Sporadic gastric cancer; a complex interaction of genetic and environmental risk factors
Abstract:
Sporadic gastric cancer usually arises against a background of sequential mucosal changes. H. pylori superficial gastritis progresses to atrophy and intestinal metaplasia and then to dysplasia and cancer. A variety of environmental and host genetic factors influence this process and act at different stages in the pathway. Many different combinations of these risk factors may lead to cancer. Interactions also occur between environmental and genetic factors to increase or decrease their ability to influence the precancerous process. Sporadic gastric cancer is thus the consequence of complex combinations and interactions between many environmental and genetic factors.

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types
Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...
