Gastric polyps are morphological diagnoses that collectively refer to various types of lesions, and are commonly found by accident in gastroscopy. Gastric polyps in the broad sense are commonly referred to as abnormal structures protruding toward the gastric lumen, but are generally used only in lesions of the gastric mucosa. The incidence of gastric polyps ranged from 1 to 30% and varied by reporter, and differs by region. Fundic gland polyps were the most common in the West, while hyperplastic polyps were the most common in Korea. Gastric polyps are usually discovered by accident, but because some kinds of polyps have the potential to transform of malignant tumors, histological diagnosis is essential. There should be adequate treatment and management according to the histological results.
The incidence and prevalence of upper gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), including gastric NETs (GNETs) and duodenal NETs (DNETs), have been gradually increasing. These trends may be associated with the increased use of health checkups, which includes upper endoscopy, in conjunction with better disease recognition. However, the clinical factors associated with GNETs and DNETs remain unknown; previous studies revealed discrepancies. Recently, metabolic disorders have been indicated as potential factors that are associated with GNETs and DNETs. This review summarizes the results of previous studies and briefly introduces the results of a recent Korean multicenter study on the factors associated with GNETs and DNETs.
Background: Little is known about the news coverage of cancer risk factors in Korea. This study aimed to examine how the news media encompasses a wide array of content regarding cancer risk factors and related cancer sites, and investigate whether news coverage of cancer risk factors is congruent with the actual prevalence of the disease. Materials and Methods: A content analysis was conducted on 1,138 news stories covered during a 5-year period between 2008 and 2012. The news stories were selected from nationally representative media in Korea. Information was collected about cancer risk factors and cancer sites. Results: Of various cancer risk factors, occupational and environmental exposures appeared most frequently in the news. Breast cancer was mentioned the most in relation to cancer sites. Breast, cervical, prostate, and skin cancer were overrepresented in the media in comparison to incidence and mortality cases, whereas lung, thyroid, liver, and stomach cancer were underrepresented. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this research is the first investigation dealing with news coverage about cancer risk factors in Korea. The study findings show occupational and environmental exposures are emphasized more than personal lifestyle factors; further, more prevalent cancers in developed countries have greater media coverage, not reflecting the realities of the disease. The findings may help health journalists and other health storytellers to develop effective ways to communicate cancer risk factors.

Objectives: Yearly, annual report of cancer patients in Korea is released by National Cancer Center. But, this report is focused in all of the patients in nation. So, there is needed to modify and analyze this report to be used properly for local resident. In Ulleung island, local county and Ulleung medical center don't have cancer occurrence data of local resident until now. The aim of this analysis is to know characteristics and data of cancer patients occurrence in Ulleung island for 10 years. Methods: We are offered data of cancer patients occurrence in Ulleung island for 10 years from National Cancer Center. This data was composed of sex, address (only town level), diagnosed date, diagnosis. So, we analyze this data and compare to Korea data for same duration. Results: There were 268 patients for 10 years (1993-2002). Man were 175 about 65% and women were 93 about 35%. There were 163 in Ulleungeup about 60%, 39 in Seomyun about 14.5% and 48 in Bukmyun about 18%. There were 19 patients in unknown residence. After 1998, above 30 patients were occurred, but before 1998, below 27 patients were occurred. Diagnosed date was concentrated in June, 33 patients were occurred about 12%, but least occurred month was December. Most occurred age were from 60 to 69, there were 80 patients about 30%. Most occurred cancer was gastric cancer, there were 54 patients about 20%. Hepatic cancer was second and third was lung cancer. In man, most occurred cancers were gastric cancer and hepatic cancer, both was 38 patients. In woman, gastric cancer and uterine cervix cancer were occurred mostly. After 2001, in Korea most occurred female cancer was breast, but in Ulleung island, most occurred cancer was stomach. Conclusions: Researcher should demand and analyze cancer data from National Cancer Center that cancer management project in local county and public health education of cancer could focus on local resident because annually released cancer data from National Cancer Center focus on a nation. In Ulleung island, cancer incidence was more than incidence in Korea and breast cancer was occurred less than in Korea. So, more study should be needed to confirm why more cancer were occurred than Korea and breast cancer was less occurred.

Objective: We performed a meta-analysis of epidemiological results for the association between occupational exposure as a firefighter and cancer as part of the broader evidence synthesis work of the IARC Monographs program. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted to identify cohort studies of firefighters followed for cancer incidence and mortality. Studies were evaluated for the influence of key biases on results. Random-effects meta-analysis models were used to estimate the association between ever-employment and duration of employment as a firefighter and risk of 12 selected cancers. The impact of bias was explored in sensitivity analyses. Results: Among the 16 included cancer incidence studies, the estimated meta-rate ratio, 95% confidence interval (CI), and heterogeneity statistic (I2) for ever-employment as a career firefighter compared mostly to general populations were 1.58 (1.14-2.20, 8%) for mesothelioma, 1.16 (1.08-1.26, 0%) for bladder cancer, 1.21 (1.12-1.32, 81%) for prostate cancer, 1.37 (1.03-1.82, 56%) for testicular cancer, 1.19 (1.07-1.32, 37%) for colon cancer, 1.36 (1.15-1.62, 83%) for melanoma, 1.12 (1.01-1.25, 0%) for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, 1.28 (1.02-1.61, 40%) for thyroid cancer, and 1.09 (0.92-1.29, 55%) for kidney cancer. Ever-employment as a firefighter was not positively associated with lung, nervous system, or stomach cancer. Results for mesothelioma and bladder cancer exhibited low heterogeneity and were largely robust across sensitivity analyses. Conclusions: There is epidemiological evidence to support a causal relationship between occupational exposure as a firefighter and certain cancers. Challenges persist in the body of evidence related to the quality of exposure assessment, confounding, and medical surveillance bias.

Purpose: Recently, non-exposure simple suturing endoscopic full-thickness resection (NESS-EFTR) was developed to prevent tumor exposure to the peritoneal cavity. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of NESS-EFTR with sentinel basin dissection for early gastric cancer (EGC). Materials and Methods: This was the prospective SENORITA 3 pilot. From July 2017 to January 2018, 20 patients with EGC smaller than 3 cm without an absolute indication for endoscopic submucosal dissection were enrolled. The sentinel basin was detected using Tc99m-phytate and indocyanine green, and the NESS-EFTR procedure was performed when all sentinel basin nodes were tumor-free on frozen pathologic examination. We evaluated the complete resection and intraoperative perforation rates as well as the incidence of postoperative complications. Results: Among the 20 enrolled patients, one dropped out due to large tumor size, while another underwent conventional laparoscopic gastrectomy due to metastatic sentinel lymph nodes. All NESS-EFTR procedures were performed in 17 of the 18 other patients (94.4%) without conversion, and the complete resection rate was 83.3% (15/18). The intraoperative perforation rate was 27.8% (5/18), and endoscopic clipping or laparoscopic suturing or stapling was performed at the perforation site. There was one case of postoperative complications treated with endoscopic clipping; the others were discharged without any event. Conclusions: NESS-EFTR with sentinel basin dissection is a technically challenging procedure that obtains safe margins, prevents intraoperative perforation, and may be a treatment option for EGC after additional experience.

Purpose: Tumor bleeding is a major complication in inoperable gastric cancer. The study aim was to investigate the effects of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment for the prevention of gastric tumor bleeding. Materials and Methods: This study was a prospective double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Patients with inoperable gastric cancer were randomly assigned to receive oral lansoprazole (30 mg) or placebo daily. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of tumor bleeding, and the secondary endpoints were transfusion requirement and overall survival (OS). Results: This study initially planned to enroll 394 patients, but prematurely ended due to low recruitment rate. Overall, 127 patients were included in the analyses: 64 in the lansoprazole group and 63 in the placebo group. During the median follow-up of 6.4 months, tumor bleeding rates were 7.8% and 9.5%, in the lansoprazole and placebo groups, respectively, with the cumulative bleeding incidence not statistically different between the groups (P=0.515, Gray's test). However, during the initial 4 months, 4 placebo-treated patients developed tumor bleeding, whereas there were no bleeding events in the lansoprazole-treated patients (P=0.041, Gray's test). There was no difference in the proportion of patients who required transfusion between the groups. The OS between the lansoprazole (11.7 months) and the placebo (11.0 months) groups was not statistically different (P=0.610). Study drug-related serious adverse event or bleeding-related death did not occur. Conclusions: Treating patients with inoperable gastric cancer with lansoprazole did not significantly reduce the incidence of tumor bleeding. However, further studies are needed to evaluate whether lansoprazole can prevent tumor bleeding during earlier phases of chemotherapy (ClinicalTrial.gov, identifier No. NCT02150447).
Purpose: Among cell adhesion molecules, serum levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and E-selectin are known to be correlated with the metastatic potential of gastric cancer. In the present study, the authors investigated the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and E-selectin in gastric cancer tissues and cultured gastric cancer cells, and examined their clinical value in gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: The protein was extracted from gastric cancer tissues and cultured gastric cancer cells (MKN-28 and Kato-III) and the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and E-selectin was examined by western blotting. The clinical significance of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and E-selectin was explored, using immunohistochemical staining of specimens from 157 gastric cancer patients. Results: In western blot analysis, the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in gastric cancer tissues and cultured gastric cancer cells were increased, however, E-selectin in gastric cancer tissues and cells were not increased. Among 157 gastric cancer patients, 79 patients (50%) were intercellular adhesion molecule-1 positive and had larger tumor size, an increased depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis and perineural invasion. The intercellular adhesion molecule-1 positive group showed a higher incidence of tumor recurrence (40.5%), and a poorer 3-year survival than the negative group (54.9 vs. 85.9%, respectively). Conclusions: Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 is overexpressed in gastric cancer tissues and cultured gastric cancer cells, whereas E-selectin is not overexpressed. Increased expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in gastric cancer could be related to the aggressive nature of the tumor, and has a poor prognostic effect on gastric cancer.

Purpose: This study evaluated real-world compliance with surgical treatment according to Korea's gastric cancer treatment guidelines. Materials and Methods: The 2018 Korean Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines were evaluated using the 2019 national survey data for surgically treated gastric cancer based on postoperative pathological results in Korea. In addition, the changes in surgical treatments in 2019 were compared with those in the 2014 national survey data implemented before the publication of the guidelines in 2018. The compliance rate was evaluated according to the algorithm recommended in the 2018 Korean guidelines. Results: The overall compliance rates in 2019 were 83% for gastric resection extent, 87% for lymph node dissection, 100% for surgical approach, and 83% for adjuvant chemotherapy, similar to 2014. Among patients with pathologic stages IB, II, and III disease who underwent total gastrectomy, the incidence of splenectomy was 8.08%, a practice not recommended by the guidelines. The survey findings revealed that 48.66% of the patients who underwent gastrectomy had pathological stage IV disease, which was not recommended by the 2019 guidelines. Compared to that in 2014, the rate of gastrectomy in stage IV patients was 54.53% in 2014. Compliance rates were similar across all regions of Korea, except for gastrectomy in patients with stage IV disease. Conclusions: Real-world compliance with gastric cancer treatment guidelines was relatively high in Korea.
Gastric cancer was inducedd by N-nethyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine(MNNG) in Fisher 344 male rats. Freeze dried typical Koran feeds, aged kimchi, soybean paste and maejoo, and partially scorched barbecued bulgokee were fed to the rat in the diet, which were composing 10% of the total diet. Experimental desing was as follows ; (1) group C : Control, (2) group M : MNNG with control diet, (3) group MK : MNNG with 10% of kimchi, (4) group MS : MNNG with 10% of soybean paste and maejoo, (5) group MB : MNNG with 10% of barbecued bulagokee, (6) group MKSB ; MNNG with 10% of the mixture of kimchi, soybean paste and maejoo, and barbecued bulgokee. Each group was fed with isocaloric diet for 26 weeks. Comparing to control, the growth rate of the experimental group was decreased after administration of MNNG and experimental diet. The mortality rate of group MB was increased by 17% than the control group along with a significant decrease of body weight. The protein efficiency ratio and the food efficiency ratio of group MB were lower than the control. The incidence of gastric cancer in rats fed kimchi and barbecued bulgokee were 73% and 75%, respectively, while that of group M which fed MNNG remained only 56%. On the contrary, soybean paste and maejoo showed an inhibitory effect on the burden of gastric tumor. However, the combination of kimchi, soybean paste and maejoo, and barbecued bulogokee showed a synergistic effect of increasing tumorigenesis in rats. Pathological observations of the rat stomach represent that squamous cell type tumors occupied in most frequencies.
