Intervention trial to prevent gastric cancer and its precursors in Linqu Wei-cheng you Peking University School of Oncology Beijing Cancer Hospital Beijing Institute for Cancer Research
◆ Cancer is the first or second leading cause of death worldwide, and 6,700,000 people die of cancer in 2002 ◆In China, 2,200,000 new cancer cases, and 1,600,000 people die of cancer in 2002 ◆ Cost: 78billions USD per year in USA, and 80 billions RMB in China Background
Age-adjusted incidence rate of cancer in China (/100,000) IARC 2002
A little improvement in overall cancer treatment in the past two decades Poor quality life of cancer patients Family and social burdens Economic high cost Current problems
What can we do ? Cancer prevention is better than treatment. Cancer prevention is the most effective means of reducing the incidence and mortality of cancer. 21st Century - Cancer Prevention and Quality of Life
Our goals in cancer control: Lower incidence ratesLower mortality rates Better care & quality of lifeBasic Research, Clinical Management, and Prevention Strategy development
◆The second leading cancer worldwide ◆360,000 people die of GC in China ◆A heavy burden for the family and society ◆Effective prevention is not available Gastric Cancer (GC)
◆Biological factors: H.pylori infection ◆Diet and Nutrition: salted food, grain moldy, low vitamin C level ◆Alcohol ◆Cigarette Smoking ◆Genetics: gene polymorphisms ◆Others: possible risk factors The Causes of Gastric Cancer
Eradication Intestinal Metaplasia Atrophic Gastritis Dysplasia Carcinoma H. pylori associated gastric carcinogenesis Chronic Gastritis
H. pylori infection and gastric cancer Helicobacter & Cancer Collaboration Group. GUT 2001
◆ H.pylori accounts for 40-60% of gastric cancers ◆ 1994, International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified H.pylori as a class I carcinogen.
Gastric cancer control strategy in China ◆Tobacco control ◆H.pylori infection control ◆Early detection ◆Health life-style and dietproject
◆A rural area of Shandong Province ◆One of the highest GC mortality rates ( 70/105 males and 25/105 females ) ◆Major GC is Intestinal-type Linqu County
The high-risk area is a unique resource in China Advances: ◆Provided direct evidence from human ◆Stable population ◆Representative Epidemiologicalstudy in a high-risk area

In 1995, 3365 subjects were randomly assigned to receive three interventions or placebos, including an antibiotic treatment of H. pylori. Interventiontrial in Linqu (1)(1995-2003)
Interventions Two-week treatment for H. pylori infection Omeprazole 20mg + Amoxicillin 1g Bid Daily nutritional supplementation VC 250mg + VE 100Iu + Selenium 37.5ug Bid Garlic preparation 400mg Bid

H. pylori infection and over-expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) areassociated with gastric cancer and its precursors. We evaluated the effect of H. pylori eradication and use of celecoxib aschemoprevention for precursors of gastric lesions. Interventiontrial in Linqu (2) (2002-2006)
Interventions One-week treatment for H. pylori infection Omeprazole 20mg, bid Amoxicillin 1g, bid Clarithromycin 500mg, bid Celecoxibfor 2 years200mg, bid
Changes of COX-2 expression and evolution of precancerous gastric lesions by different interventions
Ann Intern Med 2009;151:121-128 Eradication of H. pylori and gastric cancer
Questions ? Because the end point of our two trials was to assess the effect of H. pylori treatment on the precancerous gastriclesions, and the previous five intervention trials yielded mixed results on gastric cancer.It remains for the large trial to demonstrate that H. pylori treatment reduces gastric cancer incidence rate.
A large interventiontrial in Linqu (2009-2015) Peking University School of Oncology International Digestive Cancer Alliance Technische Universität München
Study Design Participants: 200,000 ( aged 25-54 years ) Villages: 500 Intervention: Eradication of H. pylori End point: Reduction 30% of GC
Benefit for eradication of H. pylori If eradication of H. pylori could reduce 30% of GC (120,000 new GCs), it can save 800 millions USD per year in China according to incidence of GC.

To seek a therapy with a high efficacy, low-toxicity and easy administration. A pilot study in Linqu The quadruple therapy regimens Bismuth potassium citrate300 mg (bid) Metronidazole 500mg (tid)Tetracycline 750 mg (tid)Omeprazole 20 mg (bid)
Further Objectives ◆To study biomarkers and mechanisms of gastric cancer and its precursors ◆A workshop will be held from June 10-13 in Beijing, and more than 30 scientists will be there. ◆Funding will be raised from Government and Industries worldwide.
