Early gastric cancer is defined as adenocarcinoma confined to the mucosa or submucosa irrespective of lymph node involvement. In Japan, mucosal high-grade neoplasia is diagnosed as intramucosal early gastric cancer….
Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the world and is a leading cause of cancer death. Surgical treatment remains the best treatment option for potential cure…
Chemoprevention may form the cornerstone in the management of gastric adenocarcinoma of the future. Helicobacter pylori eradication and aspirin and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug therapy have emerged as front-runner chemotherapeutic agents…
Helicobacter pylori infection induces chronic inflammation and is the strongest known risk factor for gastric cancer. The genomes of H pylori are highly diverse and therefore bacterial virulence factors play…
Gastric cancers are a histologically heterogenous group of neoplasms arising from unique epidemiologic and molecular backgrounds. There is accumulating evidence that the intestinal type of gastric adenocarcinoma develops through a…
Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer can be caused by epithelial cadherin mutations for which genetic testing is available. Inherited cancer predisposition syndromes including Lynch, Li-Fraumeni, and Peutz-Jeghers syndromes, can be associated…
Gastric cancer is one of the major malignancies in the world. This article summarizes the current understanding of the worldwide burden of this disease, its geographic variation, and temporal trends….
This review provides a state of the art description of gastric cancer etiology, the infectious agent, host factors, the precancerous cascade, clinical aspects, and prevention strategies. The biology of Helicobacter…
Gastrointestinal endoscopy is a rapidly evolving field. Techniques in endoscopy continue to become more sophisticated, as do the devices and platforms, particularly in colonoscopy and endoscopic resection. This article reviews…
Colonoscopy is a relatively invasive modality for the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal disease and for the prevention or early detection of colorectal neoplasia. Millions of colonoscopies are performed each…
