Understanding the pathways to oesophageal and stomach cancer diagnosis: a multi-methods approach
… timely referral are key for improving cancer outcomes, particularly for cancers such as oesophageal and gastric (stomach), where five-year survival is less than 20%. In this research, I used multiple methods to explore factors that influence timely diagnosis of these cancers from a …

COFFEE AND TEA CONSUMPTION AND GASTRIC CANCER: A POOLED ANALYSIS IN AN INTERNATIONAL CONSORTIUM OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES.
… effect of coffee and tea drinking on gastric (stomach) cancer risk. Coffee and tea are among the most popular drinks worldwide after water, and their consumption is expected to rise by an average of 17% over the next several years. The World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for …

The psychological mechanism underlying the effects of cancer information on screening intention: focusing on cancer-related affect and cognition
It has been found that cancer information exposure is positively associated with the adoption of healthy behaviors, such as cancer screening. However, the process through which cancer information positively influences cancer screening has not been fully investigated. The present study expected that …

Molecular expression and immunotherapeutic potential of the novel tumour associated antigen T21
… system, could provide opportunities to oppose cancer. A prerequisite of tumour immunotherapy lies in the identification of antigens that are distinctively expressed in cancer and can elicit immune responses in the tumour-bearing host. Testis clone 21 (T21) was first identified as a promising …

A BIOARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE COURTNEY-ANDERSON CEMETERY
… Anderson, the family patriarch who died of stomach cancer; the barium was possibly from an x-ray procedure. The other individual identified was a likely middle-aged female who had an extensive injury to both tibiae; she also wore dentures. Both individuals were quite tall. The material …

DNA testing for cancer susceptibility : the needs of Maori
An inherited predisposition to cancer may result from constitutional mutations in a number of tumour suppressor genes. Knowledge of the specific mutations with a family which render the individuals susceptible to bowel, breast or stomach cancer facilitates genetic testing. Genetic testing is a …

An assessment of gastric cancer associated factors and strategies for early case detection in patients seen at the university teaching hospital in Lusaka, Zambia.
ABSTRACT Gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer related mortality globally. It carries a very poor prognosis with a one-year survival rate of less than 15%. The main objective of this study was to investigate environmental, biological and dietary factors associated with gastric …

Identification and Characterization of the Helicobacter Pylori Vacuolating Cytotoxin Receptor
… in humans. The success of H. pylori in the harsh stomach environment is due largely to pathogen-mediated remodeling of gastric tissue by virulence factors produced by the pathogen. One of the most important virulence factors, the vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA), which is the only known exotoxin …

Operative Risk Factors in Gastric Cancer Surgery for Elderly Patients
Purpose: Gastric cancer surgery is popular operation in East Asia like Korea and Japan. Recently, population of elderly has been significantly increased. As results, surgery for gastric cancer surgery for elderly will be also increased. We evaluated the effect of old age on gastric cancer surgery, …

Identification of novel biomarkers for clinical prognosis in breast cancer
… signalling is up-regulated in numerous human cancers (e.g. stomach cancer, colon, rectal, glioblastoma, ovarian, renal, lung and breast) making S1P signalling an important candidate as a biomarker and a key player in promoting cancer progression. Several inhibitors of SK/S1P signalling pathway …

Evaluation of 18F FDG-PET/CT in Patients with Gastric Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma : Correlation with GLUT-1 Expression and Histologic Finding
PURPOSE: Gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (GSRC) is known to have low FDG uptake. The aim of the study was to investigate the relation between FDG uptake and glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) expression in GSRC patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty patients (28 men, mean age 54±12) with …

Molecular characterization of a sphingomyelin binding site in the vacuolating cytotoxin of H. pylori
The main determinants in toxin cell specificity are often interactions with surface receptors. It has recently been determined that the membrane phospholipid sphingomyelin (SM) is the primary receptor for the Helicobacter pylori vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA). While the cellular receptor has been …

PROGRESS IN CANCER INCIDENCE, MORTALITY, AND SURVIVAL
Cancer mortality has declined over the last three decades in most high-income countries reflecting improvements in cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatments, and management. However, there are persisting and substantial differences in mortality, incidence, and survival worldwide. Using the World …
