Stomach cancer

Gastrointestinal cancers, including liver cancer, colorectal cancer, and stomach cancer, are the most common cancers in the world as well as in Vietnam, posing a leading threat to human health. The cost of treating these cancers is a major problem that burdens not only patients but also healthcare systems. The study aims to analyze treatment costs for the four most common types of gastrointestinal cancer nowadays.

Depression and anxiety are common problems of cancer patients. They affect importantly the patients’ health, the decision to be treated, and the outcome of the treatment. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of depression and anxiety among cancer patients being treated at Hue University Hospital in 2019 and to reveal its correlation factors.

Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), which accounts for approximately 95% of gastric cancer types, is a malignancy cancer with high morbidity and mortality. Tumor angiogenesis plays important roles in the progression and pathogenesis of STAD, in which long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been verified to be crucial for angiogenesis.

Survival times differ among patients with advanced gastric carcinoma. A precise and universal prognostic evaluation strategy has not yet been established. The current study aimed to construct a prognostic scoring model for mortality risk stratification in patients with advanced gastric carcinoma.

In this study, 180 gastric biopsies were taken from patients of Hai Duong Provincial General Hospital who had come to the hospital to be treated for gastritis during the period January 2015 to July 2015. All of the subjects were 18-80 years old; they had chronic gastritis, a stomach ulcer or gastric cancer; they did not use antibiotics for 30 days prior to our endoscopy.

Mucins are large glycoproteins protecting mucosal surfaces throughout the body. Their expressions are tissue-specific, but in disease states such as cys-tic fibrosis, inflammation and cancer, this specificity can be disturbed. MUC5AC is normally expressed in the mucous cells of the epithelia lining the stomach and the trachea, where it constitutes a major component of the gastric and respiratory mucus.

Gastric Adenocarcinoma: Treatment Complete surgical removal of the tumor with resection of adjacent lymph nodes offers the only chance for cure. However, this is possible in less than a third of patients. A subtotal gastrectomy is the treatment of choice for patients with distal carcinomas, while total or near-total gastrectomies are required for more proximal tumors. The inclusion of extended lymph node dissection in these procedures appears to confer an added risk for complications without enhancing survival.

Tumors of the Stomach Gastric Adenocarcinoma Incidence and Epidemiology For unclear reasons, the incidence and mortality rates for gastric cancer have decreased markedly during the past 75 years. The mortality rate from gastric cancer in the United States has dropped in men from 28 to 5.8 per 100,000 persons, while in women the rate has decreased from 27 to 2.8 per 100,000. Nonetheless, 21,260 new cases of stomach cancer were diagnosed in the United States, and 11,210 Americans died of the disease in 2007.

Imatinib has also demonstrated targeted activity in other diseases, including gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), rare mesenchymal tumors of the GI tract (stomach and small intestine). The pathogenic molecular event for most patients with this disease is mutation of the proto-oncogene c-Kit, leading to the constitutive activation of this receptor tyrosine kinase without the binding of its physiologic ligand, stem cell factor. About 10% of GISTs encode activating mutations of the PDGFRα instead of c-Kit.

Eosinophilia Eosinophilia is the presence of 500 eosinophils per µL of blood and is common in many settings besides parasite infection. Significant tissue eosinophilia can occur without an elevated blood count. A common cause of eosinophilia is allergic reaction to drugs (iodides, aspirin, sulfonamides, nitrofurantoin, penicillins, and cephalosporins). Allergies such as hay fever, asthma, eczema, serum sickness, allergic vasculitis, and pemphigus are associated with eosinophilia. Eosinophilia also occurs in collagen vascular diseases (e.g.
