Although there is a controversy, several reports have shown that gastric cardia cancer has tended upwards in recent years. The aim of this study was to investigate the changing trend of stomach cancer according to the location of cancer and histologic type in Korea, where is known to be one of the most prevalent areas for gastric cancer. All the patients newly diagnosed as gastric cancer from 1...

The paper presents a clinical case of successful treatment for fourth-grade achalasia cardia using video laparoscopic esophagocardiomyotomy with esophagocardiogastroplasty according to T.A. Suvorova. surgery involves peculiar process – the triangular-folded anterior wall stomach is sutured edges formed defect in muscular layer esophagus and cardia. In early late postoperative period, patients d...

Tumors of the gastric cardia are among the most technically difficult lesions to remove by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic outcomes of ESD in gastric cardia tumors according to clinicopathologic characteristics, and to assess the predictive factors for incomplete resection. We conducted a retrospective observational study of 82 patients with ...

INTRODUCTION Atrophic gastritis is a risk factor for non-cardia gastric cancer, and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) for oesophageal adenocarcinoma. The role of atrophic gastritis and GORD in the aetiology of adenocarcinoma of the cardia remains unclear. We have investigated the association between adenocarcinoma of the different regions of the upper gastrointestinal tract and atrophic ...

Resume. The aim of the study: improving efficiency surgical treatment for patients with hiatal hernia (HH) and HERD reflux esophagitis through development a step-by-step method aimed at saving anatomical topographic solutions physiological cardia.
 Materials methods. In 2017-2021, 78 HH were examined treated Department Digestive Surgery Institute Gastroenterology National Academy Medical S...

Gastric cardia cancer (GCC) is a highly aggressive disease associated with chronic inflammation. To investigate the relationship between DNA damage response (DDR) and chronic inflammation, we collected 100 non-tumor gastric cardia specimens of Chaoshan littoral, a high-risk region for esophageal and gastric cardia cancer. A significantly higher proportion of severe chronic inflammation was foun...

Objectives. Gastric adenocarcinomas localized to the cardia are increasing. Enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells play a role in gastric carcinogenesis in hypergastrinemia, and the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) leading to hypergastrinemia has increased considerably during the last decades. We have examined cardia cancers for neuroendocrine and ECL cell differentiation. Methods. Thirty-two car...

Recent estimates of global cancer statistics have ranked stomach cancer behind only lung cancer in the number of new cases and deaths worldwide (1). Incidence and mortality rates for stomach cancer in the United States and developed countries of Europe have decreased steadily for many years, while the rates still remain considerably higher in many developing countries (2–5). In the face of the ...

BACKGROUND The incidence of gastric cancer in the Northern city, Hanoi is higher than in the Southern city, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. We previously reported that Helicobacter pylori vacA m1 genotype might be responsible for the difference between the two cities, however, the study only included non-cancer patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the non-cardia gastric cancer characteristic...
