Metachronous early gastric cancer over a period of 13 years after eradication of Helicobacter pylori

Abstract: Stomach cancer can occur during chronic inflammation from Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection, and its occurrence can be suppressed by eradication of HP. However, the effects of suppressing stomach cancer by HP eradication are limited, and the cancer is known to recur even after eradication of this infection. Here, we report the case of a 56-year-old male patient with gastric cancer who, although undergoing HP eradication after treatment of early gastric cancer with endoscopy, experienced five metachronous canc… Show more

“…2); 11 % of MGCs (10 of 94) were detected more than 5 years after successful H. pylori eradication (Table 4). Several cases of MGC detected more than 10 years after successful eradication of H. pylori were also reported [35,36]. It is therefore important to perform surveillance endoscopy continuously.…”

“…It is well known that inflammation has a role in the development and progression of different cancers. Many tumors arise from sites of chronic irritation, infection, and inflammation and also inflammatory cells play important roles in the growth and progression of some tumours (Hussein and Ahmed, 2005;Aliustaoglu et al, 2010;Bae and Kim, 2014;Hoshida et al, 2014;Mitsunaga et al, 2014;Okada, 2014;Sicking et al, 2014). Infiltrates of many immune cells have been detected in malignant tissue (Yildirim et al, 2012).…”

“… 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 Interestingly, the risk of gastric cancer development in ulcer patients with successful H pylori eradication has been reported to be reduced by only one third or less compared with eradication failure patients. 4 , 5 , 8 , 9 These results raise the hypothesis that residual abnormalities in the regenerated epithelium after ulcer healing could increase the risk of subsequent damage or disease.…”
