendix, and rectum. Most of the remaining tumors occur in the lungs. Gastric neuroendocrine/carcinoid tumors originate within certain hormone-making cells of the digestive or gastrointestinal system. Growth of this cancer is slow. There are often no signs of disease. Usually, when symptoms arise, the tumor is already in an advanced stage. Back to Top Therapy Surgery offers the best chance for cure. If the tumor is small and limited to the site of first occurrence, its surgical removal is highly successful. Resection includes the removal of the tumor, plus a margin of normal tissue around the site, to ensure that all the disease is contained. If the tumor has advanced and spread to surrounding tissues and/or nearby lymph nodes, surgery may be performed to provide relief from its symptoms. This may include the removal of an obstructive mass and/or hormone-releasing metastases. For advanced disease that cannot be surgically removed, John Wayne Cancer Institute utilizes state-of-the-art treatments such as radiofrequency ablation and cryosurgery.

Extractions: Linked to the intake of salted, smoked, and pickled foods and infection with the H. pylori bacterium, stomach cancer was the most common form of cancer in the world in the 1970s and early 1980s. Today, although it has been declining in both incidence and mortality for several decades in most areas of the world, stomach cancer remains second only to lung cancer in incidence world-wide. Rates of cancer of the esophagus, by contrast, have risen markedly in the past several decades. The National Cancer Institute has planned a Stomach Cancer/Esophageal Cancer Progress Review Group (PRG) to identify research priorities and resource needs for progress against these cancers. The report was released in December 2002.

Extractions: Scope of the Problem Each year, gastroesophageal cancers account for an estimated 34,700 new cancer cases and 25,000 deaths in the United States. Gastroesophageal cancers are heterogeneous with regard to their molecular and cellular genesis, specific risk factors, and histopathologic character. For this report, the term "gastroesophageal cancers" encompasses three distinct cancers: esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, esophageal (or Barrett's-related) adenocarcinoma, and gastric adenocarcinoma. Although they are distinct entities that originate in the same general anatomic region of the digestive system, these three cancers share some characteristics. Most importantly, they tend to remain clinically silent until late in the disease process; thus, they are often associated with later diagnoses, poorer prognoses, significant morbidities, and high mortality rates. Stomach Cancer. Worldwide, the incidence of stomach cancer is declining, pointing to a critical environmental component in its etiology. Although the specific reason for this decline is unknown, the increased consumption of fruits and vegetables and the decreased intake of salty foods, both at least partially resulting from improved methods in food preservation and storage, are often credited. Despite this encouraging trend, stomach cancer is the fourth most common new cancer diagnosis and the second leading cause of cancer mortality in the world, accounting for an estimated 876,341 new cancer cases and 646,567 deaths worldwide in 2000.

Stomach cancer is actually about one-fourth as common as it was 70 years ago, and about 5 times less common in the United States than in countries such as Japan. These vast differences are partly accounted for by differences in diet, which seems to have an important part in the development or prevention of stomach cancer.

Extractions: Bandolier Bandolier Library search Dietary factors are recognised as playing an important role in the aetiology of stomach cancer: a high intake of nitrates and related compounds and salted foods increase the risk and a high intake of fruit and vegetables decrease the risk. It has been suggested that soyfoods may also be associated with stomach cancer. There are two main categories of soyfoods: non-fermented (e.g. soymilk, tofu and soy beans) and fermented (e.g. soy paste). This meta-analysis examines the relationship between fermented and non-fermented soyfoods and risk of stomach cancer. The associations found, i.e. fermented soyfoods increase risk of stomach cancer and non-fermented soyfoods decrease risk of stomach cancer, may be due to consumption of other foods in the diet, such as salt and fruit and vegetables. Nevertheless, practical advice remains largely independent of further research: eat less salt, more fruit and vegetables and replace some animal protein with vegetable protein. A H Wu et al.

Extractions: November 7, 2000 (Reviewed: February 2, 2003) Introduction Stomach cancer is the second most common type of cancer worldwide. It is a particularly pressing health problem in some developing countries and in some parts of Europe. Despite advances in treatments, the prognosis for those diagnosed with stomach cancer remains grim. On average, only one in five individuals survive five years. Scientists have known for some time that certain foods can increase or decrease the risk of stomach cancer. A study in a recent issue the journal Cancer adds to what is known about the relationship between diet and this deadly disease. The latest analysis Italian researchers identified 382 men and women with stomach cancer who had participated in a cancer-related study in the late 1980s. They gathered information already collected on these peoplemedical history, diet history (a record of usual food intake in the year prior to diagnosis), income level, smoking historyand then kept track of them for the next ten years. The goal was to see what effect, if any, diet had on how long the men and women lived after their disease was diagnosed.
