Gastric Adenocarcinoma& H. Pylori • A review • britni Hebert • 8.11.09
Introduction • Gastric Adenocarcinoma • types and oncogenesis • H. pylori • relationship • practice recommendations
gastric adenocarcinoma • two distinct types: • Intestinal Type • Diffuse Type
Intestinal type • progresses through defined precancerous stages • nonatrophic gastritis • atrophic gastritis • metaplasia • dysplasia • invasive adenocarcinoma
intestinal type • pathology • differentiated • glands/tubules • Oncogenes: • +: K-ras, C-met • -: TP53, tp73 , APC, TFF, DCC, FHIT • advancing edge
DIffuse Type • more aggressive, poorer prognosis • no known precancerous stage
diffuse type • pathology • invasive • signet ring • linitis plastica • e-cadherin loss • genetic factors
Helicobacter Pylori • spiral shaped gram negative bacteria • most common chronic bacterial infection • worldwide ~ 50% infected • USA ~ 50% greater than 60 yo
Overlap • strong correlation b/t seroposivity and cancer • contributes to both intestinal and diffuse types, as well as MAltoma
pathogenesis • Incompletely understood • inducible Nitric Oxide synthase (iNOS) • oncogene correlation • Caga and vaca s1 and m1 strains • Response to treatment
Practice guidelinesgastric cancer • screening of high risk populations • EGD for suspicious symptoms • biopsy Ulcers and uninvolved mucosa • EGD for test of cure at 8-12 weeks
high risk populations? • Japan • Venezuela • Chile
symptoms? • refractory dyspepsia/PUD • weight loss • ida • Board classics • virchow’s node • sister mary joseph node • krukenberg tumor • Blumer’s shelf • leather flask on barium swallow
practice guidelines h pylori • test and treat : • <55 w dyspepsia • pud • h/o pud • absence of red flags: • bleeding, anemia, early satiety, weight loss, +FH, odyn-/dysphagia
practice guidelinesh pylori treatment • triple therapy x 10-14 days • PPI • Amoxicillin • clarithromycin • test of cure at 4 weeks
