Palestinian officials on Wednesday denied rumors that Arafat had last week suffered a mild heart attack and explained that Arafat has been suffering from a bad case of the flu or an intestinal infection. But according to a source inside the compound, the recent working diagnosis is that Arafat is suffering from stomach cancer. Al-Jazeera TV reported Wednesday that two teams of doctors, one from Jordan and the other from Egypt, arrived in Ramallah Wednesday to treat Arafat. Abu Dhabi TV reported on Thursday that following their examination of the Palestinian leader, the Egyptian doctors "expressed concern" about the state of his health. Neither report specified his condition.

Important questions to ask your doctor Worldwide, stomach cancer (also referred to as gastric cancer) remains one of the most common forms of cancer, affecting approximately 800,000 new individuals annually. However, the rate of stomach cancer has been declining in the United States and western Europe over the past half-century, a trend which has been felt attributable in large part to changes in diet during this period of time. Interestingly, the incidence of cancers located in different portions of the stomach appear to be heading in opposite directions: while those located in the more distal (lower) portion of the stomach have been declining in incidence, there has actually been an increase in cases occurring in the proximal portion of the stomach (closer to the esophagus) and at the gastroesophageal junction (where the esophagus meets the stomach). Types Back to the Table of Contents Stomach cancers are classified according to their tissue type. Overwhelmingly, the most common type of stomach cancers are gastric adenocarcinomas , which arise from the glandular tissue lining the stomach.

[Top] Stray bone marrow cells can cause cancer-(Times of India-27/11/2004) tomach cancer may arise from stray bone marrow cells rather than stomach cells, researchers said in a study that could overthrow theories about the origins of the disease. The study challenges a long held assumption that stomach, lung and other cancers start when a cell within that tissue racks up mutations and starts to multiply uncontrollably. Timothy Wang of Columbia University wondered whether bone marrow cells which are thought to home in on infected and inflamed areas might be sparking cancers. They studied mice infected with heliobacter pylori which is an ulcer causing bacterium that triggers a large proportion of human stomach cancers. They wiped out the animal's own bone marrow with radiation and then infused them with fresh bone marrow cells. These were labeled so that they could be tracked through the body. 20 weeks later some of the bone marrow cells had homed into the stomach and divided and tumours had formed.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Several different types of cancer can occur in the stomach. The most common type is called adenocarcinoma, which refers to the way the cancer looks under the microscope. There are several types of adenocarcinoma. Because other types of gastric cancer occur much less frequently, this article focuses on adenocarcinoma. Adenocarcinoma of the stomach is a common cancer of the digestive tract worldwide, although it is relatively uncommon in the US. It occurs most frequently in men over 40 years old. The incidence of this form of gastric cancer is extremely high in Japan, Chile, and Iceland. The incidence of most types of gastric adenocarcinoma in the US has declined over the years. Experts think the decrease may be related to reduced intake of salted, cured, and smoked foods, and increased vitamin C consumption. However, the incidence of adenocarcinoma in the high part of the stomach where it connects with the esophagus has increased markedly, along with an increase in cancers of the lower esophagus. The reason for this increase is unknown.

The study, "Gastric Cancer Originating from Bone Marrow-Derived Cells" is published in the current issue of Science. "This was an unexpected finding, which may lead to a re-evaluation of current assumptions about how all cancers originate," said Timothy C.

Silberberg Professor of Medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and senior author of the study.

More Each year,millions ofAmericans are diagnosed with digestive disorders, ranging from the occasional upset stomach to the more life-threatening colorectal cancer. They encompass disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Consider the following: Sixty to 70 million persons are affected by all digestive diseases. Thirteen percent of all hospitalizations are for digestive disorders. Digestive disorders account for 50 million physician office visits per year. Digestive disorders cost $107 billion - $87 billion in direct medical costs and $20 billion in indirect costs each year. Most digestive diseases are very complex, with subtle symptoms, and the causes of many remain unknown. They may be inherited, or develop from multiple factors such as stress, fatigue, diet, or smoking. Abusing alcohol imposes the greatest risk for digestive diseases. Reaching a diagnosis requires a thorough and accurate medical history and physical examination. Some patients may need to undergo more extensive diagnostic evaluations, including laboratory tests, endoscopic procedures, and imaging techniques. Physicians who specialize in the treatment of digestive problems are called gastroenterologists.
