Abstract:
Incidence rates for the most common cancers of the gastrointestinal tract are presented for the 5 geographic regions in South Louisiana for the period 1983-1986. The risk of colorectal cancer, the most frequent GI cancer in males and females, is uniformly lower in these regions of South Louisiana than in other areas of the United States. Gastric cancer rates are significantly high in black males, as are pancreatic cancer rates in whites of both sexes compared to national rates.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
