Multi-Targeting Anticancer Activity of a New 4-Thiazolidinone Derivative with Anti-HER2 Antibodies in Human AGS Gastric Cancer Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24076791. [PMID: 37047765 PMCID: PMC10095353 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24076791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Combining chemotherapy with immunotherapy still remains a regimen in anticancer therapy. Novel 4-thiazolidinone-bearing hybrid molecules possess well-documented anticancer activity, and together with anti-HER2 antibodies, may represent a promising strategy in treating patients with gastric cancer with confirmed human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression. The aim of the study was to synthesize a new 4-thiazolidinone derivative (Les-4367) and investigate its molecular mechanism of action in combination with trastuzumab or pertuzumab in human AGS gastric cancer cells. AGS cell viability and antiproliferative potential were examined. The effect of the tested combinations as well as monotherapy on apoptosis and autophagy was also determined. Metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine concentrations were also demonstrated by the ELISA technique. We proved that pertuzumab and trastuzumab were very effective in increasing the sensitivity of AGS gastric cancer cells to novel Les-4367. The molecular mechanism of action of the tested combination is connected with the induction of apoptosis. Additionally, the anticancer activity is not associated with the autophagy process. Decreased concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines, MMP-2 and ICAM-1-were observed. The novel combination of drugs based on anti-HER2 antibodies with Les-4367 is a promising strategy against AGS gastric cancer cells.

Frequency of Positive Familial Criteria in Patients with Adenocarcinoma of the Esophageal-Gastric Junction and Stomach: First Prospective Data in a Caucasian Cohort. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14153590. [PMID: 35892851 PMCID: PMC9330468 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14153590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Revised: 07/10/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary It is well known for gastric cancer patients with subtype of diffuse histology that a proportion of patients harbour an increased familial risk. Some patients and relatives even may be detected through a genetic testing. More precise studies about the frequency of hereditary criteria in a poplation with only European ancestries for adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction and stomach are missing. In current guidelines regarding genetic testing criteria not all types of stomach cancer are considered as for example patients not with subtype of diffuse histology mostly have no detectable responsible gene. The aim of the current study was to register stomach cancer patients of all different types in a certain region (Berlin, Germany) and to estimate the frequency of positive familial criteria. Patients with esophageal cancer served as comparison group as familial or hereditary background, respectively, is not significant in these patients according to current knowledge. In our study, we identified positive familial criteria in about 15% of stomach cancer patients. In regard to all different types of stomach cancer, this number almost doubled. Furthermore, one third of all registered patients in this study might have a familial or hereditary background of their disease. We therefore conclude that guidelines regarding genetic testing criteria and screening examinations should be adjusted in future. Abstract Objectives: Current prospective studies investigating the frequency of hereditary criteria in a Caucasian population for adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG) and stomach (GC) are missing. Genetic testing criteria (screening criteria) for hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) were updated in 2020, but do not address patients with intestinal histology (familial intestinal gastric cancer FIGC). Thus, we prospectively screened patients residing in Berlin newly diagnosed with AEG or GC for hereditary criteria to gain insights into the frequency of HDGC. Methods: Prospective documentation of familial/clinical parameters in patients residing in Berlin with AEG or GC over three years was conducted. Besides HDGC criteria from 2015 and revised 2020, we also documented patients fulfilling these criteria but with intestinal type gastric cancer (FIGC). Statistical analysis was performed using X2-test. Results: One hundred fifty-three patients were finally included (92 GC; male: 50 (n.s.); 61 AEG; male: 47; p = 0.007). Hereditary criteria for HDGC were detected in 9/92 (9.8%) (2015 criteria) and in 14/92 (15.2%) (2020 criteria) of GC patients (AEG: 2015 criteria 3/61 (4.9%) versus 4/61 according to 2020 criteria (6.5%)). Patients fulfilling hereditary criteria but with intestinal histology (FIGC) increased from 8.7% (2015) to 14.1%, respectively (2020) (AEG: 3.2% (2015) versus 6.6% (2020)). Hereditary criteria including intestinal histology were found in 29.3% (GC) and 13.1% (AEG) (p = 0.03) according to the 2020 criteria. Conclusions: HDGC criteria were found in 15.2% of GC patients according to the 2020 criteria. Percentage increased to 29.3% including patients with intestinal histology among the GC group, and was 13.1% in cases with AEG. These data indicate that family history seems to be of utmost importance in GC to further detect potential hereditary genetic risks. This equally applies for patients with intestinal subtype GC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Early detection of gastric cancer (GC) is a critical step for decreasing mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of four prediction models for risk stratification in the screening of GC and precancerous lesions among a large, high-risk population in China. DESIGN This study was a retrospective analysis of data from the Provincial Gastric Cancer Screening Program (Zhejiang, China) spanning the period between October 2016 and April 2019, in which 97,541 individuals from the urban areas of 10 cities in Zhejiang province, China participated in this program. Demographic and clinical characteristics data were collected, and serum pepsinogens I and II, gastrin-17, and anti-H. pylori IgG antibody were detected. Participants were asked to voluntarily undergo gastroscopy. The performance of the ABC method, new ABC method, Tu's prediction model, and Li's prediction model, which stratified participants into low-, medium- and high-risk subgroups, were evaluated using the area under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) and Youden index. RESULTS Among the participants, 6005 (3447 males and 2558 females, mean age of 58.35 years), voluntarily underwent gastroscopy. Overall, 72 (1.20%) GC cases (30 early and 42 advanced) and 2006 cases with precancerous lesions (270 atrophic gastritis, 1634 intestinal metaplasia, and 102 dysplasia/intraepithelial neoplasia) were identified. Notably, Li's prediction model achieved the greatest AUC and Youden index values (0.708 and 0.319, respectively) for predicting GC, and exhibited the greatest ability to detect precancerous lesions, especially intestinal metaplasia. CONCLUSION Li's prediction model performs the best for risk stratification in the screening, detection, and diagnosis of GC and precancerous lesions, whereas the overall performance of the other three models is similar ( www.chictr.org.cn , ChiCTR2100043363).

Abstract
Background A few studies revealed that the polymorphisms of Mucin 1 gene have a role and significance as a susceptible factor contributing to gastric cancer. To better understand the roles of two MUC1 genotype polymorphisms of rs4072037 and rs2070803 in the development of gastric cancer in Vietnamese population, a multicenter, large-sample, case-control study was conducted to investigate the potential association of these single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of MUC1 gene with gastric cancer risk and to evaluate the combination factors in relation with these SNPs. Methods This case-control study included 302 gastric cancer patients and 304 controls at four national medical hospitals between 2016 and 2018. All participants were interviewed for sociodemographic characteristics, smoking and drinking status, and personal and family history of gastric diseases. Genotyping was done using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The association of SNPs with gastric cancer was explored using logistic regression models. Results AA genotype for rs4072037 was significantly associated with increased gastric cancer. Those with AA genotype had higher gastric cancer risk than had patients with AG (OR: 2.09, 95% CI: 1.48-2.96) and a combination of AG+GG (OR: 1.85, 95% CI: 1.33-2.56). In rs2070803, GG genotype increased gastric cancer risk when compared with AG (OR: 1.97, 95% CI: 1.39-2.80) and AG+AA (OR: 1.71, 95% CI: 1.23-2.39). AG genotypes in both SNPs decreased gastric cancer risk when compared with homogenous genotype, more specifically AA (OR: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.35-0.72) and GG (OR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.35-0.97). These genotypes in combination with above-60-year-old age, male gender, alcoholism, and personal history of gastric disease were also significantly elevated risk factors for gastric cancer. Conclusions rs4072037 and rs2070803 of Mucin 1 genes are two genotypic risk factors for gastric cancer. Those in combination with gender, family history, smoking, and drinking habits significantly increase the risk of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Background: Early detection of gastric cancer (GC) has been the topic of major efforts in China. This study aimed to explore the risk factors associated with GC and to provide evidence for the selection of a high-risk population of GC. Methods: Based on the cancer screening cohort of the National Cancer Screening Program in Urban China, GC patients diagnosed by endoscopy and pathological examinations constituted the case group, and controls were 1:3 matched by sex and age (±5 years) individually. The variables were selected by univariable analysis of factors such as body mass index (BMI), dietary habits, lifestyle, stomach disease history, and family history of GC; and multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of GC and to calculate the odds ratio (OR) of related factors and its 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: A total of 215 GC cases and 645 matched healthy controls were included in the final analysis, with a median age of 61 years for the case and control groups. Overall analysis showed that high educational level (above primary school) (OR = 0.362, 95% CI = 0.219–0.599, P < 0.001), overweight/obesity (BMI ≥24 kg/m2; OR = 0.489, 95% CI = 0.329–0.726, P < 0.001), cigarette smoking (OR = 3.069, 95% CI = 1.700–5.540, P < 0.001), alcohol consumption (OR = 1.661, 95% CI = 1.028–2.683, P = 0.038), history of stomach disease (OR = 6.917, 95% CI = 4.594–10.416, P < 0.001), and family history of GC in first-degree relatives (OR = 4.291, 95% CI = 1.661–11.084, P = 0.003) were significantly correlated with the occurrence of GC. Subgroup analyses by age and gender indicated that GC risk was still increased in the presence of a history of stomach disease. A history of chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, or gastric polyposis was positively associated with GC, with adjusted ORs of 4.155 (95% CI = 2.711–6.368), 1.839 (95% CI = 1.028–3.288), and 2.752 (95% CI = 1.197–6.326). Conclusions: Subjects who smoke, drink, with history of stomach disease and family history of GC in first-degree relatives are the high-risk populations for GC. Therefore, attention should be paid to these subjects for GC screening.

Abstract
Cancer incidence varies among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations, as well as between AI/AN and White populations. This study examined trends for cancers with elevated incidence among AI/AN compared with non-Hispanic White populations and estimated potentially avoidable incident cases among AI/AN populations. Incident cases diagnosed during 2012-2016 were identified from population-based cancer registries and linked with the Indian Health Service patient registration databases to improve racial classification of AI/AN populations. Age-adjusted rates (per 100,000) and trends were calculated for cancers with elevated incidence among AI/AN compared with non-Hispanic White populations (rate ratio of >1.0) according to region. Trends were estimated using joinpoint regression analyses. Expected cancers were estimated by applying age-specific cancer incidence rates among non-Hispanic White populations to population estimates for AI/AN populations. Excess cancer cases among AI/AN populations were defined as observed minus expected cases. Liver, stomach, kidney, lung, colorectal, and female breast cancers had higher incidence rates among AI/AN populations across most regions. Between 2012 and 2016, nearly 5,200 excess cancers were diagnosed among AI/AN populations, with the largest number of excess cancers (1,925) occurring in the Southern Plains region. Culturally informed efforts could reduce cancer disparities associated with these and other cancers among AI/AN populations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations have higher gastric cancer rates than the general US population. This study provides a comprehensive overview of incidence rates among AI/AN persons during 2005-2016 compared with non-Hispanic whites (whites). METHODS Population-based cancer registry data for 2005-2016 were linked with the Indian Health Service patient registration databases to address racial misclassification. Age-adjusted gastric cancer incidence rates were expressed per 100,000 per year. Incidence and trend analyses were restricted to purchased/referred care delivery area counties in 6 geographic regions, comparing gastric cancer incidence rates for AI/AN vs white populations in the United States. RESULTS Gastric cancer rates were higher in the AI/AN compared with white populations in nearly every US region. Incidence rates for central/distal portions of the stomach were higher in AI/AN individuals compared with whites. Rates of later stage gastric cancer were higher in AI/AN populations overall and in every region except the Pacific Coast and East. Incidence rates decreased significantly over time in both populations. Declining rates in the AI/AN populations were driven by changes in the Pacific Coast and Northern Plains regions. DISCUSSION AI/AN populations have a disproportionately high incidence of gastric cancer, especially in Alaska. High incidence in the central/distal portions of the stomach among AI/AN populations likely reflects a high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in these populations. These data can be used to develop interventions to reduce risk factors and improve access to health services among AI/AN people at high risk for gastric cancer.

Abstract
Background/Aims The survival rate of gastric cancer (GC) is known to be higher in patients with a family history (FH) of GC. There is an association between a polymorphism in the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFB1) gene and the risk of GC in patients with first-degree relatives with GC. This study was performed to investigate whether a FH affects GC outcomes according to the TGFB1 C-509T polymorphism. Methods TGFB1 was genotyped by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method in 1,143 GC patients, including 216 patients (18.9%) with first-degree relatives with GC. Results The proportion of stage I–II GCs was significantly higher in patients with a FH than in those without a FH of GC (83.8 vs 74.9%, p=0.005). The association between a FH of GC and stage I–II GC was not significant in subgroups divided based on the TGFB1 C-509T polymorphism and sex. A FH did not affect the overall survival rate of GC in patient with all stages and each stage. The overall survival rates were not significantly different between patients with the CC and CT/TT genotypes of the TGFB1-509 polymorphism. Conclusions Patient with a FH of GC had lower cancer stage (I–II) at diagnosis than those without a FH of GC, but there was no significant difference in overall survival between the patients with and without a FH of GC. A FH did not influence the tumor stage or overall survival in patients stratified by the presence of the TGFB1 C-509T polymorphism.

[PMID: 33198658 PMCID: PMC7670663 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-020-07612-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2020] [Accepted: 11/03/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background People are at a high risk of gastric cancer if their first-degree relatives suffered from atrophic gastritis (AG), intestinal metaplasia (IM), intraepithelial neoplasia (IEN), dysplasia (DYS), or gastric cancer (GC). This study was performed to analyse the association between FDR-GC and GC precursors. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed to screen the prevalence of GC precursors from November 2016 to September 2019. A total of 1329 participants with FDR-GC, 193 participants with a family history of non-gastric cancer in FDRs (FDR-nGC), and 860 participants without a family history of cancer in FDRs (FDR-nC) were recruited in this study. The logistic regression model was used in this study. Results The prevalence of normal, Non-AG, AG/IM, IEN/DYS, and GC was 31.91, 44.21, 13.81, 8.73, and 1.34%, respectively. The prevalence of IEN/DYS was higher in people with FDR-GC and FDR-nGC (FDR-GC: odds ratio (OR) = 1.655; 95%CI, 1.153–2.376; FDR-nGC: OR = 1.984; 95%CI, 1.122–3.506) than those with FDR-nC. The younger the age at which FDRs were diagnosed with GC, the more likely the participants were to develop AG/IM (Ptrend = 0.019). The risk of precursors to GC was higher in participants whose FDR-GC was the mother than in those whose FDR-GC was the father or sibling (OR, non-AG: 1.312 vs. 1.007, 1.274; AG/IM: 1.430 vs. 1.296, 1.378; IEN/DYS: 1.988 vs. 1.573, 1.542). There was no statistically significant difference in non-AG (OR = 1.700; 95%CI, 0.940–3.074), AG/IM (OR = 1.291; 95%CI, 0.579–2.877), and IEN/DYS (OR = 1.265; 95%CI, 0.517–3.096) between participants with one or more FDR-GC. Conclusion People with FDR-GC and FDR-nGC are at a high risk of IEN/DYS. When an FDR was diagnosed at a younger age, the risk of AG/IM was higher. The risk of GC precursors was higher in people whose FDR-GC was the mother.

[PMID: 32377988 DOI: 10.1007/s12253-020-00815-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2020] [Accepted: 04/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
AT-rich interaction domain containing protein 1A (ARID1A), has recently emerged as a novel class of gene which acts as a potent tumor suppressor in numerous types of cancers such as Gastric, Breast, Ovarian, Colorectal, Lung cancers. ARID1A is involved in the regulation of various cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation and DNA repair, yet its association with the susceptibility of cancer remains unknown. Here, we aimed to analyse the association of the ARID1A variants (Pro912Thr, Gln944Lys and Gln920Ter) with the risk of Gastric cancer (GC) in Kashmiri population. The study included 103 confirmed cases of GC and 163 normal controls. The genotypes were studied using Polymerase Chain Reaction. Different bioinformatic predictive tools were also used to analyse the possible effect of these SNP's on the resultant protein. The Pro912Thr and Gln920Ter variants of ARID1A showed significant difference in genotypic and allelic frequencies between the GC cases and controls (P < 0.05), whereas, the data did not reveal any correlation between Gln944Lys variant and Gastric cancer risk. Both Pro912Thr and Gln920Ter SNP's follow "Dominant mode of inheritance". In Silico analysis predicted that amino acid substitution of Pro912Thr SNP decreases the protein stability thus changing the functional properties of resultant protein, so backing the possibility of damaging effect of this SNP. Our study suggests that Pro912Thr and Gln920Ter SNP's of ARD1A gene are associated with increased risk of GC in Kashmiri population.

Abstract
Alaska Native (AN) people experience higher incidence of, and mortality from, gastric cancer compared to other U.S. populations1 , 2 . Compared to the general U.S. population, gastric cancer in AN people occurs at a younger age, is diagnosed at later stages, is more evenly distributed between the sexes, and is more frequently signet-ring or diffuse histology3 . It is known that the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (Hp ) infection, a risk factor for gastric cancer, is high in AN people4 ; however, high antimicrobial resistance combined with high reinfection rates in Alaska make treatment at the population level complex5 . In addition, health issues in AN people are uniquely challenging due to the extremely remote locations of many residents. A multiagency workgroup hosted a symposium in Anchorage that brought internationally-recognized experts and local leaders together to evaluate issues around gastric cancer in the AN population. The overall goal of this symposium was to identify the best strategies to combat gastric cancer in the AN population through prevention and early diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a gastric cancer (GC) risk prediction rule as an initial prescreening tool to identify individuals with a high risk prior to gastroscopy. DESIGN This was a nationwide multicentre cross-sectional study. Individuals aged 40-80 years who went to hospitals for a GC screening gastroscopy were recruited. Serum pepsinogen (PG) I, PG II, gastrin-17 (G-17) and anti-Helicobacter pylori IgG antibody concentrations were tested prior to endoscopy. Eligible participants (n=14 929) were randomly assigned into the derivation and validation cohorts, with a ratio of 2:1. Risk factors for GC were identified by univariate and multivariate analyses and an optimal prediction rule was then settled. RESULTS The novel GC risk prediction rule comprised seven variables (age, sex, PG I/II ratio, G-17 level, H. pylori infection, pickled food and fried food), with scores ranging from 0 to 25. The observed prevalence rates of GC in the derivation cohort at low-risk (≤11), medium-risk (12-16) or high-risk (17-25) group were 1.2%, 4.4% and 12.3%, respectively (p<0.001).When gastroscopy was used for individuals with medium risk and high risk, 70.8% of total GC cases and 70.3% of early GC cases were detected. While endoscopy requirements could be reduced by 66.7% according to the low-risk proportion. The prediction rule owns a good discrimination, with an area under curve of 0.76, or calibration (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The developed and validated prediction rule showed good performance on identifying individuals at a higher risk in a Chinese high-risk population. Future studies are needed to validate its efficacy in a larger population.

Abstract
Objectives: To explore the role of sociodemographic and lifestyle factors in the development of gastric cancer in a high-risk region of China.Methods: In a case-control study, all newly diagnosed patients with gastric cancer were compared with healthy controls matched (1:1) by sex, age (±3 years), and place of residence during 2013-2017.Results: A total of 622 gastric cancer and 622 healthy controls were included. Larger household size (>4 family members) appeared to decrease gastric cancer risk for Helicobacter pylori-negative ones (odd ratio = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.26-0.70). Similarly, longer refrigerator ownership was associated with a 67% decreased risk in H. pylori-negative group (95% CI = 0.15-0.77). Participants with a family history of gastric cancer had nearly fivefold higher risk (odd ratio = 4.88, 95% CI = 2.49-9.55). Smoking attributed to 83% increased risk (odd ratio = 1.83, 95% CI = 1.19-2.80). Tea consumption dramatically decreased risk in whole study population (odd ratio = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.17-0.45).Conclusions: In summary, family history, smoking, H. pylori-related chronic atrophic gastritis, and H. pylori infection were positively associated with gastric cancer. Whereas, tea consumption and refrigerator use negatively associated with gastric cancer and could be promoted to reduce gastric cancer rate in high-risk populations, especially in the developing regions.

Abstract
Background Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in Vietnam. Research on health-related quality of life of Vietnamese gastric cancer patients is still in its infancy. Aim To assess the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of GC patients using the 15D instrument. Materials and Method 182 Vietnamese gastric cancer patients were selected to be interviewed and their HRQOL was assessed using the generic 15D questionnaire. Tables regarding history, disease characteristics, and HRQOL of participants were formulated according to genders using STATA 12.0. Results The average age of the participants was 60.8 ± 11.6. The average time from diagnosis to the date of interview was 14.8 ± 8.4 months. The health-related quality of life (HRQOL) index score of gastric cancer patients using the 15D instrument was 0.92 ± 0.08, in which the "sexual activity" dimension had the lowest score of 0.66. Also, our study found several factors affecting HRQOL, including age, occupation, education, disease stage, treatment, and time from the date of diagnosis. Conclusion The 15D instrument was a suitable tool to assess Vietnamese gastric cancer patients' quality of life. Findings from the study suggest the importance of frequently measuring personal functioning and performance of GC patients as parts of QOL assessment during clinical examination. It also implies the needs for more focused policies on raising the overall quality of life of patients such as encouragement of periodical HQROL assessment and acknowledging HRQOL as a treatment/intervention goal besides the 5-year survival rate.

Abstract
Gastric cancer in young adults has been pointed out to comprise a subgroup associated with distinctive clinicopathological features, including an equal gender distribution, advanced disease, and diffuse‐type histology. Comprehensive molecular analyses of gastric cancers have led to molecular‐based classifications and to specific and effective treatment options. The molecular traits of gastric cancers in young adults await investigations, which should provide a clue to explore therapeutic strategies. Here, we studied 146 gastric cancer patients diagnosed at the age of 40 years or younger at the Cancer Institute Hospital (Tokyo, Japan). Tumor specimens were examined for Helicobacter pylori infection, Epstein‐Barr virus positivity, and for the expression of mismatch repair genes to indicate microsatellite instability. Overexpression, gene amplifications, and rearrangements of 18 candidate driver genes were examined by immunohistochemistry and FISH. Although only a small number of cases were positive for Epstein‐Barr virus and microsatellite instability (n = 2 each), we repeatedly found tumors with gene fusion between a tight‐junction protein claudin, CLDN18, and a regulator of small G proteins, ARHGAP, in as many as 22 cases (15.1%), and RNA sequencing identified 2 novel types of the fusion. Notably, patients with the CLDN18‐ARHGAP fusion revealed associations between aggressive disease and poor prognosis, even when grouped by their clinical stage. These observations indicate that a fusion gene between CLDN18 and ARHGAP is enriched in younger age‐onset gastric cancers, and its presence could contribute to their aggressive characteristics.

Abstract
Upper-GI diseases are one of the most relevant issue in primary care. Nowadays they are still responsible for about 100 million ambulatory care visits only in the US. The diagnosis of almost every upper-GI condition is still deputed to invasive tests such as upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, gastroesophageal manometry or radiography. The possibility of analysing serum markers like Pepsinogens I and II, produced by gastric mucosa, in order to assess the functional characteristics of the upper GI tract has spread itself since the 80’s especially in the diagnosis of peptic ulcer. The discovery of Helicobacter pylori by Marshall and Warren in 1983 and the scientific consecration of its role in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer and peptic ulcer (crystallized in Peleo Correa’s Cascade, 1992), led to an increase importance of non-invasive tests, raising the attention towards the assessment of both immunoglobulins anti-H.p. and Gastrin hormone produced by antral G cells, as an implementation of the panel of gastric markers. This narrative review aims to analyze the huge landscape of non-invasive tests for diagnosis of GI diseases, studying the literature of the recent years. (www.actabiomedica.it)

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microsatellite instability (MSI) is currently a new molecular subtype of gastric cancer (GC). About 90% of GC cases appear sporadically. MSI seems to be responsible for both sporadic and familial GC. The aim of this study was to analyze the frequency of MSI in GC with familial history of GC. METHODS The MSI analysis was conducted using five quasi-monomorphic mononucleotide repeats: BAT-26, BAT-25, NR-24, NR-21 and NR-27. From our database, we analyzed 457 patients in terms of cancer history across family members, particularly focusing on GC. RESULTS MSI status in patients without familial history of GC was present in 22.1% of the cases, whereas in the patients with familial history of GC it was present in 28% of the cases (p = 0.220). For 1st or 2nd degree family members with GC, MSI was observed in 27.6% and in 30.8%, respectively (p = 0.812). MSI was observed in hereditary gastric cancer (HGC) in 33.3% and in familial gastric cancer (FGC) in 30%. No difference in survival rates was observed between the analyzed groups. CONCLUSIONS In our publication, we could not find any link between familial background and the MSI status in GC patients. More detailed molecular and genetic analysis of subgroups of these patients is required.

Abstract
With a current molecular revolution, hereditary gastric cancer represents a small group of patients that require a special multidisciplinary treatment. Surgeons being a member of the multidisciplinary teams are an important part of the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of these patients. The prophylactic nature of the gastrectomy with all different problems associated with this procedure need to be widely discussed with patients. We present a review of how to look for and how to manage a hereditary diffuse-type gastric cancer.

Abstract
Recognition of individuals with a genetic predisposition to gastric cancer (GC) enables preventive measures. However, the underlying cause of genetic susceptibility to gastric cancer remains largely unexplained. We performed germline whole-exome sequencing on leukocyte DNA of 54 patients from 53 families with genetically unexplained diffuse-type and intestinal-type GC to identify novel GC-predisposing candidate genes. As young age at diagnosis and familial clustering are hallmarks of genetic tumor susceptibility, we selected patients that were diagnosed below the age of 35, patients from families with two cases of GC at or below age 60 and patients from families with three GC cases at or below age 70. All included individuals were tested negative for germline CDH1 mutations before or during the study. Variants that were possibly deleterious according to in silico predictions were filtered using several independent approaches that were based on gene function and gene mutation burden in controls. Despite a rigorous search, no obvious candidate GC predisposition genes were identified. This negative result stresses the importance of future research studies in large, homogeneous cohorts.

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 gene polymorphisms are associated with a multiple family history of gastric cancer. Gastric Cancer 2017; 20:246-253.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A family history of gastric cancer (GC) is a well-known risk factor of GC. Genetic variations in genes of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) have been related to the risk of GC, but their association with familial background is not clear. We investigated whether individuals with a multiple family history of GC have more risk genotypes of MMP/TIMP genes. METHODS We genotyped ten common functional polymorphisms of MMP/TIMP genes in 4427 individuals aged 35-69 years without a history of GC who were enrolled in the Japan Multi-institutional Collaborative Cohort Study. Individuals who have two or more first-degree relatives (parents and siblings) with GC were categorized as having a multiple family history. Odds ratios (ORs) for multiple family history compared with no family history were calculated. RESULTS MMP9 279QQ (rs17576) was more frequently observed in individuals whose both parents had a history of GC (n = 23) and in individuals for whom one parent and their sibling(s) had a history of GC (n = 36) compared with those with no family history (n = 3816) [30.4 % vs 11.6 %, OR 4.34, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.45-13.03 and 16.7 % vs 11.6 %, OR 2.26, 95 % CI 0.81-6.27 after adjustment for age, sex, and current smoking]. The population attributable fraction was 38.1 %. The haplotype MMP9-1562C/279Q/668Q was more frequently observed in individuals whose both parents had a history of GC and in individuals for whom one parent and their sibling(s) had a history of GC compared with those with no family history (OR 3.35, 95 % CI 0.75-14.96 and OR 3.51, 95 % CI 1.35-9.15 respectively). CONCLUSIONS MMP9 polymorphisms were associated with a multiple family history of GC. Screening for these genotypes together with familial background may help us to identify individuals at an increased risk of GC.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a common disease worldwide, typically associated with acquired chronic inflammation in the stomach, related in most instances to infection by Helicobacter pylori. A small percentage of cases occurs in familial clusters, and some of these can be linked to specific germline mutations. This article reviews the historical background to the current understanding of familial gastric cancer, focuses on the entity of hereditary diffuse gastric cancer, and also reviews the risks for gastric cancer related to a number of other familial genetic diseases.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. Identifying individuals at high risk is important for surveillance and prevention of gastric cancer. Having first-degree relatives diagnosed with gastric cancer is a strong and consistent risk factor for gastric cancer, but the pathogenic mechanisms behind this familial aggregation are unclear. Against this background, we reviewed the risk factors for gastric cancer in those with a first-degree relative with gastric cancer, and the possible causes for familial clustering of gastric cancer including bacterial factors, inherited genetic susceptibility, environmental factors or a combination thereof. Among individuals with a family history, current or past Helicobacter pylori infection, having two or more first-degree affected relatives or female gender was associated with an increased risk of developing gastric cancer. To date, no specific single nucleotide polymorphism has been shown to be associated with familial clustering of gastric cancer. H. pylori eradication is the most important strategy for preventing gastric cancer in first-degree relatives of gastric cancer patients, particularly those in their 20s and 30s. Early H. pylori eradication could prevent the progression to intestinal metaplasia and reduce the synergistic effect on gastric carcinogenesis in individuals with both H. pylori infection and a family history. Endoscopic surveillance is also expected to benefit individuals with a family history. Further large-scale, prospective studies are warranted to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and optimal time point for endoscopy in this population. Moreover, genome-wide association studies that incorporate environmental and dietary factors on a 'big data' basis will increase our understanding of the pathogenesis of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Obesity is related to an increased risk of gastric cardia cancer. However, the influences of excess body weight and serum total cholesterol on the risk of gastric high-grade dysplasia have not been fully characterized.A case-control study was conducted to explore the relationships between body mass index (BMI), serum total cholesterol level, and the risk of gastric high-grade dysplasia in Chinese adults. A total of 893 consecutive patients with gastric high-grade dysplasia (537 men and 356 women) and 902 controls (543 men and 359 women) were enrolled from January 2000 to October 2015. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated, and a multivariate analysis was conducted.After adjusting for age, alcohol consumption, smoking status, family history of gastric cancer or esophageal cancer, and serum total cholesterol level, a BMI ranging from 27.5 to 29.9 was significantly related to an increased risk of gastric high-grade dysplasia in both men (adjusted OR = 1.87, 95% CI = 1.24-2.81) and women (adjusted OR = 2.72, 95% CI = 1.44-5.16). The 2 highest BMI categories (27.5-29.9 and ≥30.0) were identified as risk factors for gastric cardia high-grade dysplasia in both men (BMI = 27.5-29.9: adjusted OR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.02-3.10; BMI ≥ 30.0: adjusted OR = 2.54, 95% CI = 1.27-5.08) and women (BMI = 27.5-29.9: adjusted OR = 2.88, 95% CI = 1.27-6.55; BMI ≥ 30.0: adjusted OR = 2.77, 95% CI = 1.36-5.64), whereas only a BMI ranging from 27.5 to 29.9 was a risk factor for gastric noncardia high-grade dysplasia in both men (adjusted OR = 1.98, 95% CI = 1.25-3.14) and women (adjusted OR = 2.88, 95% CI = 1.43-5.81). In addition, higher serum total cholesterol was associated with an increased risk of gastric noncardia high-grade dysplasia (adjusted OR = 1.83, 95% CI = 1.25-2.69) in women.Increased BMI was associated with an increased risk of gastric high-grade dysplasia in both men and women, and higher serum total cholesterol increased the risk of gastric noncardia high-grade dysplasia in women.

Abstract
IL-12Rβ1 deficiency, also known as immunodeficiency 30 (IMD30, OMIM 614891), is a rare immunodeficiency syndrome caused by biallelic mutations in IL12RB1. Three second-degree relatives of a patient with this syndrome, all women, developed intestinal-type gastric cancer (GC). In the Netherlands the incidence of non-cardia GC in women is only 7 per 100,000 person years. Both relatives that were available for testing proved to be heterozygous for the familial IL12RB1 mutation, suggesting there might be a causal relation. Testing 29 index patients from families with early onset and/or a familial history of GC for germline mutations in both IL12RB1 and IL12RB2, that encodes the binding partner of IL-12Rβ1, did not reveal other germline mutations in these genes. Therefore heterozygous inactivating mutations in IL12RB1 and IL12RB2 are unlikely to be frequently involved in GC predisposition. Additional research in families with IL12RB1 mutations is required to determine whether carriers of IL12RB1 mutations have an increased (gastric) cancer risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Germline mutations in the cadherin 1, type 1, E-cadherin gene (CDH1) cause a predisposition to gastric cancer. We evaluated the ability of the internationally accepted hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) criteria to identify individuals with pathogenic mutations in CDH1, and assessed their outcomes. The criteria were as follows: families with 2 or more cases of gastric cancer, with at least 1 patient diagnosed with diffuse gastric cancer (DGC) before age 50; families with 3 or more cases of DGC; families with 1 DGC before the age of 40; and families with a history of DGC and lobular breast cancer, with 1 diagnosis before the age of 50. METHODS We collected results of a CDH1 mutation analysis of 578 individuals from 499 families tested in The Netherlands between 1999 and 2014 (118 families met the HDGC criteria for testing and 236 did not; there were 145 families with incomplete data and/or availability of only first-degree relatives). Data were linked with family histories and findings from clinical and pathology analyses. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis were used to evaluate the overall survival of patients with and without CDH1 mutations. RESULTS In a cohort study in The Netherlands, the HDGC criteria identified individuals with a germline CDH1 mutation with a positive predictive value of 14% and 89% sensitivity. There were 18 pathogenic CDH1 mutations in 499 families (4%); 16 of these mutations were detected in the 118 families who met the HDGC criteria for testing. One pathogenic CDH1 mutation was detected in the 236 families who did not meet HDGC criteria and 1 in the 145 families with incomplete data and/or availability of only first-degree relatives. No CDH1 mutations were found in the 67 families whose members developed intestinal-type gastric cancer, or in the 22 families whose families developed lobular breast cancer. Among patients who fulfilled the HDGC criteria and had pathogenic CDH1 mutations, 36% survived for 1 year and 4% survived for 5 years; among patients who fulfilled the HDGC criteria but did not carry pathogenic CDH1 mutations, 48% survived for 1 year and 13% survived for 5 years (P = .014 for comparative survival analysis between patients with and without a CDH1 mutation). CONCLUSIONS All individuals with a CDH1 mutation had a personal or family history of diffuse gastric cancer. Patients with gastric cancer and germline CDH1 mutations had shorter survival times than patients who met the HDGC criteria but did not have CDH1 mutations.

Abstract
The impact of CDH1 gene mutations and large deletions on hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) and early onset diffuse gastric cancer (EODGC) has not been determined in Asians. We investigated the mutation status of the CDH1 gene in 25 Korean EODGC patients younger than 50 years and 23 HDGC patients who met the clinical criteria for HDGC. Polymerase chain reaction-direct sequencing was performed, and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was used to evaluate the patients with negative sequencing results. We determined that 2 of 25 (8 %) EODGC patients had CDH1 germline mutations. One was a nonsense mutation (c.1003C>T, p.Arg335*, exon 7) in a 41-year-old female with no family history of cancer. The other was a missense mutation (c.715G>A, p.Gly239Arg, exon 6) in a 28-year-old male with no family history of cancer. One of 23 (4.3 %) HDGC patients had a CDH1 germline mutation (c.1003C>T). The patient's brother and sister died of stomach cancer. The MLPA results revealed no deletion or duplication in any patient. More research is needed to determine additional genetic targets that trigger HDGC. More comprehensive methods such as next-generation sequencing might be a good approach that can be used to identify the genetic causes of pathogenetically unexplained disorders.

Abstract
Less than a century ago, gastric cancer was the most common cancer in the United States and perhaps throughout the world. Despite its worldwide decline in incidence over the past century, gastric cancer remains a major killer across the globe. This article reviews the epidemiology, screening, and prevention of gastric cancer. We first discuss the descriptive epidemiology of gastric cancer, including its incidence, survival, mortality, and trends over time. Next, we characterize the risk factors for gastric cancer, both environmental and genetic. Serologic markers and histological precursor lesions of gastric cancer and early detection of gastric cancer using these markers are reviewed. Finally, we discuss prevention strategies and provide suggestions for further research.

Abstract
Background Few studies to date have evaluated gastric cancer(GC)-related malignant neoplasm family history (MN-FH), and their findings have been largely inconsistent. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of MN-FH and its relation to the clinicopathologic features of GC. Methods A total of 104 hospitalized patients with primary gastric adenocarcinoma was prospectively analyzed from 2008 to 2009. Positive MN-FH was defined as MN-affected first- and second-degree relatives of the current GC cases. The relation between prevalence of positive MN-FH and clinicopathologic features in the current GC patients was assessed using the Chi-square test with Cramer’s V coefficient. Results Thirty-seven (35.6%) of the GC patients had positive MN-FH, with 42 associated tumors in first- and second-degree relatives. Twenty-six (61.9%) of the associated tumors were located in the digestive system, including the esophagus (26.2%), stomach (23.8%), liver (9.5%) and colon (2.4%). Lung cancers were the most prevalent non-digestive system-associated tumors (9.5%). Correlation analysis revealed no significant relations with prevalence of MN-FH and any of the clinicopathologic features (all, P > 0.05), including sex (V = 0.044), age (V = 0.060) and histological subtypes (V = 0.109). Conclusions More than one-third of the GC patients in our hospital had positive MN-FH. The most frequent forms of MN-FH were esophageal cancer and GC. The prevalence of positive MN-FH was not correlated to any of the clinicopathologic features, including sex, age and histological subtypes in the study population of GC patients.

History, pathogenesis, and management of familial gastric cancer: original study of John XXIII's family. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2012; 2013:385132.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer is associated with the E-cadherin germline mutations, but genetic determinants have not been identified for familial intestinal gastric carcinoma. The guidelines for hereditary diffuse gastric cancer are clearly established; however, there are no defined recommendations for the management of familial intestinal gastric carcinoma. METHODS In this study we describe Pope John XXIII's pedigree that harboured gastric cancer as well as six other family members. Family history was analysed according to the International Gastric Cancer Linkage Consortium criteria, and gastric tumours were classified in accord with the last Japanese guidelines. RESULTS Seven out of 109 members in this pedigree harboured gastric cancer, affecting two consecutive generations. John XXIII's clinical tumour (cTN) was classified as cT4bN3a (IV stage). In two other cases, gastric carcinomas were classified as intestinal histotype and staged as pT1bN0 and pT2N2, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Pope John XXIII's family presents a strong aggregation for gastric cancer affecting almost seven members; it spreads through two consecutive generations. In absence of defined genetic causes and considering the increased risk of gastric cancer's development in these families, as well as the high mortality rates and advanced stages, we propose an intensive surveillance protocol for asymptomatic members.

Abstract
We investigated risk factors for gastric cancer (GC) and effect of annual endoscopic screening on detection and treatment modality of GC. Asymptomatic adults who underwent upper endoscopy during health checkups at Seoul National University Hospital Healthcare System Gangnam Center were enrolled. We compared clinicopathologic characteristics of GC according to screening interval (repeated vs. infrequent, annual vs. biennial). After age- and sex-matching, relative risk was computed by hazard ratio (HR) using Cox proportional regression with multivariate adjustment. Of the 58,849 subjects who received screening endoscopy, 277 (0.47%) were found to have GC. Intestinal type comprised 55.4% (102/184) followed by diffuse type (n = 65, 35.3%). Age ≥ 50 years, family history and smoking independently increased the risk of GC for both types, whereas male gender [HR = 4.81, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.72-8.03] and intestinal metaplasia (IM) (HR = 10.87, 95% CI: 3.36-22.30) were significant predictors for intestinal type only. Proportion of early gastric cancer (EGC) was 98.6% (71/72) in annual screening group and 80.7% (46/57) in biennial screening group (p < 0.01). In the former, tumor size was smaller (1.7 ± 1.3 vs. 2.3 ± 1.8 cm; p < 0.01] and proportion of intramucosal cancer was larger (75.0 vs. 56.1%; p = 0.04). Endoscopic resection was performed more frequently in annual screening group (56.9 vs. 33.3%; p = 0.02). IM along with male gender and older age was a strong risk factor for intestinal type GC. Annual screening group improved detection of early-stage and endoscopically treatable GC suggesting that intensive screening and surveillance may be useful for high-risk subpopulations with epidemiologic risk factors or premalignant lesions such as IM.

Abstract
PURPOSE Family history of gastric cancer is a major risk factor for the disease. In this study, we investigated the prognoses of patients with gastric cancer with a family history. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data from 1,273 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who had undergone gastrectomy between 2001 and 2005 at a tertiary cancer center hospital. A positive family history was defined as a self-reported history of cancer in first- or second-degree relatives. Patients were followed up until December 2009 for death or recurrence. Clinicopathologic characteristics were compared by family history. Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox proportional hazards regressions were applied for disease-free survival (DFS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and overall survival (OS). RESULTS Of 1,273 patients, 263 patients (20.6%) had first-degree relatives with a history of gastric cancer. First-degree family history of gastric cancer was associated with better DFS, RFS, and OS (P = .012, .006, and .005, respectively). In patients with stage I or II gastric cancer, first-degree family history was not associated with survival. However, it was associated with a reduced risk of recurrence or mortality in patients with stage III or IV gastric cancer. Compared with patients without a family history, the adjusted hazard ratios for those with a first-degree family history of gastric cancer were 0.49 (95% CI, 0.29 to 0.84) for DFS, 0.51 (95% CI, 0.30 to 0.87) for RFS, and 0.47 (95% CI, 0.26 to 0.84) for OS in patients with stage III or IV gastric cancer. CONCLUSION A first-degree family history of gastric cancer is associated with improved survival after curative-intent surgery in patients with stage III or IV gastric cancer.

Abstract
Hypermethylation of the promoter region of the MLH1 gene leads to loss of Mlh1 protein expression and plays a key role in the development of gastric cancer. Little is known about the association between Mlh1 expression and the clinicopathological and patient characteristics in early gastric neoplasia, particularly in endoscopically resected tumors. Immunohistochemistry was used to examine Mlh1 expression in 140 early gastric neoplasias obtained by endoscopic resection and comprising 31 gastric adenomas (GAs) and 109 early gastric cancers (EGCs), and compared them to corresponding clinicopathological and patient data. P53 expression and phenotypic profiles were also analyzed. The rate of reduced Mlh1 expression and P53 overexpression was 9.6 and 6.5% in GAs, and 27.5 and 27.5% in EGCs, respectively. In elderly patients (≥65 years of age), the aberrant expression of Mlh1 in EGCs was more significant in female than in male patients (59.9 vs. 29.8%; P=0.016). In addition, the frequency of aberrant Mlh1 expression in EGCs increased significantly in patients with oncological family histories and elevated gross type (P=0.033 and P=0.04, respectively). Moreover, a significant correlation was observed among aberrant Mlh1, P53-negative and HGM expression. The present findings suggest that loss of Mlh1 expression is associated with age, gender, oncological family history and tumor growth pattern in EGC. Patient and tumor characteristics are key factors in the screening, surveillance and diagnosis of early gastric neoplasia, particularly in elderly individuals.

Abstract
Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a major pathway involved in gastric carcinogenesis occurring in 20% of gastric cancer (GC). However, it is not clear whether MSI phenotype preferentially occurs in the sporadic or familial GC, when stringent inclusion criteria are used. The aim of this study was to compare the frequency of MSI and hypermethylation of MLH1 promoter in a large series of familial GC patients (non-HNPCC and non-CDH1-related) and sporadic cases. Additionally, we analysed the immunoexpression of MMR proteins in a fraction of cases. Overall, the frequency of familial GC was 7.1%, and the frequency of hereditary tumours was 4.6%. MSI phenotype and MLH1 hypermethylation frequencies were not statistical different between familial and sporadic GC settings. Further, the MSI phenotype was not associated with any clinico-pathological features studied in the familial GC setting, whereas in the sporadic setting, it was associated with older age, female gender and intestinal histotype. Using our stringent Amsterdam-based clinical criteria to select familial GC (number of cases, age of onset), we verified that sporadic and familial cases differed in gender but shared histopathological features. We verified that the frequency of MSI was similar in familial and sporadic GC settings, demonstrating that this molecular phenotype is not a hallmark of familial GC in contrast to what is verified in HNPCC. Moreover, we observed that the frequency of MLH1 hypermethylation is similar in sporadic and familial cases suggesting that in both settings MSI is not associated to MMR genetic alterations but in contrast to epigenetic deregulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Early gastric cancer (EGC) can be treated by minimally invasive endoscopic resection and has an excellent prognosis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether repeated esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) screening is an effective method for detecting EGC that can be treated by endoscopic resection. METHODS For patients diagnosed with gastric cancer in the Korean National Cancer Center screening program, we analyzed the incidence of gastric cancer, clinicopathological characteristics, and treatment modality according to whether they had (repeated screening group) or not (infrequent screening group) undergone EGD screening within 2 years before diagnosis. RESULTS Of the 18,414 patients who underwent EGD, 81 (0.44%) were found to have gastric cancer. Incidence of gastric cancer in repeated screening group was lower than that of infrequent screening group (multiple adjusted odds ratio=0.45, 95% confidence interval: 0.26-0.77, P=0.004). The proportion of EGCs was 96% (25 of 26) n the repeated screening group and 71% (34 of 48) in the infrequent screening group (P=0.01). Mean (SD) tumor size was smaller [1.9 (1.2) vs. 3.0 (1.6) cm, P=0.01] and the proportion of intramucosal cancer was higher [81% (21 of 26) vs. 50% (24 of 48), P=0.02] in the former than in the latter. Endoscopic resection was performed more frequently in the repeated screening group [54% (14 of 26) vs. 23% (11 of 48), P=0.007]. CONCLUSION Repeated endoscopic screening within 2 years decreased the incidence of gastric cancer and endoscopic resection could be applied to more patients who underwent EGD screening within 2 years.

METHODS: Positive family histories within second-degree relatives and clinicopathological features were obtained for 256 patients.
RESULTS: Of the 256 probands, 112 (76 male, 36 female) were incorporated into familial GC (FGC) group: at least two GC members; 144 (98 male, 46 female) were included in the non-FGC group (relatives only affected with non-GCs). Of 399 tumors in relatives (181 from FGC against 212 from non-FGC), GC was the most frequent, followed by esophageal, hepatocellular, and colorectal cancer. Nasopharyngeal cancer was next to lung cancer but prior to breast and urogenital cancers. Most affected members aggregated within first-degree relatives (FGC: 66 siblings, 48 fathers, 31 mothers, four offspring; non-FGC: 56 fathers, 55 siblings, 43 mothers, and 15 offspring). The ratio of males to females in affected first-degree relatives was usually higher in male probands. Paternal history of GC was a slight risk for GC in males (OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 0.53-2.69), while risk of GC by maternal history of non-GCs was increased in females (OR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.22-0.97). Diffuse-GC was the major histological type in all subgroups. Difference in tumor sites between the two groups was derived from an excess of upper sites in non-FGC female probands.
CONCLUSION: Distribution of associated non-GCs in a family history of GC may vary with geographic areas. GC may have different genetic and/or environmental etiology in different families, and a certain subtype may be inherited in a female-influenced fashion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer incidence rates for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) historically have exceeded those for non-Hispanic whites (NHWs). Previous reports may have underestimated the true burden of gastric cancer in AI/AN populations because of misclassification of AI/AN race in cancer registries. METHODS Population-based cancer registry data from 1999 through 2004 were used to describe gastric cancer incidence in AI/ANs and NHWs in the US. To address misclassification of race, registry data were linked with Indian Health Service administrative records, and analyses were restricted to residents of Contract Health Service Delivery Areas (CHSDA). Disease patterns were assessed for 6 geographic regions and for all regions combined. Rates were expressed per 100,000 population and were age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population. RESULTS In CHSDA counties, gastric cancer incidence rates for AI/ANs were higher than the rates for NHWs across most regions. For both sexes combined, AI/AN rates ranged from 6.1 in the East region to 24.5 in Alaska; there was relatively little regional variation in NHW rates. Most patients with gastric cancer were diagnosed with late-stage disease, regardless of race, age, or sex. In some regions, cancer rates in the central/distal portions of the stomach were higher among AI/ANs than among NHWs, whereas rates in the proximal stomach were similar between the 2 populations. CONCLUSIONS AI/ANs are generally at greater risk for gastric cancer than NHWs. Relatively high rates of cancer in the central/distal portions of the stomach among AI/ANs in some geographic regions may indicate a disproportional burden of Helicobacter pylori-associated disease.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the family history of cancer in Japanese gastric cancer patients and to investigate the clinicopathological features of gastric cancer patients with and without a family history of cancer. Four hundred and forty gastric cancer patients were enrolled in this study. The family history (first- and second-degree relatives) was investigated. The 440 patients were divided into three groups: (1) patients with a family history of gastric cancer; (2) patients with a family history of other cancers; and (3) patients without a family history of cancer. Two hundred and four patients (46.4%) reported a family history of cancer. Gastric cancer was the most frequent, with 98 patients having a total of 123 reports of gastric cancer in the family; colorectal cancer was the second most frequent and lung cancer was the third most frequent. The average ages of the group with a family history of gastric cancer and the group with a family history of other cancers were significantly lower than that of the patients without a family history of cancer. Other clinicopathological factors examined showed no significant difference between the groups. Japanese gastric cancer showed aggregation within second-degree relatives. The average age of the patients in the group with a family history of gastric cancer was the only significant factor that differed between gastric cancer patients with and without a family history of cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Recent studies have reported an association between cytokine gene polymorphisms and GC risk. However, results are inconsistent among studies from different geographic regions and ethnic groups. Our goal was to evaluate the influence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and host genetic factors on GC susceptibility in a population of Spanish white GC patients. METHODS DNA from 404 unrelated patients with GC and 404 sex- and age-matched healthy controls was typed for several functional polymorphisms in pro- (IL-1B, TNFA, LTA, IL-12p40) and anti-inflammatory (IL-4, IL-1RN, IL-10, TGFB1) genes by PCR, RFLP, and TaqMan assays. H. pylori infection and CagA/VacA antibody status were also determined by western blot serology. RESULTS Logistic regression analysis identified H. pylori infection with cagA strains (OR 2.54, 95% CI 1.77-3.66), smoking habit (OR 1.91, 95% CI 1.25-2.93), and positive family history of GC (OR 3.67, 95% CI 2.01-6.71) as independent risk factors for GC. None of the cytokine gene polymorphisms analyzed in this study were associated with susceptibility to GC development, whether GC patients were analyzed as a group or categorized according to anatomic location or histological subtype. Some simultaneous combinations of proinflammatory genotypes reportedly associated with greater GC risk yielded no significant differences between patients and controls. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that, at least in some white populations, the contribution of the cytokine gene polymorphisms evaluated in this study (IL-1B, IL-1RN, IL-12p40, LTA, IL-10, IL-4, and TGF-B1) to GC susceptibility may be less relevant than previously reported.

Helicobacter pylori infection, but not genetic polymorphism of CYP2E1, is highly prevalent in gastric cancer patients younger than 40 years. Gastric Cancer 2007; 10:98-103.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancers in young adults are thought to be associated with risk factors that include Helicobacter pylori infection and genetic polymorphism. The objective of this study was to elucidate the roles of these risk factors in patients younger than 40 years by analyzing clinicopathological data and H. pylori infection, and using molecular epidemiologic techniques. METHODS Clinicopathological features, the presence of H. pylori infection, endoscopic characteristics of gastritis, genetic polymorphism of P4502E1 (CYP2E1), and family history of cancer in patients with gastric cancer treated surgically at Nippon Medical School Hospital from 1991 to 2004 were analyzed, based on our medical database. RESULTS Gastric cancer in those younger than 40 years was characterized by a predominance of female patients with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma who had undergone total gastrectomy with extended lymphadenectomy. H. pylori infection had a higher prevalence in patients with gastric cancer than in patients with normal endoscopic results or chronic gastritis, especially in those younger than 40 years (odds ratio, 13.7). Atrophic gastritis, nodular gastritis, and rugal hyperplastic gastritis were observed by endoscopy as H. pylori-associated gastritis. No difference in the incidence of either CYP2E1 genetic polymorphism or a family history of cancer was observed among different age groups. CONCLUSION Gastric cancer in patients younger than 40 years is closely associated with H. pylori infection, but not with genetic characteristics. Eradication therapy for H. pylori and endoscopic examination of H. pylori-positive young adults may be anticipated to be adopted as a strategy for the prevention and/or early detection of cancer.
