Metaplasia in the Stomach—Precursor of Gastric Cancer?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite a significant decrease in the incidence of gastric cancer in Western countries over the past century, gastric cancer is still one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Most human gastric cancers develop after long-term Helicobacter pylori infection via the Correa pathway: the progression is from gastritis, atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia, to cancer. However, it remains unclear whether metaplasia is a direct precursor of gastric cancer or merely a marker of high cancer risk. Here, we review human studies on the relationship between metaplasia and cancer in the stomach, data from mouse models of metaplasia regarding the mechanism of metaplasia development, and the cellular responses induced by H. pylori infection.

Claudin-4, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4, and stratifin are markers of gastric adenocarcinoma precursor lesions.
Approximately 23,000 new gastric cancer cases and 12,000 associated deaths occur annually in the United States. Intestinal metaplasia and gastric epithelial dysplasia are precursor lesions to gastric adenocarcinoma, but are not readily detectable clinically, radiographically, or endoscopically. A noninvasive method of precursor detection would require the ability to distinguish precursor lesion...
متن کاملLauwers-Early gastric neoplasms
Despite a marked decline in incidence in the West and some decrease in the East, gastric cancer remains a significant cause of morbidity and cancer related deaths worldwide. The prevalence of gastric cancer is closely related to prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and shows wide geographic variation. Subsequent chronic gastritis, atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia are lesions that confe...
متن کاملGenetic Mechanisms and Aberrant Gene Expression during the Development of Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia and Adenocarcinoma
Gastric adenocarcinoma occurs via a sequence of molecular events known as the Correa's Cascade which often progresses over many years. Gastritis, typically caused by infection with the bacterium H. pylori, is the first step of the cascade that results in gastric cancer; however, not all cases of gastritis progress along this carcinogenic route. Despite recent antibiotic intervention of H. pylor...

ABSTRACT Helicobacter pylori has a centeral role in the pathogensis of chronic Active gastritis. Infection usually occures during childhood and last for a lifetime. Infectious is a worldwide phenomen but its prevalence is varied. Chronic (Atrophic) gastritis and intestinal metaplasia was accepted as a precursor of intestinal type gastric Carcinoma. Now more searches in the world doing ab...
متن کاملCirculating microRNA-196a is an early gastric cancer biomarker
MicroRNA-196a (miRNA-196a) is associated with the development of gastric cancer and metastasis. Intestinal metaplasia and low- or high-grade dysplasia are considered to be precursors of intestinal type gastric cancer. Accordingly, we investigated the expression of plasma miRNA-196a as an early detection biomarker in precancerous gastric lesions and early cancer (pT1a/b), which is otherwise trea...
