Early Diagnosis in Stomach Cancer Saves Lives

Abstract

Stomach cancer is one of the 5 most common cancers in the world. Its incidence varies widely across the world. Stomach Cancer is one of the main causes of cancer deaths in Japan, with the developments in endoscopy for early diagnosis in this country, early diagnosis of gastric cancer has been started by applying national screening programs. Among the causes of stomach cancer: Helicobacter pylori, atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia, eating with high-salt food and genetic predisposition. More than 90% of stomach cancers are of the adenocarcinoma type and are usually advanced at the time of diagnosis. 5-year life is 15-20% in this group. Early gastric cancer can be cured by endoscopic submucosal resection. If it is stage 2 and above stomach cancer, it is considered late. In late stomach cancer, surgical resection, chemotherapy or radiotherapy can be performed depending on the condition of the disease.

Mide Kanseri’nde Erken Tanı Hayat Kurtarır

Abstract

Mide kanseri, dünyada en sık görülen 5 kanserden biridir. Görülme sıklığı dünya genelinde büyük coğrafi farklılıklar göstermektedir. Mide Kanseri Japonya’da kanserden ölümlerin başlıca nedenlerindendir, bu ülkede erken tanı için endoskopideki gelişmelerle birlikte ulusal tarama programları uygulanarak mide kanserine erken tanı konmaya başlanmıştır. Mide kanseri sebepleri arasında: Helikobakter pilori, atrofik gastrit, intestinal metaplazi ve displazi, aşırı tuzlu gıda ile beslenme ve genetik yatkınlık gösterilmektedir. Mide kanserlerinin %90’dan fazlası adenokanser tipinde olup genellikle tanı anında ileri evrededir. 5 yıllık yaşam bu grupta %15-20’dir. Erken mide kanserinde endoskopik olarak submukozal rezeksiyon yapılarak kür sağlanabilmektedir. Eğer evre 2 ve üzeri mide kanseri ise geç kabul edilmektedir. Geç mide kanserinde hastalığın durumuna göre cerrahi rezeksiyon, kemoterapi veya radyoterapi yapılabilmektedir.
