introduction and aims: both observational and experimental studies have shown that higher selenium status reduces the risk of upper gastrointestinal cancers in selenium deficient populations. recent cancer registry data have shown very different rates of esophageal cancer (ec) and gastric cancer (gc) in four provinces of iran, namely ardabil, mazandaran, golestan, and kerman. the aim of this st...

introduction: the objective of the present study is to investigate the relationship between the familial history of digestive system cancers and development of gastric cancer. methods: in this case-control study conducted in 2012, 84 patients with a definite diagnosis of gastric cancer, diagnosed using endoscopy and pathological study of biopsies, were compared with 84 people with the same age ...

BACKGROUND The aims of the present study were to compare staging between the old (6th edition) and new (7th edition) TNM classifications, and to evaluate the prognostic impact of extended lymph node dissection according to the new nodal staging in advanced gastric cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 609 patients with advanced gastric cancer who had undergone curative gastric resection com...

AIM To investigate whether the recommendation to remove 15 lymph nodes that is used in the staging system is necessary to assess gastric cancer progression and to evaluate whether our metastatic lymph node ratio dividing method, adapted from the AJCC's (American Joint Committee on Cancer) 7(th) TNM staging system, is helpful for the patients with fewer than 15 harvested lymph nodes. METHODS W...

PURPOSE Clinical stage of gastric cancer is currently assessed by computed tomography. Accurate clinical staging is important for the tailoring of therapy. This study evaluated the accuracy of clinical N staging using stomach protocol computed tomography. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between March 2004 and November 2012, 171 patients with gastric cancer underwent preoperative stomach protocol comput...

INTRODUCTION Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer and the second leading cause of death from cancer. Only complete resection of all gross disease with negative microscopic margins (R0 resection) provides a long-term survival benefit, and the overall 5-year relative survival rate is approximately 20%. To improve survival and quality of life, new therapeutic approaches have been introd...
