background: cancer is the second most common cause of non-accidental death in iran. geographical, racial and habitual differences have led to the variation in the incidence of cancer in different regions of this country. this study was performed to determine the incidence of cancer in the kerman province, central iran. methods: all newly diagnosed cases of cancer in the kerman province were rec...

The clinical significance of osteonectin in human stomach cancer was examined immunohistochemically and molecular biologically in 31 differentiated and eight undifferentiated stomach adenocarcinomas and 19 non-cancer stomach tissues. Osteonectin-mAb-stained cells were observed in stroma of 90% differentiated and 63% undifferentiated adenocarcinomas, and of 26% non-cancer stomach tissues. Compet...

The endoscopic features of early gastric cancer(EGC) arising from the upper third stomach(upper body, fundus, and cardia) hasnot been well studied. If EGC inthe stomach can be predicted to have invaded mucosal(M) or submucosal(SM) layer, surgical treatment determined. This study evaluated in as asrisk factors for SM invasion. We retrospectively reviewed patients' medical records a single tertia...

background: a growing body of preclinical data indicates that statins may possess antineoplastic properties however, some studies have raised the possibility that statins may also have carcinogenic potential. methods: an air pouch model was used for angiogenesis. single or multiple applications of croton oil on the back of swiss albino mice with or without initiation by dimethylbenz(a)antherace...

A cross-sectional study to determine correlations between measurable biologic markers and mortality from stomach cancer was performed in various areas of Japan. Blood and urine were collected from randomly selected 40- to 49-year-old men and their spouses in four areas with different rates of mortality from stomach cancer. The samples were analyzed for levels of the micronutrients vitamins A, C...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS IL-is important in gastric damage, mucosal repair and gastric cancer progression. We analysed IL-11 expression in H.pylori infected mouse stomach, the site of gastric IL-11 expression in mice and humans, and the effect of exogenous IL-11 on gastric mucosal homeostasis. METHODS IL-11 protein was localised in mouse and human stomach. The impact of chronic, exogenous IL-11 on...

CONTEXT Depression in cancer survivors affects the rest of their lives in many ways. OBJECTIVES To estimate the prevalence of depression and identify associated factors in disease-free stomach cancer survivors. METHODS We enrolled 391 stomach cancer survivors who had been disease-free for at least one year after surgery from the cancer registries of two hospitals in Korea. Stomach cancer su...

AIM The incidence of stomach cancer in Mizoram is highest in India. We have conducted a population based matched case-control study to identify environmental and genetic risk factors in this geographical area. METHODS A total of 102 histologically confirmed stomach cancer cases and 204 matched healthy population controls were recruited. GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes were determined by PCR and H. ...

Stomach cancer is the second most common cancer in Eastern Asia, accounting for approximately 50% of all new cases of stomach cancer worldwide. Our objective was to compare the stomach cancer incidence rates of Asian Americans in Los Angeles with those of native Asians to assess the etiology of stomach cancer from 1988 to 2011. To examine these differences, Asian Americans (Korean, Japanese, Ch...
