Nutrient deficiencies (Zn,Mo,Se, Vit A)
Genetic factors
Genetic risk factors of gastric Adenocarcinoma
P53 gene - Liframeni Syndrome
APC gene down regulation
Beta Catenin upregulation - increases epithelial cell proliferation
CDH1 gene - loss of E-cadherin
BRCA2 gene
HNPCC Syndrome
Commonest site of Gastric Adenocarcinoma

Common site of gastric adenocarcinoma in Pernicious anemia
Fundus/Body
Clinical features of Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Right upper quadrant discomfort
Early/recent onset dyspepsia
Post -prandial heaviness
Abdominal pain
Weight loss
Paraneoplastic syndromes seen in Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Acanthosis nigricans - Hyperpigmentation of skin (axillary region)
Lesser Trelat sign - multiple seabouric keratosis on back and trunk
MAHA
Migratory thrombophlebitis
Metastasis of Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Hematogenous spread - Liver, lungs, ovary
Lymphogenous spread - Lymph nodes, Ovaries
Supraclavicular lymph node on left side is termed as
Virchow’s LN
Axillary lymph node on left side is termed as
Irish LN
Periumbilical skin nodules termed as
Sister Mary Joseph Nodule
Metastasis of gastric tumor to Pouch of Douglas termed as
Blumer’s Shelf
Investigation of choice in Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Endoscopy + Biopsy
Gastric Adenocarcinoma can be classified on the basis of
On basis of Morphology
Depth of invasion
Lauren’s classification
Classification of gastric Adenocarcinoma on the basis of Morphology
3 types - Exophytic growth
Flat growth
Lesion or ulcer
Classification of gastric Adenocarcinoma on the basis of depth of invasion
Early
Late
Which layer is involved in early gastric Adenocarcinoma
Mucosa/submucosa involvement
Prognosis of early gastric Adenocarcinoma
Better prognosis
Layers involved in late Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Muscle/serosa involvement
Prognosis in late Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Bad Prognosis
Best prognosis in which gastric Adenocarcinoma
Superficial spreading of stomach cancer
Lauren’s classification includes
Intestinal type
Diffuse type
In intestinal type, there is overactivity of
APC gene
Beta -Caterin
In intestinal type, tumor cell makes
Intestinal gland like pattern
Intestinal type is seen in which age group
Elderly patients
Prognosis of intestinal type Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Better prognosis
In Diffuse type gastric Adenocarcinoma, tumor cells are
Scattered
According to Lauren’s classification which type have localized tumors
Intestinal type
According to Lauren’s classification,Non-localized tumor is seen in
Diffuse type
Diffuse type gastric Adenocarcinoma affects which age group
Younger patients
Mutation seen in Diffuse type gastric Adenocarcinoma
CDH1 gene mutation - loss of E cadherin
Prognosis in diffuse type gastric Adenocarcinoma
Bad prognosis
Condition seen in diffuse type gastric Adenocarcinoma due to increased connective tissue
LINITIS PLASTICA
Treatment of gastric Adenocarcinoma
Surgical
Anticancer drugs
ECF Regime for gastric Adenocarcinoma
Epirubicine

Locations involved in GIST
Stomach > SI > LI > Esophagus
Most common site in GIST
Stomach
Rarest site in GIST
