Abstract
Gastric cancer poses a significant global health challenge, with high incidence and mortality rates each year. Despite advancements in screening and treatment, late detection remains a critical issue. Efforts to address this include raising public awareness and implementing targeted screening programs for high-risk populations. The increasing incidence of gastric cancer among younger individuals underscores the need for lifestyle adjustments and targeted interventions to mitigate risks and improve outcomes. Understanding the various factors contributing to gastric cancer risk is essential for effective prevention strategies, including Helicobacter pylori eradication, lifestyle modifications, and regular screening for high-risk groups. A comprehensive approach addressing both individual behaviors and broader societal factors is crucial in the fight against gastric cancer. This review provides an in-depth examination of gastric cancer epidemiology, risk factors, preventive measures, and screening initiatives, with a particular focus on the rising incidence among younger demographics. Emphasizing the importance of early detection and intervention, the review highlights the need for proactive screening to improve patient outcomes and reduce mortality rates. By addressing these aspects comprehensively, this paper aims to enhance the understanding of gastric cancer dynamics, particularly its incidence among younger individuals, and to inform future strategies for prevention and control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-cardia gastric cancer remains a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, despite declining incidence rates in many industrialized countries. The development of intestinal-type gastric cancer occurs through a multistep process in which normal mucosa is sequentially transformed into hyperproliferative epithelium, followed by metaplastic processes leading to carcinogenesis. Chronic infection with Helicobacter pylori is the primary etiological agent that causes chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa, induces atrophic gastritis, and can lead to intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia. Both intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia are precancerous lesions, in which gastric cancer is more likely to occur. Atrophic gastritis often improves after eradication of Helicobacter pylori; however, the occurrence of intestinal metaplasia has been traditionally regarded as "the point of no return" in the carcinogenesis sequence. Helicobacter pylori eradication heals non-atrophic chronic gastritis, may lead to regression of atrophic gastritis, and reduces the risk of gastric cancer in patients with these conditions. In this article, we discuss the pathogenesis, epigenomics, and reversibility of intestinal metaplasia and briefly touch upon potential treatment strategy. CONCLUSIONS Gastric intestinal metaplasia no longer appears to be an irreversible precancerous lesion. However, there are still many controversies regarding the improvement of intestinal metaplasia after Helicobacter pylori eradication.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of the artificial intelligence diagnosis support system for early gastric cancers. DEN OPEN 2024; 4:e289. [PMID: 37644958 PMCID: PMC10461711 DOI: 10.1002/deo2.289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
Objectives The introduction of artificial intelligence into the medical field has improved the diagnostic capabilities of physicians. However, few studies have analyzed the economic impact of employing artificial intelligence technologies in the clinical environment. This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of a computer-assisted diagnosis (CADx) system designed to support clinicians in differentiating early gastric cancers from non-cancerous lesions in Japan, where the universal health insurance system was introduced. Methods The target population to be used for the CADx was estimated as those with moderate to severe gastritis caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. Decision trees with Markov models were built to analyze the cumulative cost-effectiveness of using CADx relative to the pre-artificial intelligence status quo, a condition reconstructed from data in published reports. After conducting a base-case analysis, we performed sensitivity analyses by modifying several parameters. The primary outcome was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. Results Compared with the status quo as represented in the base-case analysis, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of CADx in the Japanese market was forecasted to be 11,093 USD per quality-adjusted life year. The sensitivity analyses demonstrated that the expected incremental cost-effectiveness ratios were within the willingness-to-pay threshold of 50,000 USD per quality-adjusted life year when the cost of the CAD was less than 104 USD. Conclusions Using CADx for EGCs may decrease their misdiagnosis, contributing to improved cost-effectiveness in Japan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, and its poor prognosis is predominantly attributed to distant metastasis. Liver is the primary site of GC metastasis. However, there is no universally approved treatment regimen for liver metastasis in GC. The aim of this article is to review the current research status and trends of liver metastasis of gastric cancer worldwide. METHODS We utilized the Web of Science Core Collection database to identify articles on liver metastasis from GC published between 2000 and 2022. We used bibliometric methods to analyze authors, institutions, countries, journals, and references through CiteSpace and VOSviewer. A total of 1,003 articles were included in this study. RESULTS Japan published the most articles in the field, followed by China. Nagoya University is the leading institution in the field of liver metastases in GC. Yasuhiro Kodera from Japan has made significant achievements in this area. We identified Gastric Cancer to be the most influential journal in this field. Using cluster analysis, the keywords were divided into four major clusters:(1) the molecular mechanism of gastric cancer liver metastasis (2) prognosis (3) liver resection (4) chemotherapy. CONCLUSION Our study systematically summarizes the results of gastric cancer liver metastasis research from 2000 to 2022 and describes and predicts research hotspots and trends on a global scale. Research on the molecular mechanisms of gastric cancer liver metastasis will become a hot topic in the future, and the expansion of the surgical treatment scope and the advancement of translational therapy will benefit more patients.

Abstract
Abstract Helicobacter pylori (HP) is a vital element in the etiology of peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. This research aimed to determine the frequency, distribution, and determinants of HP infection in adults and adolescents with gastric symptoms in district Haripur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. This cross-sectional study was performed from June 2018 to June 2020 at the Medical Laboratory Technology Department, The University of Haripur, Pakistan. Presence of HP was a research variable, while sex, age groups, education status, overcrowding, dining habits, milk intake, drinking water source and animal contact were grouping variables. Immuno-chromatographic technique (ICT) was used to for serological detection of HP antibodies. All variables were represented by frequency and percentage with 95%CI. Prevalence of HP and its distribution by eight socio-demographic variables was testified by the chi-square goodness-of-fit test while association was testified by chi-square test of association. Out of total 1160 cases, 557 (48%) were positive for HP. Population prevalence was higher in men, in the age group 20-40 years, illiterate, family size ≤ 10 persons, taking restaurant food, using tetra pack, using municipal water, and having animal contact. The observed prevalence of HP was similar to its expected prevalence in the population. The observed distribution of HP in the sample was different from its expected distribution in population by eight socio-demographic variables. Presence of HP was associated with all eight socio-demographic variables besides age groups.

Abstract
The safety of laparoscopic gastrectomy compared with that of open surgery for the treatment of early gastric cancer (EGC) is unidentified on a national scale. We aimed to compare the morbidity between laparoscopic and open gastrectomies for pathological T1 gastric cancer based on nationwide survey data. Data of 14,076 patients who underwent gastric cancer surgery obtained from the 2019 Korean Gastric Cancer Association-led nationwide survey were used. For patients with pathological T1 gastric cancer, the clinical characteristics were compared between the laparoscopic and open gastrectomy groups. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to match the baseline characteristics of the groups. Among the 7765 patients with pathological T1 gastric cancer who underwent open or laparoscopic gastrectomy, 612 pairs were matched. After balancing the baseline characteristics, the laparoscopic gastrectomy group had a significantly longer operative time, less blood loss, greater number of harvested lymph nodes, shorter hospital stays, and comparable morbidity, compared with the open gastrectomy group (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, P < 0.001, P = 0.001, and P = 0.709, respectively). The surgical approach was not a risk factor for postoperative complication in logistic regression analysis. The PSM analysis with the 2019 Korean nationwide survey data demonstrated that laparoscopic gastrectomy showed comparable morbidity with open gastrectomy for EGC.

Abstract
Background Alcohol consumption is related to the risk of developing different types of cancer. However, unlike other alcoholic beverages, moderate wine drinking has demonstrated a protective effect on the risk of developing several types of cancer. Objective To analyze the association between wine consumption and the risk of developing cancer. Methods We searched the MEDLINE (through PubMed), Scopus, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases to conduct this systematic review and meta-analysis. Pooled relative risks (RRs) were calculated using the DerSimonian and Laird methods. I2 was used to evaluate inconsistency, the τ2 test was used to assess heterogeneity, and The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale were applied to evaluate the risk of bias. This study was previously registered in PROSPERO, with the registration number CRD42022315864. Results Seventy-three studies were included in the systematic review, and 26 were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled RR for the effect of wine consumption on the risk of gynecological cancers was 1.03 (95% CI: 0.99, 1.08), that for colorectal cancer was 0.92 (95% CI: 0.82, 1.03), and that for renal cancer was 0.92 (95% CI: 0.81, 1.04). In general, the heterogeneity was substantial. Conclusion The study findings reveal no association between wine consumption and the risk of developing any type of cancer. Moreover, wine drinking demonstrated a protective trend regarding the risk of developing pancreatic, skin, lung, and brain cancer as well as cancer in general.

The search encompassed articles published up to 5/2023. Additionally, manual searches of reference lists of selected articles and pertinent review papers were conducted to ensure comprehensive coverage of relevant studies. Studies were included if they provided insights into clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of CPIs in treating advanced gastroesophageal cancers. Relevant case reviews and trials exploring combination therapies involving CPIs were also considered. Articles discussed in the utilization of predictive biomarkers were included to assess their impact on treatment outcomes. Data from selected studies were extracted to inform the narrative review. Key findings were summarized, including clinical trial designs, patient populations, treatment regimens, response rates, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events. The role of predictive biomarkers, particularly PD-L1 expression and MSI status, in identifying patients likely to benefit from CPIs was critically evaluated based on study results. Ongoing clinical trials investigating novel combination strategies and exploring the broader scope of CPIs in gastroesophageal cancers were also highlighted. The collected data were synthesized to provide a comprehensive overview of the crucial clinical trials that have contributed to the approval of CPIs for advanced gastroesophageal cancers. The role of CPIs in different lines of therapy, including first-line regimens, was discussed. Furthermore, the evolving landscape of predictive biomarkers was examined, emphasizing their potential significance in optimizing patient selection for CPI therapy. Ongoing clinical trials were reviewed to underscore the continuous efforts in expanding treatment options and improving patient outcomes in the future.

Cardia and non-cardia gastric cancer risk associated with Helicobacter pylori in East Asia and the West: A systematic review, meta-analysis, and estimation of population attributable fraction. Helicobacter 2023; 28:e12950. [PMID: 36645649 DOI: 10.1111/hel.12950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the region-specific relative risk of cardia/non-cardia gastric cancer (CGC/NCGC) associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and quantify its contribution to gastric cancer burden using population attributable fraction (PAF). METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central databases were searched by two reviewers until April 20, 2022. The association between H. pylori infection and NCGC/CGC was assessed using pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). PAF was calculated using the formula of H. pylori prevalence and the pooled OR. RESULTS One hundred and eight studies were included. A significant association was observed between H. pylori infection and NCGC in East Asia (OR, 4.36; 95% CI: 3.54-5.37) and the West (OR, 4.03; 95% CI: 2.59-6.27). Regarding CGC, a significant association was found only in East Asia (OR, 2.86; 95% CI: 2.26-3.63), not in the West (OR, 0.80; 95% CI: 0.61-1.05). For studies with a follow-up time of ≥10 years, pooled ORs for NCGC and CGC in East Asia were 5.58 (95% CI: 4.08-7.64) and 3.86 (95% CI: 2.69-5.55), respectively. Pooled OR for NCGC was 6.80 (95% CI: 3.78-12.25) in the West. PAFs showed that H. pylori infection accounted for 71.2% of NCGC, 60.7% of CGC in East Asia, and 73.2% of NCGC in the West. CONCLUSIONS Gastric cancer burden associated with H. pylori infection exhibits important geographical differences. Prolonged follow-up period could overcome the underestimation of the magnitude of the association between H. pylori infection and CGC/NCGC. Customized strategies for H. pylori screening and eradication should be implemented to prevent gastric cancer.

Association between soy products, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products and gastric cancer risk in Helicobacter pylori-infected subjects: a case-control study in Korea. Nutr Res Pract 2023; 17:122-134. [PMID: 36777798 PMCID: PMC9884584 DOI: 10.4162/nrp.2023.17.1.122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2021] [Revised: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Consumption of certain protective foods may help inhibit Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) associated gastric pathologies. However, studies conducted to assess the efficacy of protective foods in H. pylori-infected subjects are either limited or inconsistent. This study evaluated the association of individual or a combination of protective foods on the incidence of gastric cancer (GC) in H. pylori-positive subjects through a case-control study. MATERIALS/METHODS Subjects aged 20-79 years were selected from 2 hospitals between December 2002 and September 2006. In total, 134 patients and 212 controls tested positive for H. pylori infection. Among these, we included 82 pairs of cases and controls matched by sex, age (± 5 years), enrollment period (± 1 years), and hospital. RESULTS A higher intake of soy products was associated with a significantly lower risk of GC than a lower intake of soy products (odds ratio [OR] = 0.37, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.14-0.96). Additionally, a higher fruit intake resulted in a significantly lower risk of GC than a lower fruit intake (OR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.13-0.94). A combination of food groups was evaluated, and a lower risk of GC was observed with a high intake of both soy products and fruits (OR = 0.20, 95% CI = 0.06-0.67), high intake of soy and dairy products (OR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.10-0.78) and high intake of fruits and dairy products (OR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.09-0.83). CONCLUSIONS A high intake of soy products or fruits was associated with a lower risk of GC. A combination of soy products or fruits with dairy products was associated with a lower risk of GC. A balanced intake of soy products, fruits, and dairy products may help reduce GC risk.

Survival Outcomes of Hepatectomy in Gastric Cancer Liver Metastasis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12020704. [PMID: 36675632 PMCID: PMC9861719 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12020704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Gastric cancer liver metastasis (GCLM) is a contraindication for surgical treatment in current guidelines. However, the results of recent studies are questioning this paradigm. We assessed survival outcomes and their predictors following hepatectomy for GCLM in a systematic review of studies published from 2000 to 2022 according to PRISMA guidelines. We identified 42,160 references in four databases. Of these, 55 articles providing data from 1990 patients fulfilled our criteria and were included. We performed a meta-analysis using random-effects models to assess overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) at one, three, and five years post-surgery. We studied the impact of potential prognostic factors on survival outcomes via meta-regression. One, three, and five years after surgery, OS was 69.79%, 34.79%, and 24.68%, whereas DFS was 41.39%, 23.23%, and 20.18%, respectively. Metachronous presentation, well-to-moderate differentiation, small hepatic tumoral size, early nodal stage, R0 resection, unilobar compromisation, and solitary lesions were associated with higher overall survival. Metachronous presentation, smaller primary tumoral size, and solitary metastasis were linked to longer DFS. The results of our meta-analysis suggest that hepatectomy leads to favorable survival outcomes in patients with GCLM and provides data that might help select patients who will benefit most from surgical treatment.

Abstract
Globally, gastrointestinal cancers represent more than one-fourth of all cancer incidence and one-third of cancer-related mortality. Although there has been much progress in screening colorectal cancer, the prognosis of other gastrointestinal cancers tends to be poor. The highest burden of gastrointestinal cancers, including stomach, liver, oesophageal and gallbladder cancers, was observed in regions in East Asia. The increasing burden of gastrointestinal cancers in East Asian regions is related to population growth, ageing and the westernization of lifestyle habits in this region. Furthermore, the rising incidence of young-onset colorectal cancer is an emerging trend in East Asia. This Review provides a comprehensive and updated summary of the epidemiology of gastrointestinal cancers in East Asia, with emphasis on comparing their epidemiology in East Asia with that in Western regions, and highlights the major risk factors and implications for prevention. Overall, to optimally reduce the disease burden incurred by gastrointestinal cancers in East Asian regions, a concerted effort will be needed to modify unhealthy lifestyles, promote vaccination against the hepatitis virus, control Helicobacter pylori, liver fluke and hepatitis virus infections, increase the uptake rate of colorectal cancer screening, enhance detection of early cancers and their precursors, and improve cancer survivorship through an organized rehabilitation programme.

Willingness to Undergo Gastroscopy for Early Gastric Cancer Screening and Its Associated Factors During the COVID-19 Pandemic - A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study in China. Patient Prefer Adherence 2023; 17:505-516. [PMID: 36883051 PMCID: PMC9985891 DOI: 10.2147/ppa.s400908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/18/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the willingness of Chinese adults aged 40 years and older to undergo gastroscopy for gastric cancer (GC) screening during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The secondary purpose was to identify factors influencing willingness to undergo gastroscopy. METHODS A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted in selected cities and counties from nine provinces in China using a multi-stage sampling approach. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to determine the independent predictors of willingness to undergo gastroscopy. RESULTS This study included 1900 participants, and 1462 (76.95%) responded that they would undergo gastroscopy for GC screening. Participants of younger age, from the eastern region, living in an urban area, with higher educational levels, with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, or with precancerous stomach lesions, were more willing to undergo gastroscopy. The top four reasons to reject gastroscopy were fear of pain or discomfort, worry about a possible devastating test result, no symptoms in self-feeling, and concern about the high expense. Of all those who would reject gastroscopy for GC screening, 36.76% (161/438) would be willing to accept painless gastroscopy, while 24.89% (109/438) would be willing to undergo gastroscopy screening if higher medical reimbursement rates were available. Participants considered that gastroscopy was a relatively fearful and unknown procedure, accompanied by high risks and benefits compared to all other life events. CONCLUSION In general, 76.95% of participants over 40 years old were willing to undergo gastroscopy for GC screening in China during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants' willingness to undergo GC screening increased due to medical resource constraints and increased interest in their health. Individuals with H. pylori infection are more likely to undergo gastroscopy, whereas old age individuals, those with lower educational levels, and those living in rural areas are more likely to reject gastroscopy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The prognosis of diffuse-type gastric cancer (DGC) is poorer than that of intestinal type, but S-1 is a potential treatment option in DGC. This study explored the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended dose for phase II study (RP2D) of nab-paclitaxel combined with S-1 (AS regimen) as adjuvant chemotherapy in stage III DGC. METHODS Patients with stage III DGC were recruited into this phase I dose-escalation study between July 2019 and June 2020 in Zhongshan Hospital. Nab-paclitaxel and S-1 (80-120 mg/day, d1-14, q3w) were administrated for 6 cycles, and then 8 cycles of S-1 monotherapy were applied. The patients received nab-paclitaxel at 180, 220, or 260 mg/m2 according to the 3 + 3 design based on dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). The primary endpoint was RP2D. Secondary endpoints were the 1-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate and adverse events (AEs). RESULTS One case experienced DLT in 180-mg/m2 dose group, subsequently three additional subjects were enrolled. DLT was not observed in the 220- and 260-mg/m2 dose groups (both n = 3). Therefore, the MTD has not reached, and the RP2D of nab-paclitaxel would be 260 mg/m2 . Five participants showed progressive disease, with three and two participants in the 180- and 220-mg/m2 dose groups, respectively. The 6-, 12-, and 18-month DFS rates were 100%, 63.6%, and 50.9%, respectively. The most frequently observed AEs were neutropenia (83.3%) and leukopenia (66.7%). CONCLUSION The RP2D of nab-paclitaxel as adjuvant chemotherapy in DGC was 260 mg/m2 . The AS regimen had a tolerable AE profile in stage III DGC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infects ~ 35% of Americans and can lead to serious sequelae if left untreated. Growing evidence indicates that clarithromycin-based therapies (CBT) are becoming increasingly ineffective for treating H. pylori infection. RHB-105 was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2019 for the treatment of H. pylori infection in adults. AIMS The primary aim of this study was to assess prescribing patterns and associated cure rates of physician-directed therapy for subjects with persistent H. pylori infection after participation in one of two Phase 3 clinical trials (ERADICATE Hp and ERADICATE Hp2). METHODS We reviewed study reports to identify specific physician-directed regimens selected for subjects whose H. pylori infection was not eradicated. We also conducted a CYP2C19 genotype analysis of subjects who were prescribed CBT. Finally, we analyzed real-world H. pylori retail prescription data and compared these with to the physician-directed therapies in the clinical trials studies. RESULTS Following ERADICATE Hp, CBT was prescribed for 27/31 (87%) subjects achieving a 59.3% cure rate. Following ERADICATE Hp2, CBT was prescribed for 48/94 (51%) subjects achieving a 60.4% cure rate. Rapid CYP2C19 metabolizers (2/11) had a cure rate of 18.2% with CBT. Real-world prescription data from IQVIA showed more than 80% of prescriptions for H. pylori infection were for CBT. CONCLUSIONS Rates of CBT use persist despite sub-optimal eradication rates. Since RHB-105 does not contain clarithromycin, it can be prescribed first-line without concerns about clarithromycin resistance or CYP2C19 status. NCT03198507 & NCT01980095.

Chronic manifestations of Chagas disease present as disabling and life-threatening conditions affecting mainly the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems. Although meaningful research has outlined the different molecular mechanisms underlying Trypanosoma cruzi’s infection and the host-parasite interactions that follow, prompt diagnosis and treatment remain a challenge, particularly in developing countries and also in those where the disease is considered non-endemic. This review intends to present an up-to-date review of the parasite’s life cycle, genetic diversity, virulence factors, and infective mechanisms, as well as the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment options of the main chronic complications of Chagas disease.

Abstract
The Indian Society of Gastroenterology (ISG) felt the need to organize a consensus on Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and to update the current management of H. pylori infection; hence, ISG constituted the ISG's Task Force on Helicobacter pylori. The Task Force on H. pylori undertook an exercise to produce consensus statements on H. pylori infection. Twenty-five experts from different parts of India, including gastroenterologists, pathologists, surgeons, epidemiologists, pediatricians, and microbiologists participated in the meeting. The participants were allocated to one of following sections for the meeting: Epidemiology of H. pylori infection in India and H. pylori associated conditions; diagnosis; treatment and retreatment; H. pylori and gastric cancer, and H. pylori prevention/public health. Each group reviewed all published literature on H. pylori infection with special reference to the Indian scenario and prepared appropriate statements on different aspects for voting and consensus development. This consensus, which was produced through a modified Delphi process including two rounds of face-to-face meetings, reflects our current understanding and recommendations for the diagnosis and management of H. pylori infection. These consensus should serve as a reference for not only guiding treatment of H. pylori infection but also to guide future research on the subject.

Chronic Hepatitis Virus Infection Are Associated With High Risk of Gastric Cancer: A Systematic Review and Cumulative Analysis. Front Oncol 2021; 11:703558. [PMID: 34307172 PMCID: PMC8297975 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.703558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Mounting studies demonstrated both chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection might be associated not only with an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma but also extrahepatic malignancies, i.e., gastric cancer (GC). However, a quantitative result addressing the association between HBV/HCV infection and GC development is scarce. A systematic search to identify the eligible studies was performed in four databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and the PsychINFO. The relationship between HBV/HCV infection and the risk of GC was quantified by calculating the hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). More methodologies of this study were available in the PROSPERO (ID: CRD42021243719). Thirteen included studies involving 7,027,546 individuals (mean age, 42.6-71.9 years) were enrolled in the pooled analyses. Two articles provided the clinical data of both HBV and HCV infections. The proportion of high methodological quality studies was 76.9% (10/13). Synthetic results from 10 eligible studies of HBV showed that HBV infection was associated with a significantly higher risk of GC when compared with the healthy controls without HBV infection (pooled HR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.08–1.47; P = 0.003; heterogeneity, I2 = 89.3%; P< 0.001). In line with this finding, the combined effect derived from five included studies of HCV also supported a significant positive association between chronic HBV infection and GC development (pooled HR, 1.88; 95% CI, 1.28–2.76; P = 0.001; heterogeneity, I2 = 74.7%; P = 0.003). In conclusion, both chronic HBV and HCV infections were related to a high risk of GC. The plausible mechanisms underlying such association might be correlated to HBV/HCV infection-induced persistent inflammation, immune dysfunction, and cirrhosis.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) remains a leading cause of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide. Outcomes from GC remain poor, especially in Western nations where cancer diagnosis is usually at advanced stages where curative resection is not possible. By contrast, nations of East Asia have adopted methods of population-level screening with improvements in stage of diagnosis and survival. In this review, the authors discuss the epidemiology of GC in Western populations, highlight at-risk populations who may benefit from screening, overview screening modalities, and discuss promising approaches to early GC detection.

Abstract
PURPOSE Population-based Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) screening and eradication for adults in areas with a high incidence of gastric cancer have been shown to be effective. The current status of H. pylori screening for young people, however, has not been sufficiently evaluated. METHODS A systematic review of population-based H. pylori screening of young people was performed using four databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and ICHUSHI) and independently evaluated by two investigators. Studies were evaluated with regard to the country, region, screening method, target age, number of screened people, and rate of positive screening. RESULTS From 3231 studies, 39 studies were included (14 English original studies published in peer-review journals, 6 Japanese original studies, and 19 conference reports). These studies originated from 10 countries, with the largest number stemming from Japan (29 studies) followed by Germany (2 studies). Screening was performed using the urea breath test, blood antibodies, stool antigens, and urine antibodies. Five countries used the breath test as the first screening method, five used blood samples, two used stool antigens, and only Japan used urinary tests. CONCLUSION Screening for H. pylori in young people was reviewed based on reports from several countries, and findings suggest that local authorities considering screening for H. pylori in young people need to scrutinize the age and potential methods. Further research is required to determine the effectiveness of mid- to long-term H. pylori screening for young people.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evidence regarding the association between alcohol use and gastric cancer (GC) has been inconsistent. METHODS Adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2010 were included. Multivariable regression was used to assess the association between GC and heavy alcohol use (≥5 alcoholic drinks daily). RESULTS Of 470,168 individuals surveyed, 342 had a history of GC. Heavy alcohol use was associated with GC (odds ratio 3.13, 95% confidence interval 1.15-8.64) on multivariable analysis. DISCUSSION This is the largest study to our knowledge to demonstrate an association between heavy alcohol use and GC in the United States.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During surgery for gastric cancer, peritoneal lavage using warm distilled water can cause temporary hemodynamic changes.
AIM To examine the associations between changes in heart rate and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
METHODS This was a prospective observational study of patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy and peritoneal hypotonic lavage at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from March 2018 to March 2019. Related SNPs were selected, and the verified exons were analyzed. Heart rate and blood pressure (BP) were measured before and after lavage. The patients were grouped as heart rate change ≥ 30% vs < 30%. Comparison and regression analyses of the selected SNPs were performed between the two groups.
RESULTS According to the inclusion/exclusion criteria, 194 patients were included in the analysis. Of these patients, 138 were male, with a mean age of 65.9 ± 0.8 years, and 56 were female, with a mean age of 65.0 ± 1.3 years. Heart rate dropped by 0%-10% in 65 participants, by 10%-15% in 29, by 15%-20% in 23, by 20%-50% in 39, by 50%-100% in four, six had a cardiac arrest, and 28 had an increase in heart rate. Considering the possible impact of exonic SNPs on the phenotypes, TEP1 (rs938886), TEP1 (rs1713449), and RECQL5 (rs820196) were analyzed. The haplotype analysis suggested that the haplotypes CTT [odds ratio (OR) = 2.018, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.012-4.025, P = 0.0430] and GCC (OR = 2.293, 95%CI: 1.174-4.477, P = 0.0131) of TEP1 (rs938886), TEP1 (rs1713449), and RECQL5 (rs820196) increased the risk of a drop in heart rate > 30%.
CONCLUSION The TEP1 (rs938886), TEP1 (rs1713449), and RECQL5 (rs820196) SNPs were associated with changes in heart rate ≥ 30% during intraperitoneal lavage using distilled water after gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Abstract
Chronic acid-biliary reflux and Helicobacter pylori infection are instrumental environmental drivers of cancer initiation and progression in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Remarkably, although these environmental carcinogens are quite dissimilar, the tumour progression cascade these carcinogens engender is highly comparable. For this reason, studies of malignant progression occurring at the anatomic borderland between the oesophagus and the stomach have traditionally lumped junctional adenocarcinomas with either oesophageal adenocarcinoma or gastric adenocarcinoma. Whilst studies have revealed remarkable epidemiological and genetic similarities of these cancers and their associated premalignant conditions, these works have also revealed some key differences. This highlights that further scientific effort demands a dedicated focus on the understanding of the cell-cell interaction between the epithelium and the local microenvironment in this anatomic region. We here review available evidence with regards to tumour progression occurring at the gastro-oesophageal junction and contrast it with available data on cancer evolution in the metaplastic oesophagus and distal stomach.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection is considered a risk factor of GIT diseases, e.g., gastric and duodenal ulcers and gastric carcinomas. It is transmitted through feco/oral route and can be diagnosed by many methods, e.g., stool antigen test (SAT). Metabolic syndrome (MET S) is considered a circle of metabolic derangements that can cause some complications as ischemic changes and heart diseases. Metabolic syndrome may also cause nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) resulting in liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and HCC.
Results
The study included 300 subjects recruited from Obesity Clinic and Diabetes & Endocrinology Unit, Specialized Medical Hospital, Mansoura University. Two hundred of metabolic syndrome patients were subdivided into two groups according to the presence or absence of NAFLD, in addition to 100 subjects not having metabolic syndrome and served as control group. We found that HP infection is more frequent in MET S with NAFLD patients (73%) than in MET S without NAFLD (47%) with (P value < 0.001) emphasizing that HP infection increases the risk of NAFLD development in patients with MET S.
The study proved that HP infection is associated with increased degree of fibrosis significantly (P value < 0.001) with progression to marked fibrosis which may complicate with NASH with over all predictive value of 75% especially in patients with hyperglycemia.
Conclusions
Our findings show that a circle of metabolic abnormalities seems to be attributed to HP infection in MET S patients increasing the risk of fatty liver and progression to marked fibrosis especially with coexistent hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and upper body obesity.
Diagnosis and early eradication of HP infection will help in decreasing metabolic disturbances and possibility of NAFLD, and protect against marked fibrosis progression.

Abstract
Ulcer disease in excluded segments after Roux-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is rare but can evolve into a life-threatening situation. The excluded segments exhibit a different behavior from that of non-altered anatomy; perforated ulcers do not result in pneumoperitoneum or free fluid, and therefore must be met with a low threshold for surgical exploration. The anatomical changes after RYGB impede routine access to the remnant stomach and duodenum. There are various options to address bleeding or perforated ulcers. While oversewing and drainage preserves the anatomy and forgoes resection, remnant gastrectomy offers a definitive solution. The importance of traditional risk factors such as smoking or use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is unclear. Eradication of Helicobacter pylori and secondary prophylaxis with proton-pump inhibitors is advisable, albeit in double-dose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a lack of reports on the awareness of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) prevention and treatment in the general Chinese population. And whether the knowledge level will affect their action toward screening was unknown. This study aimed to conduct a national survey on the knowledge, attitudes, and practice regarding H pylori infection in Chinese physicians and the public. METHODS This was an Internet-based survey of the general Chinese population and Chinese physicians from different specialties, carried out from January to February 2019. Both surveys (general population's and physicians') included questions to assess the knowledge and attitudes toward H pylori and its action. RESULTS A total of 3211 people and 546 physicians were enrolled. In the population, the proportion of subjects who answered correctly to all questions about H pylori's infectivity was only 16%, and that for H pylori's harmfulness and that for H pylori preventive measures were 35% and 43.6%, respectively. In general, physicians had a better understanding of H pylori's harmfulness (83.9%) than the other population. The vast majority of the surveyed population (87.0%) and physicians (82.2%) supported a national H pylori screening plan to prevent gastric cancer. The support ratio paralleled with the overall knowledge level. Unexpectedly, gastroenterologists tend to have a relatively low support rate for H pylori screening than non-gastroenterologists (58.2% vs 84.2%, P < .001), which may be related to consideration of heavy medical burden (67.3%). CONCLUSIONS The general population in China has relatively insufficient awareness of H pylori, which is incompatible with the highly infectious status. More works on health education are needed to improve the knowledge of this gastric pathogen.

Abstract
The Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society developed the Guideline for Endoscopic Diagnosis of Early Gastric Cancer based on scientific methods. Endoscopy for the diagnosis of early gastric cancer has been acknowledged as a useful and highly precise examination, and its use has become increasingly more common in recent years. However, the level of evidence in this field is low, and it is often necessary to determine recommendations based on expert consensus only. This clinical practice guideline consists of the following sections to provide the current guideline: [I] Risk stratification of gastric cancer before endoscopic examination, [II] Detection of early gastric cancer, [III] Qualitative diagnosis of early gastric cancer, [IV] Diagnosis to choose the therapeutic strategy for gastric cancer, [V] Risk stratification after endoscopic examination, and [VI] Surveillance of early gastric cancer.

Abstract
As in other organ systems, immunohistochemistry (IHC) serves as an ancillary diagnostic tool for a wide variety of neoplastic and non-neoplastic disorders, including infections, work-up of inflammatory conditions, and subtyping neoplasms of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In addition, IHC is also used to detect a variety of prognostic and predictive molecular biomarkers for carcinomas of the GI tract. The purpose of this review is to highlight the use of IHC in common diagnostic scenarios throughout the tubular GI tract. The clinical indication and guidelines for performing IHC for detecting Helicobacter pylori is discussed along with role of gastrin and neuroendocrine markers in the diagnosis of autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis. The major portion of this review discusses the use of IHC in the diagnostic workup of malignant neoplasms of the GI tract, such as adenocarcinoma versus squamous cell carcinoma, workup of poorly differentiated malignant neoplasms, and evaluation of uncommon gastric neoplasms (alpha-feto protein-producing carcinomas) and switch/sucrose-nonfermenting complex-deficient carcinomas. Lastly, localization of neuroendocrine tumors of unknown origin to aid clinical management, as well as HPV-driven anal neoplasia and IHC in the workup of basaloid anal neoplasms are also reviewed.

Abstract
Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) is a known premalignant condition of the human stomach along the pathway to gastric cancer (GC). Histologically, GIM represents the replacement of normal gastric mucosa by mucin-secreting intestinal mucosa. Helicobacter pylori infection is the most common etiologic agent of GIM development worldwide. The prevalence of GIM is heterogeneous among different regions of the world and correlates with the population endemicity of H. pylori carriage, among other environmental factors. GC remains the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally. GIM is usually diagnosed by upper endoscopy with biopsy, and histologic scoring systems have been developed to risk-stratify patients at highest risk for progression to GC. Several recent endoscopic imaging modalities may improve the optical detection of GIM and early GC. Appropriate surveillance of GIM may be cost effective and represents an opportunity for the early diagnosis and therapy of GC. Certain East Asian nations have established population-level programs for the screening and surveillance of GIM; guidelines regarding GIM surveillance have also recently been published in Europe. By contrast, few data exist regarding the appropriateness of surveillance of GIM in the United States. In this review, we discuss the pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of GIM with an emphasis on the role of appropriate endoscopic surveillance.

Abstract
Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide. Gastrointestinal cancers account for approximately one-third of the total global cancer incidence and mortality. Historically, the mechanisms of tumour initiation and progression in the gastrointestinal tract have been studied using cancer cell lines in vitro and animal models. Traditional cell culture methods are associated with a strong selection of aberrant genomic variants that no longer reflect the original tumours in terms of their (metastatic) behaviour or response to therapy. Organoid technology has emerged as a powerful alternative method for culturing gastrointestinal tumours and the corresponding normal tissues in a manner that preserves their genetic, phenotypic and behavioural traits. Importantly, accumulating evidence suggests that organoid cultures have great value in predicting the outcome of therapy in individual patients. Herein, we review the current literature on organoid models of the most common gastrointestinal cancers, including colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, oesophageal cancer, liver cancer and pancreatic cancer, and their value in modelling tumour initiation, metastatic progression and therapy response. We also explore the limitations of current organoid models and discuss how they could be improved to maximally benefit basic and translational research in the future, especially in the fields of drug discovery and personalized medicine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have revealed the associations between H. pylori infection and various health outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the strength and breadth of evidence on the associations. DESIGN Umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. SETTING No settings. PARTICIPANTS No patients involved. DATA SOURCES Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library Databases, CNKI, VIP database and Wangfang database from inception to February 1, 2019. OUTCOMES MEASURES Diverse diseases (such as cancer and ischaemic heart disease). RESULTS Sixty articles reporting 88 unique outcomes met the eligible criteria. 74 unique outcomes had nominal significance (p<0.05). Of the outcomes with significance, 61 had harmful associations and 13 had beneficial associations. Furthermore, 73% (64) of the outcomes exhibited significant heterogeneity . Of the these meta-analyses, 32 had moderate to high heterogeneity (I2=50%-75%) and 24 had high heterogeneity (I2>75%). Moreover, 20% exhibited publication bias (p<0.1). In addition, 97% of the methodological qualities were rated 'critically low'. 36% of the evidence qualities of outcomes were rated 'low', 56% of the evidence qualities were rated 'very low' and 8% of the evidence qualities were rated 'moderate'. H. pylori infection may be associated with an increased risk of five diseases and a decreased risk of irritable bowel syndrome. CONCLUSION Although 60 meta-analyses explored 88 unique outcomes, moderate quality evidence only existed for six outcomes with statistical significance. H. pylori infection may be associated with a decreased risk of irritable bowel syndrome and an increased risk of hypertriglyceridemia, chronic cholecystitis and cholelithiasis, gestational diabetes mellitus, gastric cancer and systemic sclerosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The typical histology of Helicobacter pylori-uninfected gastric cancer is signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) localized in the mucosal layer, but the potential of these SRCCs to invade the submucosal layer is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of SRCC in H. pylori-uninfected patient and its prevalence in diffuse-type gastric cancer (DGC) within Japan. METHODS We enrolled consecutive pure DGC patients diagnosed with the disease either localized in the mucosal layer or with submucosal invasion. H. pylori infection was investigated, and the patients were divided into three groups according to histological types: pure SRCC, SRCC with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (PDA), and pure PDA. RESULTS Of the 345 pure DGC patients, 132 (38%), 127 (37%), and 86 (25%) had pure SRCC, SRCC with PDA, and pure PDA histologies, respectively. The prevalence of H. pylori infection and the SM ratio were significantly lower in the pure SRCC group than other groups (P < 0.01). Twenty-two (6.4%) patients, including two with submucosal invasion, were negative for H. pylori and had mucosal SRCC component in the cancer lesions. Of the 259 SRCC cases (pure SRCC or SRCC + PDA), H. pylori-uninfected cases had different clinicopathological characteristics compared with H. pylori-positive cases. Particularly, the ratio of patients with submucosal invasive SRCC was significantly lower in the H. pylori-uninfected gastric cancer group than in those with H. pylori infection. CONCLUSION Helicobacter pylori-uninfected gastric cancer is not rare among pure DGC patients in Japan. SRCC in patients without H. pylori infection is less likely to be invasive.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is a human-specific pathogen, which leads to gastric pathologies including gastric cancer. It is a highly unique bacterium considered as a carcinogenic agent. H. pylori remains a major human health problem, responsible for ~90% of the gastric cancer cases. Approximately four billion individuals have been detected for H. pylori infection worldwide in 2015. At the turn of the twenty-first century, the prevalence of H. pylori has been declining in highly industrialized countries of the Western world, whereas prevalence has plateaued at a high level in developing and newly industrialized countries. However, the infection status remains high in immigrants coming from countries with high prevalence of H. pylori infection. H. pylori can be diagnosed both by invasive and non-invasive methods. Urea breath test and stool antigens detection are among the most commonly used non-invasive ones. Although the way H. pylori is transmitted remains still not fully clear, the level of contamination is strongly dependent on the familial and environmental context, with a drastic impact of living conditions with poor hygiene and sanitation. However, familial socioeconomic status is the main risk factor for H. pylori infection among children. In addition, food and water source have a high impact on the prevalence of H. pylori infection worldwide. This chapter highlights the latest knowledge in the epidemiology of H. pylori infection, its diagnosis and critical risk factors responsible for its high prevalence in some populations and geographic areas.

Abstract
PURPOSE Helicobacter pylori (HP) and Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infections induce chronic gastritis (CG) and are accepted carcinogenics of gastric cancer (GC). Our objective for this study was to determine the prevalence of these agents and clinicopathological features of GC and CG associated with the infection. PATIENTS AND METHODS A single-center cohort of 375 Peruvian patients with GC and 165 control subjects with CG were analyzed. Evaluation of HP and EBV genes was performed through quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Prevalence of HP was 62.9% in the whole population and 60.8% in the GC subset. The cagA gene was detected in 79.9%; vacAs1 and vacAm1 alleles in 41.6% and 60.7%, respectively; and concurrent expression of vacAs1 and vacAm1 in 30.4% of infected patients in the whole series. The prevalence of EBV was 14.1% in the whole population and was higher in GC (P < .001). Coinfection of HP and EBV was found in 7.8% and was also higher in GC in univariate (P < .001) and multivariate (P = .011) analyses. Infection rates of HP and EBV were not associated with a geographic location in the whole series. Few clinicopathological features have been associated with infectious status. CONCLUSION Prevalence of HP infection and virulent strains are high in the Peruvian population. Infection by EBV was more frequent in patients with GC.

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) represents the most effective means of therapeutically manipulating the gastrointestinal microbiome. Originally employed as a treatment of last-resort in patients with life-threatening Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), FMT gained widespread acceptance during the CDI epidemic, where it achieved resolution rates approaching 100%. Following our newfound appreciation for the role of the gut microbiome in both health and disease and owing to FMT's unique mechanism/s of action, FMT is rapidly advancing as an effective treatment for a number of conditions in which the gastrointestinal microbiome is thought to play a role. We review the role of FMT from its beginnings in CDI to its expansion into inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and colon cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has been introduced by since 1983 by Marshal and Warren to play the main role in the pathophysiology of gastritis and gastric ulcers. Almost half of the world population1 is infected by H. pylori. Current therapeutic regimen against H. pylori includes the use of a proton pump inhibitor plus two or more antibiotics. However, the efficacy of this regimen is decreasing mainly due to antibiotic resistance and side effects of medications. This fact has resulted in public interest in other therapeutic options and the role of probiotics merits special attention in this regard. OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of honey-derived Lactobacillus rhamnosus on H. pylori-induced gastric inflammation and gastro-intestinal infection in C57BL/6 Mice. METHODS The 24 C57BL/6 Mice were randomly divided into three groups of eight mice each. All the mice were fed with 1cc suspension containing 5*1010 CFU/ mL of ATCC43504 strains of H. pylori for 3 consecutive days, twice daily via polyethylene gavage tubes. At the end of 4th week, infection with H. pylori was confirmed with stool Ag (ELISA) and following sacrifice of one mouse from each group, histopathologic study confirmed gastritis. The groups were subjected to different therapies as stated, 1: without Bismuth (Bi), Omeprazole (Om) and L. rhamnosus prescription, 2: Bi, Om and Clarithromycin (Cl) and 3: Bi, Om plus 1cc of suspension of 109 CFU/mL of L. rhamnosus. After 2 weeks, the stool was analyzed for Ag and the mice were sacrificed for evaluation of histopathologic changes. RESULTS Treatment with L. rhamnosus group provided Zero titer of stool Ag and was associated with improved gastric inflammation in all subjects, similar to the clarithromycin group. CONCLUSION Honey-derived L. rhamnosus probiotics provides similar results as clarithromycin in terms of improvement of H. pylori infection and gastritis in C57BL/6 Mice model, without its cons of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
We aimed at evaluation of the clinicoepidemiologic data of patients with gastric carcinoma in the Egyptian Delta as regards the etiologic factors, behavior, presenting symptoms, and tumor location, grade, and stage with highlighting of the treatment modalities, survival, and prognostic factors. Three hundred cases with gastric carcinoma were enrolled, diagnosed, and treated in a tertiary oncology center in the Egyptian Delta. Data were collected as regards the etiology, presenting symptoms, family history, comorbid conditions, treatment modalities, responses, recurrences, and survival outcomes. Univariate and multivariate analyses were done to correlate the different clinicopathologic factors with the overall and disease-free survivals. Male to female ratio was 2:1. The median age was 43 years. The main tumor location was in the gastric body. Pain was the commonest presenting symptom (36%). Most of the cases were stage IV (42.0%). Only 49% of cases were operable. On multivariate analysis, age more than 60 years, performance status 3-4, high grade, diffuse type, T4 lesions, N2 and N3, and the presence of metastasis were independently associated with worse OS. We report a clinic-epidemiologic study of gastric carcinoma in the Egyptian delta; the age at presentation was a decade earlier than that recorded in the USA and Europe; most of the cases were sporadic, located mostly at the body. Most of the cases were presented at stage IV with poor response to neoadjuvant therapy with a poorer overall survival than that recorded in the USA and Europe.

Abstract
AIMS AND METHODS Our aim was to assess, in obese patients undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery, the cumulative Helicobacter pylori (HP) eradication rates by adopting Maastricht IV guidelines in areas of high clarithromycin resistance rates (CLT)-14 days concomitant first-line therapy with proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) bid, CLT 500 mg bid, metronidazole (MTZ) 500 bid, and amoxicillin (AMX) 1000 mg bid and 14 days second-line therapy with PPI bid, AMX 1000 mg bid and levofloxacin (LVF) 500 mg od. Single-center prospective study was over 4 years. Endoscopy and HP assessment (by histology or C13 urea breath test) were performed at baseline and post-treatment HP status was assessed by C13 urea breath test 4-6 weeks after the end of therapy. RESULTS Seven hundred seventy-seven consecutive HP-positive patients completed concomitant first-line treatment: 636 (81.9%) female, age 41.1 (± 10.2) years. HP was eradicated in 556 patients-71.56% (95% CI: 68.28-74.62%). In the remaining 221 patients, second-line LVF-based regimens eradicated HP in 121 patients-54.75% (95% CI: 48.16-61.18%). These results give 87.13% (95% CI: 84.58-89.31%) ITT and 89.43% (95% CI: 87.03-91.44%) PP cumulative eradication rates. Eradication rates were not significantly different by gender, age, endoscopy findings, and smoking habits. CONCLUSIONS By adopting Maastricht IV consensus quadruple concomitant first-line treatment and second-line LVF-based therapy, high cumulative HP eradication rates are achieved but still leaves around 10.6% of obese patients undergoing RYGB in need of the culture and susceptibility testing prior to third-line treatment.
