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...

Although positive associations have been found for diabetes and a number of cancer sites, investigations of stomach cancer are limited and the results lack consistency. In this prospective study we investigated the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and stomach cancer risk in mainland China. We assessed the associations among T2DM, T2DM duration, and stomach cancer risk in two...

We carried out a case-control study is to investigate the relationship between iodine deficiency and stomach cancer. We compared the ratio of urinary iodine to urinary creatinine in 100 patients diagnosed with stomach cancer and 84 people in a control group. Mean urinary iodine levels were lower in the patients with stomach cancer, 61.9 microg/g creatinine, compared to 101.7 microg/g creatinine...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to provide a detailed report on cancer incidence in Turkey, a relatively large country with a population of 72 million. We present the estimates of the cancer burden in Turkey for 2006, calculated using data from the eight population based cancer registries which have been set up in selected provinces representative of sociodemographic patterns in their regi...

Estradici and progesterone receptors were assayed in tumors from 79 patients with primary colorectal and 56 patients with stomach adenocarcinomas. Eighteen of 79 colorectal cancers contained estradiol receptor, while 34 specimens were positive for progesterone receptor. In stomach cancer, the positive sam ples were 8 for estradiol and 14 for progesterone receptors. In both types of tumors, the ...

By using laser-induced Raman spectrum technology, we researched the spectrum characteristic of normal human, atrophic gastritis and stomach cancer. Three sharp peaks (A, B and C) can characterize all spectra except esophagus cancer. The intensity of each peak was different in different spectrum. And we differentiated the spectrum of these three cases. A notable difference is that the relative i...

background: cancer registries are important infrastructure for cancer control programs. however most developing countries lack population based cancer registry. in iran there cancer incidence is estimated based on pathology-based cancer registry. in this study we evaluated results of the nationwide pathology-based cancer registry in iran. materials and methods: we compared age-standardized inci...
