Η ΣΧΕΣΗ ΤΩΝ ΙΣΤΟΛΟΓΙΚΩΝ ΤΥΠΩΝ ΜΕ ΒΑΣΙΚΑ ΕΠΙΔΗΜΙΟΛΟΓΙΚΑ ΧΑΡΑΚΤΗΡΙΣΤΙΚΑ ΤΟΥ ΚΑΡΚΙΝΟΥ ΤΟΥ ΣΤΟΜΑΧΟΥ ΣΤΗΝ ΕΛΛΑΔΑ

TO INVESTIGATE THE TWO MAIN HISTOLOGICAL TYPES OF GASTRIC CANCER AND CORRELATETHESE TYPES WITH THE EPIDEMIOLOGIC PARAMETERS, 448 SURGICAL SPECIMENTS OF GASTRIC CANCER COVERING THE PERIOD 1971-1981 CLASSIFIED BY MICROSCOPICAL EXAMINATION ACCORDING TO LAUREN CLASSIFICATION FOR THE GASTRIC CANCER INTO INTESTINAL,DIFFUSE AND UNCLASSIFATED. THE RESULTS OF THE CLASSIFICATION WERE LINKED WITHTHE AVAILABLE EPIDEMIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS AND THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS WERE REACHED: IN OUR SAMPLE 82% OF GASTRIC CANCER ARE INTESTINAL, 15% DIFFUSE AND 3%UNCLASSIFATED. THE RELATIVE FREQUENCY OF INTESTINAL AND DIFFUSE GASTRIC CANCER VARIES BY SEX AND IT IS IN GENERAL HIGHER AMONG MEN (85%) THAN AMONG WOMEN (76%). THE PROPORTION OF INTESTINAL CARCINOMA INCREASES WITH AGE AMONG BOTH MEN AND WOMEN. THE INCREASE OF THE RELATIVE FREQUENCY OF THE INTESTINAL TYPE BECOMES EVIDENT AFTER THE 55TH YEARS OF AGE AMONG MEN BUT AFTER 65TH YEARS OF AGEAMONG WOMEN. IN THE YOUNGER AGE GROUP (< 55) AMONG MEN, THERE IS A GRADUAL SECULAR DECREASE OF THE RELATIVE FREQUENCY OF INTESTINAL TYPE OF CANCER. INTESTINAL METAPLASIA IS MORE FREQUENTLY RELATED TO THE INTESTINAL TYPE (83%) AND LESS WITH THE DIFFUSE TYPE (57%). MOST OF THE FINDINGS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH THEINTERNATIONAL LITERATURE AND INDICATE THAT THE CLASSIFICATION BY LAUREN IS ALSO APPLICABLE IN GREECE. HOWEVER THE FACT THAT THE INTESTINAL TYPE SEEMS TO BEMORE COMMON IN GREECE POINTS AN EPIDEMIOLOGIC PECULIARITY WHICH DESERVES FURTHER INVESTIGATION.
