Background: As there is a lack of data on stomach cancer disease in Asia, the aim of the present study was to examine patterns and time trends for this neoplasm in Asian countries. Methods: A descriptive study was designed to examine the cancer pattern and time trend and to calculate the annual change in mortality and incidence of stomach cancer at 5-year intervals. Data were derived from the W...

Cystatin C is a member of the cysteine protease inhibitor family and functions to decrease protease production. A recent study showed that it is aberrantly expressed in many malignant tumors in association with tumor invasion and metastasis. Our study aimed to detect Cystatin C expression in stomach neoplasm tissues and adjacent reparative normal tissues. Samples of cancerous and non-cancerous ...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor is rare digestive tract mesenchymal tumor, most often in the wall of the stomach. It is a benign neoplasm, but it can become malignant if not treated. We report a case of gastrointestinal stromal tumor that was discovered after abdominal ultrasonography during staging of a patient with primary cutaneous amelanotic melanoma. Mutation in the tyrosine kinase receptor...

Gastritis cystica polyposis (GCP) is a rare benign hyperplastic polypoid neoplasm that usually occurs on the gastric side of anastomoses in patients who have previously undergone gastroenterostomy surgery. Only few cases GCP been reported unoperated stomach. Here we present 73-year-old female investigation for altered bowel habits was found to polyp diagnosed as GCP. Both endoscopic and radiolo...

BACKGROUND Metastases to the stomach from an extra-gastric neoplasm are an unusual event, identified in less than 2% of cancer patients at autopsy. The stomach may be involved by hematogenous spread from a distant primary (most commonly breast, melanoma or lung), or by contiguous spread from an adjacent malignancy, such as the pancreas, esophagus and gallbladder. These latter sites may also inv...

INTRODUCTION MALT lymphoma accounts for 7-8% of all B-cell lymphomas and at least 50% of primary gastric lymphoma, with the highest incidence at between 50 and 60 years of age. Aggressive forms are rare, as are indications for multi-visceral resection. CASE STUDY A patient, 33 years old, was admitted to the tertiary hospital due to a biopsy at a small community hospital confirming adenocarcin...

Aim: In this research, it was aimed to evaluate relationship of deaths caused by malignant neoplasm stomach with healthy life expectancy (HALE) : a time-based longitudinal analysis on the ICD-10 mortality list.
 Material and Method: World Health Organization (WHO) data WHO-HALE at birth HALE 60 ages for 14 countries between 1996-2017 were used. Spearman’s rho, year controlled partial corre...

In collaboration with three pathology departments a case-control study was conducted in the southern part of the Netherlands to investigate the risk of gastric cancer in coal miners. Between 1 January 1973 and 31 December 1983, 323 male patients were diagnosed as having a malignant neoplasm of the stomach. For each case a control was selected from the same pathology department, matched on year ...

The concept of damage control surgery was first introduced in the 1990s. It has great significance treatment for critically ill patients, which not only greatly improves survival rate, but also helps doctors avoiding misdiagnosis and mistreatment. Herein, we present a case gastric perforation caused by neoplasm with critical condition patient. According to surgery, patient subjected repair tumo...

Gastric stromal tumors form a group of uncommon neoplasms originating from pluripotent mesenchymal cells. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors can be located in the upper, middle or lower third of the stomach. Many patients are asymptomatic or present with bleeding, pain, palpable mass and weight loss. We present herein a 74-year-old female patient who complained of chronic abdominal discomfort. Gas...
