Cancer, which is the second most common cause of death in many developed countries and the third one in some developing countries, is an important global public health concern (Bener et al., 2008; Herszenyi and Tulassay, 2010). According to GLOBOCAN estimates, cancer led to about 14.1 million of new cases and about 8.2 million deaths in 2012. Stomach cancer, with roughly 950,000 new cases and 7...

BACKGROUND In spite of the dramatic decline in the incidence of stomach cancer in the twentieth century, Poland has one of the highest rates in the world. AIMS To evaluate the risk of stomach cancer by grouped occupations and industries, as well as by some specific occupational exposures. METHODS Cases (n = 443) were newly diagnosed with stomach adenocarcinomas between 1994 and 1996. Contro...

Metastatic tumors of the stomach are rare. Although neoplasms from almost every tissue have been reported to metastasize to the stomach, lung cancer is a rare cause. We report the case of 46-years-old man presented with superior Vena Cava syndrome. Histopathological diagnosis was non-small cell lung cancer with computed tomography-guided needle biopsy of lung. Since gastric symptoms occurred du...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate whether stage at cancer diagnosis differed according to patient economic status. METHODS A total of 10,528 patients with cancer of the stomach, colorectum, breast, or cervix, which are target organs of the Korean National Cancer Screening Program (NCSP; fully implemented in 2005) were extracted from population-based cancer registries. The patie...

Objective(s): Gastric cancer is the first and second leading cause of cancer related death in Iranian men and women, respectively. Gastric cancer management is based on the surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In the present study, for the first time, the beneficial effect of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) aqueous extract (SAE) on the 1-Methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced gastric c...

BACKGROUND In the Bagnardi et al. (2001) meta-analysis, it was found that alcohol consumption increases the risk of stomach cancer (OR = 1.32 for heavy drinkers). However, it is unknown if drinking cessation reverses this alcohol-elevated risk. METHODS A systematic literature review was performed to provide the information for a meta-analysis where the dose-risk trend was estimated for years ...

Abstract Background Patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and cancer are at higher risk of adverse outcomes (mortality, recurrent VTE etc.) versus patients alone; as such, clinical guidelines recommend anticoagulant treatment for cancer. There is limited real world data about how thromboembolic differ by tumor type in Understanding such differences may help identify appropriate specific ty...

Gastric cancer is a very serious disease and is naturally resistant to many anticancer drugs. To reduce the mortality and improve the effectiveness of therapy, many studies have tried to find key biomarkers. Proteomic technologies are providing the tools needed to discover and identify disease-associating biomarkers. The proteomic study of gastric cancer establishes any specific events that lea...

Frequent consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains has been associated with a reduced risk of stomach cancer in the majority of case-control studies of these factors: however, prospective studies have been less consistent. We examined the association between selected major food groups (citrus fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and processed meats) and risk of fatal stomach cancer in th...
