Gastric superficial neoplasia: high miss rate but slow progression
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Gastric superficial neoplasia (GSN) is often overlooked at endoscopy because of difficulty in identifying it. The miss rate of GSN at endoscopy and the impact on clinical outcome of the missed GSN have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated these issues. METHODS Among 1462 endoscopically and pathologically diagnosed gastric cancers in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2014, previous records of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) were available for 198 lesions (index lesions) and were reviewed retrospectively. Among those, 157 lesions, which were diagnosed as GSN on the basis of their EGD findings at initial endoscopy, were analyzed. Progression was defined as advanced cancer in the index lesion. RESULTS Among the 157 GSNs, 118 (75.2 %) had not been recorded in the previous EGD report but were evident upon review of endoscopic photographs for this study. Progression to advanced cancer was observed in only 13 (8.3 %) of the 157 GSNs during a mean interval of 41 months and as long as 96 months, and the rate of progression was similar in missed and not-missed lesions (8.5 % and 7.7 %, respectively). Cumulative incidence rates of progression of missed GSNs to advanced cancer were 0.8 %, 1.7 %, 4.2 %, and 7.6 % at 36, 48, 60, and 72 months after the initial EGD, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our findings illustrate that GSNs are often missed at endoscopy but progress slowly in most cases. Even though the rate of progression to cancer is relatively low, rigorous attempts should be made to reduce the miss rate of GSNs at EGD.

Gastric precancerous process in a high risk population: cohort follow-up.
In an attempt to characterize the natural history of the gastric precancerous process, 1422 residents of a high risk area of Nariño, Columbia, have been followed from 3-16 years (average 5.1) with repeated gastric biopsies, for a total of 7290 person-years. The original cohort consisted of 1788 individuals yielding a successful completion rate of 79.5%. Comparison of initial and subsequent biop...

The term gastric adenoma means a benign lesion of the glandular epithelium having variable degrees of cellular atypia and showing papillary or tubular structures. Because long-term follow-up studies of gastric adenomas reveal malignant transformations, it is well known they are premalignant. Since these lesions lie histologically and clinically on the borderline of between whether they are beni...
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori but not high salt induces gastric intraepithelial neoplasia in B6129 mice.
Helicobacter pylori is responsible for most human stomach cancers. Gastric cancer also is overrepresented in populations consuming high-salt diets. Attempts to test the hypothesis that high salt promotes H. pylori carcinogenesis have been hindered by the lack of a wild-type mouse model. Based on pilot observations of unexpectedly early gastric adenocarcinoma in C57BL/6 x 129S6/SvEv (B6129) mice...
