Oesophago-gastric Cancer Centre Addenbrooke’s Hospital Papworth Hospital Date: 14 February 2005 File: PI 122 Page 1 of 3 Frequently asked questions about cancer of the stomach You have recently had some tests that tell us that you have a cancer in your stomach . We hope this information will help answer some of your questions – if you have any concerns and worries, please do not hesitate to ask us. We want you to understand what is happening so you can make informed decisions about what we do next for you. Where is the stomach and what does it do? The stomach is a J-shaped ‘bag’, which acts as a temporary storage area for any food and drink that you eat. It lies just below the diaphragm in your abdomen (tummy) and is next to your liver, gall bladder, spleen and pancreas. From above it, in the chest, the oesophagus (gullet) squeezes food and drink into the stomach . In ...

The 5-year survival rate remains poor for this type of cancer , and only two survival-influencing factors, the depth of invasion and the presence of regional lymph node involvement, are commonly used in prognosis. 1, 2 ...

National Cancer Institute SEER Program 112 STOMACH S tomach 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 ...

Abstract. CDX2, a transcriptional factor expressed in the intestine, is implicated in the development and maintenance of the intestinal mucosa. Recent studies have demonstrated that CDX2 is expressed in the intestinal metaplasia of the stomach and intestinal-type gastric cancer , while it is not expressed in the normal gastric mucosa. To investigate the role of CDX2 in gastric cancer , we determined CDX2 expression and cell proliferation rate in various types of gastric cancer tissues by immunostaining. Surgically dissected gastric cancer tissues were collected from 40 patients. Consistent with previous reports, CDX2 was expressed in most gastric mucosa samples with intestinal metaplasia (89%, 16/18), although it was not found in the adjacent normal mucosa. CDX2 expression was also detected in 64% (18/28) of intestinal- type gastric cancer cases, whereas it was not observed in the diffuse-type ...

Black males had a much higher average annual age-adjusted incidence rate (16.7), compared to the other three sex/race groups.

Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, Vol 3, 2002 167 Stomach Cancer Risk Factors in a Chinese Community Asian Pacific J Cancer Prev, 3 , 167-172 RESEARCH COMMUNICATION Introduction Incidence and mortality rates of gastric cancer in Asia remain the highest in the world (Parkin et al., 1997). In Linzhou, gastric cancer is the second most common cancer in terms of both incidence and mortality. Linzhou City (formerly LinXian County) is situated in the northwest of Henan province in the Taihang mountain area, China. Linzhou is arural area with a total population of 1.06 million, 90% of who work in agriculture. The climate is dry with little rainfall and the main crops are wheat, maize and other cereals. According to the Linzhou Cancer Registry, the annual average age-standardised (world standard population) incidence of stomach cancer in the period ...

Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, Vol 3, 2002 47 Pattern and Time Trends of Stomach Cancer in Asia Asian Pacific J Cancer Prev, 3 , 47-54 RESEARCH COMMUNICATION Background Among cancer occurrence throughout the world, about 10% of all new cases and 12% of all deaths is due to stomach cancer, (Parkin et al., 1999; Pisani et al., 1999), this neoplasm being the second most frequent cause of death in both sexes, (Murray & Lopez, 1997; Pisani et al., 1999). In North America and European countries, a significant decline in stomach cancer has been observed due to a decrease in exposure to risk factors, (Ayiomamitis, 1988; Coleman et al., 1993; Devesa et al., 1987; Dockerty et al., 1991; Hansson et al., 1991; Laheij et al., 1999; Swerdlow et al., 1998; Valerianova et al., 1994). Per each 5-year period from 1973- 88, for all ages of both sexes, stomach ...

Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention, Vol 6, 2005 387 Allium Vegetables and Stomach Cancer Risk in China Asian Pacific J Cancer Prev, 6 , 387-395 RESEARCH COMMUNICATION Abstract Although the incidence of stomach cancer has been declining, it remains the second leading cause of cancerdeath worldwide. Potential protective effects of allium vegetables against cancerhave been reported by a few epidemiologic studies in Chinese populations, but the sample sizes of these studies wererelatively small. Weexamined the associations between allium vegetable consumption and stomach cancerin a large population-based case-control study in Shanghai (750 cases and 750 age- and gender-matched controls) and Qingdao (128 cases and 128 age- and gender-matched controls). Epidemiological data were collected by a standard questionnaire, and odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence ...

Stomach cancer – some possible causes Stomach cancer is more common in developing nations, while becoming less common in Western countries including Australia. At present, stomach cancer is still the fourth most common cause of death from cancer. There appear to be two types of gastric cancer. One type of gastric cancer is associated with infection by the Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) bacterium. The H. pylori germ commonly lives in the lining of the stomach in up to four out of 10 adults. It is now known to be responsible for most duodenal ulcers and over two thirds of stomach ulcers. It also triggers symptoms like indigestion. H. pylori is always associated with superficial gastritis and, sometimes, with chronic atrophic gastritis, which can lead to the development of stomach cancer. However, only a minority of people infected with this bacterium ever develop gastric ...
