JeanMarie Houghton, MD, PhD, an assistant professor in medicine and cancer biology at UMMS, and colleagues discovered that infection with Helicobacter felis (a bacterium related to Helicobacter plyori, which has long been understood to cause chronic inflammation and cancer in the lining of the stomach) leads to a vast influx of bone marrow-derived stem cells as the body tries to repair the damage caused by the bacterial infection. Houghton and colleagues showed that this flood of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMDCs) can actually spark stomach cancer tumors. Previous studies of H. pylori inflammation and gastric cancers have focused on damaged epithelial cells that line the stomach as the source of tumors. Houghton and colleague Timothy C. Wang, MD, formerly of UMMS and now at Columbia University Medical Center, showed that in mouse models it is the BMDCs themselves that form cancers, an unexpected development that may cause a shift in thinking about the formation and progression of such cancers.

    Extractions: From OncoLog, April 2004, Vol. 49, No. 4 Printer-friendly version Gastric Cancer Studies Focus on Prolonging Survival and Finding Molecular Markers for Targeted Therapies by Katie Prout Matias Dr. Jaffer Ajani , a professor in the Department of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology, examines computed tomography scans, an important tool in gastric cancer clinical trials. During the last century, the incidence of gastric cancer in the western hemisphere decreased dramatically with the advent of better nutrition, refrigeration, and lower rates of Helicobacter pylori infection. What used to be the number one cause of cancer-related death among U.S. men is now uncommon, with about 21,000 cases diagnosed annually in the United States. Because patients are not typically screened for gastric cancer, most cases are diagnosed at a late stage, and many patients in whom it develops die of the disease. Localized cancer The five-year overall survival rates for patients with localized gastric cancer are daunting: 78% for patients with stage Ia cancer, 58% for stage Ib, 34% for stage II, 20% for stage IIIa, and 8% for stage IIIb. Currently, the only known curative therapy for nonmetastatic gastric cancer is a gastrectomy performed by experienced surgeons. However, even with successful surgery, the five-year survival rate is approximately 35%; with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy in selected patients, the survival rate is 40%. To improve survival rates in patients with localized gastric cancer, clinicians and researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have developed a strategy for treating select patients with preoperative therapy, a practice that is still investigational, cautioned Jaffer Ajani, M.D., a professor in the Department of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology. In an ongoing clinical trial at M. D. Anderson, patients with operable gastric cancer are receiving chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery.

Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Gastric cancer currently ranks second in global cancer mortality. Most patients are either diagnosed at an advanced stage, or develop a relapse after apparently curative operation. Apart from supportive measures, systemic chemotherapy is the only treatment option available in this situation. Objectives: To assess the effect of chemotherapy versus best supportive care, combination versus single agent chemotherapy and different combination chemotherapy regimens in advanced gastric cancer. Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (The Cochrane Library Issue 1, 2004), MEDLINE and EMBASE up to February 2004 and reference lists of articles. We also contacted pharmaceutical companies as well as national and international experts. Selection criteria: Randomised controlled trials on systemic intravenous chemotherapy versus best supportive care, combination versus single agent chemotherapy and different combination chemotherapies in advanced gastric cancer.

During 199,748 person-years of follow-up, through December 1992, we identified 419 cases of gastric cancer (in 296 men and 123 women). We used Cox regression

Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the lining of the stomach. The disease usually does not cause any symptoms until the later stages, and usually, by the time stomach cancer is diagnosed, the prognosis is poor. Most people who are diagnosed with stomach cancer are over the age of 60. The disease rarely occurs before age 50, and it is more common in men than women.

Definition of Stomach Cancer: Cancer of the stomach, also called gastric cancer or gastric carcinoma, is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the tissues of the stomach. Stomach cancer can develop in any part of the stomach and may spread throughout the stomach and to other organs. It may grow along the stomach wall into the esophagus or small intestine. Grades of Stomach Cancer: Grade indicates how the cancer cells look under a microscope and how quickly they are likely to grow and spread.

99. Stomach (Gastric) Cancer
    Stomach cancers are classified according to their tissue type. Overwhelmingly, the most common type of stomach cancers are gastric adenocarcinomas,  
    http://www.cancersupportivecare.com/stomach.html
    
    Extractions: 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. Occurring much more rarely are gastric lymphomas (also referred to as

     http://www.brightsurf.com/news/nov_04/EDU_news_112904_b.php
     
     Extractions: A new study from Columbia University Medical Center finds that stomach (gastric) cancer originates from bone marrow derived stem cells (BMDC), rather than from stomach stem cells, as previously thought. 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. Wang, M.D., chief, Division of Digestive and Liver Diseases and Dorothy L. and Daniel H. Silberberg Professor of Medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons and senior author of the study. "The implications of this study may lead to new methods of diagnosis and treatment of many cancers Ð particularly those that have been linked to chronic inflammation such as stomach, esophagus, lung, pancreas, liver, etc." A common assumption among cancer specialists is that most cancers originate from tissue stem cells Ð for example, the gastric stem cells contained in the lining of the stomach. However, the researchers suspected BMDC may contribute to the development or progression of cancer because they are frequently recruited to sites of tissue injury and inflammation, e.g., a typical site for cancer development.
