Sugarbaker Oncology Associates Specialty Section for the Treatment of Gastric Cancer Gastric cancer may be the most seriously mismanaged malignancy from a surgical perspective in the USA Paul H. Sugarbaker, M.D. April 1999 Sugarbaker Oncology Associates maintains an active program in treatment of gastric cancer. We offer the most experienced, multidisciplinary group of oncologists in the Washington D.C. area. Our treatment strategies include cytoreductive surgery, intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy and hyperthermia. Our associates have numerous publications describing our innovative treatment strategies Gastric cancer is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in the world. The United States is fortunate in that the incidence of this dreadful disease is lower than many other countries. Nevertheless, the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute reports that over 19,000 people in the United States were diagnosed with gastric cancer and over 1,100 died of the disease in 1994.* Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program public use CD-ROM (1973-1994), National Cancer Institute, DCPC, Surveillance Program, Cancer Statistics Branch, released May 1997, based on the August 1996 Submission.

Medical Services Treatment of Gastric Cancer at Mayo Clinic in Rochester (Synonyms: stomach cancer) Gastric cancer patients who come to Mayo Clinic for treatment receive comprehensive diagnosis and compassionate care. An experienced team of doctors and health-care professionals provides patients and their families with detailed answers to questions, educational materials, follow-up recommendations and genetic testing. The multidisciplinary team typically includes gastroenterologists, surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and geneticists. Gastric cancer can develop in any part of the stomach. About 21,500 new cases of gastric cancer are diagnosed each year in the United States. Experts recognize gastric cancer as the 10th leading cause of cancer death in the United States and consider about one-half of 1 percent of the population to be at risk for developing the disease. In the early and most curable stages of gastric cancer, patients usually lack symptoms. Treatment Options Common treatments for gastric cancer include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Physicians recommend these treatments alone or in combination depending on a patient's general health and the stage of the cancer. Patients with advanced disease can often participate in clinical trials that offer experimental therapies. The team works with each patient to develop an individualized, comprehensive treatment plan.

Home About Antigenics Disease Areas Gastric cancer What is gastric cancer? Most cancers of the stomach are adenocarcinomas , a type of cancer that develops in the mucosal cells that form the innermost lining of the stomach. Other types of stomach cancers include lymphomas and sarcomas . Stomach cancer can be hard to detect early. Often there are no symptoms in the early stages and, in many cases, the cancer has spread before it is found. As the disease progresses, the cancer may invade the stomach wall and/or metastasize (spread to other parts of the body). How many people get gastric cancer? Although the rate of stomach cancer in this country has declined substantially, it is still the seventh most frequent cause of cancer mortality. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2003, about 22,400 new cases will be diagnosed in the United States, and 12,100 people will die of the disease. Most people diagnosed with stomach cancer are in their 60s and 70s. What causes gastric cancer? Gastric cancer is a major cause of cancer death worldwide, especially in developing countries. Although infection with Helicobacter pylori bacteria may be a risk factor, the exact cause of stomach cancer is unknown. Certain populations appear to be at higher risk, with the incidence of gastric cancer highest in Central Europe, South America, and Asia, especially Japan. Yet over the past several decades, the frequency and mortality associated with gastric cancer have decreased significantly in the United States. For example, since 1930, the incidence has declined about fourfold to about seven cases for every 100,000 people. The reasons for this decline are unknown, but it has been proposed that it may be related to changes in diet and improved food storage.

Each year, there are nearly 6,300 new cases of stomach cancer in men and nearly 3,500 cases in women. Stomach cancer develops from cells within the stomach. More than 9 in 10 stomach cancers affect the cells of the inner lining of the stomach. Stomach cancer can spread to nearby organs in the abdomen, or, through the wall of the stomach, to distant organs and lymph nodes. Risk factors Helicobacter pylori infection Helicobacter pylori infection is a common bacterial infection of the stomach lining. It is strongly linked to stomach ulcers and research has shown that people with the infection are 4 to 5 times more likely to develop stomach cancer than those without it. Diet Eating lots of salted, cured and smoked foods may increase the risk of stomach cancer. Research also suggests that eating plenty of fibre, fruit, vegetables and antioxidant vitamins may help protect against the cancer.

We conducted a randomized trial in 80 Dutch hospitals in which we compared D1 with D2 lymph-node dissection for gastric cancer in terms of morbidity, postoperative mortality, long-term survival, and cumulative risk of relapse after surgery.

Gastric Cancer and Pernicious Anemia Appearing as Pseudoachalasia Hussein M. El-Newihi, MD, Gregory W. Dellinger, MD, Anastasios A. Mihas, MD, and James L. Achord, MD, Jackson, MS ABSTRACT: An elderly black man was admitted to our institution with macrocytic anemia, dysphagia, and significant weight loss. Results of an esophagogram were suggestive of achalasia. Gastric adenocarcinoma infiltrating the gastric cardia was seen on gastroscopy. The mode of presentation of gastric cancer in this case has not been previously reported in association with pernicious anemia. Patients with pernicious anemia are at higher risk of having gastrointestinal neoplasms than is the general population. We review the current literature and address the controversy concerning the need to subject patients with pernicious anemia to surveillance with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. CASE REPORT Fig 1 ). The mucosa of the narrowed part was smooth, and barium entered the stomach poorly and in bursts. The possibility of achalasia of the esophagus was raised. Endoscopy of the upper GI tract showed normal esophageal mucosa and a moderately dilated esophageal lumen. The gastroesophageal junction was entered with mild resistance. A retroflexed view revealed a mass in the cardia ( Fig 2 The patient had subtotal proximal gastrectomy and distal esophagectomy with primary anastomosis and splenectomy. The tumor measured 2 cm in diameter and penetrated the gastric wall through the serosa. Ten of the 12 resected lymph nodes were involved with the neoplasm. The tumor was classified as T3, N1, M0. Subsequently, the patient received 25 sessions of external radiation delivering a total of 45 Gy, as well as 2 cycles of 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin. Within 4 months, two new masses were detected in the liver on computed tomography. The patient died of pneumonia 6 months after the initial hospital admission, with evidence of metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma.
