Limited value of type III intestinal metaplasia in predicting risk of gastric carcinoma.

چکیده
Endoscopic gastric biopsy specimens taken in 1976 from 174 patients were reviewed. Biopsy specimens from 44 patients showed intestinal metaplasia, and subtyping by mucin histochemistry showed that 16 were of type I, 14 of type II, and 14 of type III. Only two of these 174 patients developed gastric adenocarcinoma over the next 10 to 11 years: one with type II and one with type III intestinal metaplasia. Case notes of a separate group of 68 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma diagnosed in 1985 were reviewed for evidence of intestinal metaplasia in a previous gastric biopsy. Only two patients had previously been biopsied; one of these biopsy specimens showed type II intestinal metaplasia and the other showed no intestinal metaplasia. These findings suggest that subtyping of intestinal metaplasia in endoscopic gastric biopsy specimens is of only limited value in identifying patients at risk of gastric adenocarcinoma who require long term follow up.

ABSTRACT Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common cancers in the world. Despite some improvement in the treatment of this type of cancer, the 5-year survival rate has been already remained low. Therefore further exploration of biological features and causes of gastric cancer is needed to reduce its occurrence. In sequential changes from superficial gastritis to dysplasia and cance...
متن کاملIncomplete sulphomucin-secreting intestinal metaplasia for gastric cancer. Preliminary data from a prospective study from three centres.
A joint prospective long term study of gastric biopsies has been undertaken to survey intestinal metaplasia Types I, II, and III in terms of their incidence, distribution and value in the selection of high risk cancer patients. This study is based on protocols agreed between three centres for endoscopy, histological interpretation, and mucin histochemistry. The results on the first 1350 gastric...
متن کاملp53 mutations and microsatellite instabilities in the subtype of intestinal metaplasia of the stomach.
To investigate the potential implication of the subtype of intestinal metaplasia in the progression to the gastric carcinoma, we analyzed the mutations of the p53 gene and microsatellite instability (MSI) both in the complete type (type I) and in the sulphomucin-secreting incomplete type (type III) intestinal metaplasia located adjacent to the gastric carcinoma. p53 mutations were observed in 1...
متن کاملSubtypes of intestinal metaplasia and Helicobacter pylori.
To determine whether there is a relationship between the presence of H pylori and the various subtypes of intestinal metaplasia in the gastric antrum, 2274 antral gastroscopic biopsies from 533 patients were examined. H pylori was found in 289 patients. Intestinal metaplasia in general was found in 135 patients. Type I intestinal metaplasia was found in 133 patients (98.5%), type II in 106 pati...

Background—It has been suggested that the subtyping of intestinal metaplasia in the stomach is useful in stratifying patients with regard to risk of developing gastric cancer. Aim—To determine whether subtyping intestinal metaplasia provided useful information regarding the natural history of intestinal metaplasia. Methods—The study used large cup gastric biopsy specimens from predetermined loc...
