conclusions this study suggests that the vaca pcr can be very useful in diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of patients with gastritis and pud. the pcr assay and clo test can complement and confirm each other in identification and eradication of cancer-related strains of h. pylori. the exclusion of patients with suspected achlorhydria from the study is likely a reason for the lack of false posi...

The incidence rate of gastric cancer in western countries has shown a remarkable decline in recent years while it is still the most common cancer among men in Iran. Ardabil, a North Western province, was found to have the highest rate of GC in Iran and one of the highest gastric cardia cancer rates in the world. We used the most recent data from Ardabil cancer registry to update on the incidenc...

BACKGROUND CDH1 is a protein encoded by the CDH1 gene in humans. Loss of CDH1 function contributes to cancer progression by increasing proliferation, invasion, and/or metastasis. However, the association and clinicopathological significance between CDH1 hypermethylation and gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. In this study, we systematically reviewed the studies of CDH1 hypermethylation and GC...

Shi M et al. XB130 promotes proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells. J Transl Med 2014;12:1 In addition to enhancing the survival, proliferation and metastasis of thyroid cancer cells the adaptor protein XB130 may also be implicated in gastric cancer (GC). This study investigated the effects of XB130 on GC in vitro and in vivo. Silencing XB130 significantly reduced GC cell proliferat...

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most prominent global cancer-related health threats. Genes play a key role in the precise mechanisms of gastric cancer. SNPs in mi-RNAs could affect mRNA expression and then affect the risk and prognosis of GC. Firstly, we have decided to perform a case-control study which included 897 GC patients and 992 controls to evaluate the association of miR-219-1 rs2132...

We aimed to characterize microbiota of the gastric mucosa as it progress to intestinal type of cancer. Study included five patients each of non-atrophic gastritis (NAG), intestinal metaplasia (IM) and intestinal-type gastric cancer (GC). Gastric tissue was obtained and DNA extracted for microbiota analyses using the microarray G3 PhyloChip. Bacterial diversity ranged from 8 to 57, and steadily ...

Gastric cancer (GC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in China. It is well known that Cixian in Hebei Province is one of the highest risk areas of GC in China and worldwide. This study aims to accurate assessment of GC burden and trend in high-risk area (Hebei Province) from 1973 to 2013. The authors analyzed GC data from 21 population-based cancer registries which represented 15.25% ...

SNPs in the Prostate Stem Cell Antigen (PSCA) gene have been found associated with gastric cancer (GC) risk in a genome-wide association study. This association has been replicated in several populations. In this study we assessed the impact of PSCA genotype on the risk of advanced gastric precancerous lesions and GC. We used baseline gastric histopathology data and DNA from frozen gastric biop...

BACKGROUND As a common malignant tumor, gastric carcinoma requires early diagnosis to improve treatment efficacy. MicroRNA (miR) molecules have highly conserved nucleotide sequences and can negatively regulate target gene expression at the translational level. miR-421 has been suggested to be related with gastric cancer occurrence. The gene polymorphism of miR-421, however, has not been reporte...

Objective: We aimed to reveal possible relationships between pre-operative RDW values and clinicopathological features of gastric cancer (GC) evaluate its predictive impact on progression prognosis GC. 
 Material And Method: A total 92 patients who underwent curative surgery were retrospectively included the study. GC divided into two groups: high-RDW group (>14.5%, n=58) low-RDW (
