Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the gastric histopathological findings (Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), intestinal metaplasia (IM), atrophic gastritis (AG), and dysplasia) in the patients with and without colorectal cancer (CRC).
Material and Method: Two hundred ninety five patients (160 CRC patients and 135 control individuals) were included in the study. Gastric histopathological findings of the patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy were analyzed retrospectively.
Results: H. pylori positivity and IM rates in the CRC patient group were significantly higher than the control group (58.8%&27.8% and 33.1%&19.5%, p<0.001 and p<0.012, respectively). In addition, AG, lymphoplasmocytic infiltration, and dysplasia rates were also higher in the CRC patients compared to the control group. But, they were not statistically significant (p=0.462, p=0.103, and p=0.195, respectively).
Conclusion: In our study, the frequency of H. pylori and IM in patients with CRC was higher than in the control group. Since the prevalence of H. pylori infection is high in Turkey and H. pylori-related gastric diseases may be potential risk factors for colorectal neoplasia, it is recommended that individuals in the high-risk group to be screened for colonoscopy. Also, upper GI endoscopic examination should be performed to screen for gastric premaling lesions in patients with CRC.
