Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) enzyme metabolically activates a large number of low molecular mass xenobiotics probably involved in gastric cancer incidence through activation of procarcinogens. North of Iran is amongst high incidence rate areas of gastric carcinoma where environmental carcinogenic compounds, including agricultural pesticides, are massively used. In this report, we quantitatively...

gastric cancer (gc) is the second most common cancer in the world and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. methylation of promoter cpg islands (cgis) belonging to tumor suppressor genes causes transcriptional silencing of their corresponding genes leading to carcinogenesis and other disorders. adenomatous polyposis coli (apc) a tumor suppressor gene is inactivated by methylation of prom...

Gastric cancer is one of the deadliest malignant tumors, and recent studies have confirmed clinical efficacy acupuncture in treatment gastric cancer, which has been recognized widely carried out practice both at home abroad, while less research conducted on mechanism cancer. By reviewing anti-gastric effects years, we categorized summarized from regulating intestinal flora, body immunity, tumor...

oxidative stress is known to be one of the major factors involved in the development and progression of cancer. oxidative stress can occur due to an imbalance between concentrations of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant capacities. catalase (cat; omim 115500) and superoxide dismutase 1 (sod1; omim 147450) play important roles in the primary defense against oxidative stress. in the present ...

INTRODUCTION Gastric cancer notoriously recurs post curative surgical resection. While there may be visceral metastasis to peritoneal surfaces, bone marrow involvement may also occur although with rarity. We present a case report of recurrent gastric cancer with bone marrow metastasis in a patient with no evidence of systemic disease on follow-up for two years post surgical resection. This case...

BACKGROUND Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) extracted from blood has become a clinically feasible biomarker in various types of cancer. However, the clinical significance of cfDNA in gastrointestinal (GI) tract cancer among Asian populations requires further investigation. RESULTS The median cfDNA copy number was highest in esophageal cancer, followed by colorectal cancer and gastric cancer, which were ...

background: north of iran is amongst high incidence rate areas of gastric carcinoma where environmental carcinogenic compounds especially agricultural pesticides are massively used. cytochrome p450 2e1 (cyp2e1) enzyme metabolically activates a large number of low molecular mass xenobiotics. the polymorphic nature of cyp2e1 gene control elements is associated with interindividual differences for...

In Japan, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is becoming a standard treatment for intramucosal differentiated gastric cancer. Although ESD is associated with a high cure rate for patients with early gastric cancer, tumors may recur, albeit rarely. We performed ESD on an 80-year-old man with a small depressed type of gastric cancer of the posterior wall of the cardia, found to be locally inv...
