Introduction: The global incidence of gastric cancer (GC) has been decreased dramatically in recent decades and characteristics of this cancer has been changed. Most of these changes can be resulted from changes in dietary and nutritional habits. This cancer is the most common cancer in north and northeast of Iran. In present report we will briefly summaries the gastric tumor location in a popu...

Recent estimates of global cancer statistics have ranked stomach cancer behind only lung cancer in the number of new cases and deaths worldwide (1). Incidence and mortality rates for stomach cancer in the United States and developed countries of Europe have decreased steadily for many years, while the rates still remain considerably higher in many developing countries (2–5). In the face of the ...

Background: Proximal gastrectomy is a rarely performed procedure but feasible option in benign tumors and malignant neoplasms the proximal third of stomach since novel options reconstructions are available nowadays with fewer long-term sequels. Methods: Report three cases gastric gastrointestinal stromal (GIST), description its presentation, histological characteristics, follow-up after being t...

abstractintroduction: hyperplastic polyps of the esophago-gastric junction are seen during endoscopic evaluation of upper gastrointestinal tract. they are usually asymptomatic and discovered accidentally during endoscopic evaluation for other problems. these protrusions are mucosal regenerative response to surrounding mucosal injury. case: here we present a 9-year-old boy presenting with abdomi...

Helicobacter pylori-associated gastric carcinoma is generally more common in the antrum/body and is of the intestinal type. The aim of this study was to determine the pattern of gastric carcinoma in an area known to have a low prevalence of H. pylori. Pathology records of gastric carcinoma diagnosed at Hospital University Sains Malaysia between 1995 and 1999 were retrieved and studied. There we...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Over the past few decades, the incidence of adenocarcinomas of the gastroesophageal junction has rapidly increased. Barrett's esophagus is a risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma, but the role of intestinal metaplasia of the gastric cardia as a precursor in cardia-related cancer is controversial. The aims of the present study were to examine the prevalence of intestinal me...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Intestinal metaplasia (IM) at the cardia is likely to be a precursor of cardia cancer. Previous work has shown that it is associated with chronic inflammation attributable to either gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) or Helicobacter pylori infection. An alternative aetiological factor is bile reflux. Duodenogastric reflux brings about histological changes in the gastri...

BACKGROUND Reports of dramatic increases in gastric cardia cancer incidence warrant concern. However, the recent introduction of a separate diagnostic code, the lack of a consensus definition of the cardia area, and the accelerating interest in cardia cancer may affect classification practices. Little is known about the magnitude of cardia cancer misclassification in large cancer registries. ...

There is much evidence that regurgitated gastric juice may injure the oesophagus, destroying the surface layers and causing inflammation in surviving tissues. The lesion referred to variously as peptic, digestion, or reflux oesophagitis is common and may be serious, even fatal, in its immediate or late effects or both. The pathology of the disease will be discussed in a later communication. The...
