The diagnosis of atrophic gastritis (AG) and intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a crucial screening and surveillance strategy for gastric adenocarcinoma....
The main objective was to assess the performance of endoscopic diagnosis of gastric precancerous conditions in a real‑life scenario....
A total of 2099 gastroscopies with biopsy to evaluate gastritis performed in 3 endoscopic centers from March 2018 to October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Endoscopic data regarding gastritis, at...
The endoscopic diagnosis sensitivity was 69.5% for AG and 19.4% for IM. The specificity of endoscopic detection of AG was 69.5% and of IM, 97.9%. The endoscopic detection of gastritis was a risk facto...
The application of the age threshold with or without an endoscopic diagnosis of gastritis could reduce the number of mapping biopsies to detect advanced stages of atrophic gastritis or dysplasia with ...
Precancerous conditions for esophageal (EA) and gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) are Barrett's esophagus (BE) and atrophic gastritis (AG), respectively. Their surveillance is crucial for the detection of e...
The study aimed to assess whether one‑timeesophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in search for precancerous conditions would be effective in the population with low‑to‑moderate esophageal and gastric cancer...
A total of 5984 individuals who underwent diagnostic EGD in 3 endoscopic centers, from March 2018 to October 2019, were analyzed to assess the age of occurrence of precancerous conditions and cancers....
In comparison with individuals below 40 years old, the risk of EA and GA diagnosis increased at the age of 60 to 64 years (odds ratio [OR], 12.1; 95% CI, 1.5-98.6), gastric and esophageal dysplasia at...
One‑time EGD in search for precancerous conditions could be potentially applicable in individuals between 40 and 69 years of age....
Gastric precancerous conditions such as atrophic gastritis (AG) and intestinal metaplasia (IM) are considered independent risk factors for gastric cancer (GC). The suitable endoscopic monitoring inter...
Totally, 957 AG/IM patients who satisfied the criteria for evaluation between 2010 and 2020 were included in the study. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine the risk factors for...
During follow-up, 28 AG/IM patients developed gastric neoplasia lesions including gastric low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN) (0.7%), HGIN (0.9%), and GC (1.3%). Multivariate analysis identifie...
In our study, HGIN/GC was present in 2.2% of AG/IM patients. In AG/IM patients with extensive lesions, a 1-2-year surveillance interval is recommended for early detection of HIGN/GC in AG/IM patients ...
Gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM), which denotes conversion of gastric mucosa into an intestinal phenotype, can occur in all regions of the stomach, including cardiac, fundic, and pyloric mucosa. Si...
Current data indicate that supplements such as folic acid and vitamin B may be beneficial in halting and even reversing atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and intraepithelial neoplasia, general...
Using a systematic review method, consider randomized controlled trials (RCT), including clinical trial reports, unpublished clinical trial data, and conference papers. The search time was been set fr...
Of the 225 records identified, 13 studies involving 1252 patients (including 11 clinical controlled trials, 1 conference paper report and 1 unpublished research report) met the inclusion conditions. F...
Our research showed that folic acid supplementation brings benefits in preventing and even reversing the progression of GPC in the stomach, and provided evidence for its potential clinical use in mana...
The logn number of our Meta-anlysis on PROSPERO is CRD420223062....
Little is known about the effect of sleep quality on the risk of precancerous conditions of colorectal cancer (PCRC). The role of psychological factors, including stress, resilience, and social suppor...
Fifty-one patients with PCRC were compared with two control groups during the previous year in a retrospective case-control analysis: 74 patients with colorectal cancer and 145 healthy controls. Parti...
Increased risk of PCRC was associated with sleep disturbance≥2 and the negative factors of stress ≥14 compared with healthy controls. Decreased risk of PCRC was associated with resilience ≥31 and fami...
Physicians should be aware of the strong association between sleep disturbance≥2 and the increased risk for PCRC and explain the need for colonoscopy in patients with sleep disturbance≥2....
Global cervical cancer incidence and mortality rank fourth in women with malignant tumors, which have been reduced by population-based cervical cancer screening. The previously used Papanicolaou cytol...
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is the precursor of multiple myeloma. This qualitative study described patient (n = 14) experiences and healthcare providers' (n = 8) opinions...
Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis....
We identified six overarching themes related to the care pathway for patients with MGUS: (1) Process of MGUS diagnosis, (2) Providers' explanations, (3) Patients' understanding, (4) Impact of the diag...
Patients with MGUS may have difficulty processing this premalignant diagnosis. Non-hematologist providers may have gaps in knowledge around specific care for patients with MGUS....
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common type of interstitial lung disease (ILD) characterized by a histopathological pattern of usual interstitial pneumonia with progressive fibrosis of...
Precancerous lesions provide insight into tumor development as well as prognostication, since distinguishing high-risk from benign disease will stratify clinical management. In a recent issue of The J...
