background: early detection is a key to survival for gastric cancer. molecular markers such as mirna (microrna) can have great importance in the early diagnosis of gastric cancer. expression of mir-21 and mir-221 are deregulated in many types of human cancers. this study aimed to investigate the differences in mirna expression patterns within the iranian population. methods: total rna was extra...

this is a case report of foreign body ingestion in a suicide attempt resulting in gastric perforation and phlegmon formation during a subsequent 6 month period that eventually required surgical intervention. the patient had a prolonged course because she did not report a history of foreign body ingestion and the initial evaluating physicians had no suspicion about possible foreign body ingestio...

background and aims: stomach cancer is one of the most common cancers and the second cause of deaths among cancers worldwide cancer in the world. this study aimed to estimate the rate and trend of death from stomach cancer in iranian population between 2006 and 2010. methods: this study was a cross-sectional conducted using mortality data in iranian population between 2006 and 2010. the number ...

Cystic lesions of the pancreas are increasingly recognized. While some lesions show benign behaviour (serous cystic neoplasm), others have an unequivocal malignant potential (mucinous cystic neoplasm, branch- and main duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and solid pseudo-papillary neoplasm). European expert pancreatologists provide updated recommendations: diagnostic computerized tomogr...

The role in which electronic endoscopy plays is important in EMR. It is useful in diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer from a clinical viewpoint. EMR with use of electronic endoscopy allows better coordination between the operator and assistants, and thus improves the results further.

We report the draft genome sequence of Acinetobacter sp. strain VT-511, which was obtained from the stomach of a patient with gastric cancer. The genome of Acinetobacter sp. VT-511 is composed of approximately 3,416,321 bp and includes 3,214 predicted protein-coding genes.

The potential role of coffee consumption in the development of various types of cancer has been extensively investigated in epidemiologic studies. How coffee consumption may modulate risk of gastric cancer, however, remains a subject open for investigation. To better quantify this relation, we quantitatively summarized evidence from prospective studies. Eligible studies were identified on PubMe...

A case of gastric cancer occurring seven years after a highly selective vagotomy is described. This operation may not be the appropriate choice for the surgical treatment of gastric ulcers and H2 blockers should be used with caution in these patients.

Golestan province is located in north of Iran, in the south east of Caspian Sea. Stomach cancer data were identified and collected through the 18 Pathology Laboratory centers, where male populations are referred. Using a structured questionnaire, trained personnel conducted in-person interviews to collect information on stomach cancer. Newly diagnosed cases which were detected by histologic or ...

Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer globally with over 70% of new cases occurring in developing countries. In Morocco, oncologists in Marrakech suspected higher frequency of gastric cancer compared to Casablanca, a city 150 kilometers away. This study calculated age-specific, sex-specific, and total incidence rates of gastric cancer in Marrakech and was compared to the Casablanca pop...
