Gi Flashcards
Gastric adenoma risk
Chronic gastritis
- H pylori
- meds
- alcohol
Age >50
Gastric adenome px
Premalignant
Good it caught at this stage
Risk gastric adenoma →adenocarcinome
Flat lesion
Large > 2 cm
Highly dysplastic
-Irregular_architecture
_Cytologic atypia
Gastric Adenocarcinoma genes
-50%e-cadherin CDH1 LOF
Fap
β - catenin LOF dt-microsatellite_instability or hyper methylation
Tp53
Mx h pylori’s → cancer
Ros, proinflammatory cytokines
Decades
Virulence factor CagA → unregulated growth - not presentin all h. Pylori
Mx EBV → gastric c
~10% of gastric tumors
Poorly defined Mx
Tp53 mutation
Lymphocytic infiltrate
Lifestyle fx gastric cancer
Smoking
Alcohol
Obesity
High salt
Nitrate consumption - processed meatand fish
Birth outside US.
Asian, South American East Europe
Diffuse type gastric cancer
Younger pt
Fewer risk fx
Less likely precursor lesion
More likely e-cadherin orβ - catenin
Massintestinal type gastric AC
Distal stomach
Exophytic
Heaped up borders
Central ulceration
Typically mucousgland dysplasia
Diffuse type gastric Ac path
No focal site of origin
Infiltrative pattern
Excess collagen, fibroblasts 7 “ leather bottle” stomach
“Iceberg” small apparent mass bc deep infiltration
Tx gastric cancers
Total orpartial gastrectomy
Chemo in late stage, survival <20%
Malt lymphoma
Most often in stomach
H pylori → B cell proliferation →acquired mutations
Malt histology
Marginal zone b-cell lymphomas.
Mature lymphocytes
Invasion and destruction of gastric glands
Malt px/tx
W eradication of H pylori ‘ crr > 70%
Often noother tx but chemo, radiation, surgery in advanced
