Helicobacter pylori and gastric cancer: correlation with gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and tumour histology.

چکیده
This study aimed to examine the association between Helicobacter pylori, histological gastritis, and intestinal metaplasia in gastric cancers of different histological types. A total of 169 gastrectomy specimens received in one pathology department were studied. Altogether 156 were adenocarcinomas (intestinal type 87, diffuse type 50, mixed type 19). Gastritis occurred in 137 of 163 body specimens (84%) and in 126 of 131 antral specimens (96%). Its presence was unrelated to tumour histology. Atrophic gastritis was more common in both body and antral mucosa in intestinal type compared with diffuse type carcinoma. This was also true for intestinal metaplasia of the body, but not of the antral mucosa. H pylori was present in 101 of 163 (62%) body specimens and 56 of 131 (43%) antral specimens. In intestinal type carcinoma, H pylori was found in 52/84 (62%) body specimens and in 24/70 (34%) antral specimens, while the corresponding figures for diffuse type carcinoma were 29/48 (60%) and 17/38 (45%) respectively. Tumour histology therefore had no influence on the occurrence of H pylori. Tumour site had no effect on the presence or absence of gastritis, atrophic changes, intestinal metaplasia, or H pylori. While both H pylori and gastritis are associated with gastric cancer, the association is unrelated to tumour histology and may not be a causal one.

AIMS To identify differences in the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in different groups of patients with gastric cancer. METHODS In total 224 cases of gastric cancer were studied: 120 (53.6%) intestinal; 69 (30.8%) diffuse; and 35 (15.6%) unclassified. Site of tumour, presence and severity of gastritis, presence and extent of intestinal metaplasia, and age and sex were also record...
متن کاملSHORT REPORT Features of gastritis predisposing to gastric adenoma and early gastric cancer
Background/Aims: Helicobacter pylori gastritis is a risk factor for the development of gastric cancer. The results of several studies indicate that gastric adenomas, which are considered premalignant lesions, may also be associated with H pylori gastritis. However, it is not clear whether there are different patterns of gastritis in these patients compared with patients with gastric cancer or p...

Chronic Helicobacter pylori gastritis has been put forward as a risk factor for development of gastric mucosal atrophy and gastric cancer. The purpose of our study was to investigate the long-term effects of H pylori gastritis on the gastric mucosa. We prospectively studied 49 subjects negative for H pylori and 58 positive subjects for a mean follow-up of 11.5 years (range 10-13 years). Serum s...
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori-Induced Signaling Pathways Contribute to Intestinal Metaplasia and Gastric Carcinogenesis
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) induces chronic gastric inflammation, atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and cancer. Although the risk of gastric cancer increases exponentially with the extent of atrophic gastritis, the precise mechanisms of gastric carcinogenesis have not been fully elucidated. H. pylori induces genetic and epigenetic changes in gastric epithelial cells through activat...
