Filter by:This study is carried out to find out if a customized molecular test can identify a subgroup of patients with very-high-risk of developing stomach cancer within patients with intestinal metaplasia (IM). The investigators hypothesise that the incidence of dysplasia and GC cases in the molecular-test-positive group will be significantly higher than that in the molecular-test-negative group. Such a test has the potential to guide clinicians to better manage patients with IM by allowing endoscopic surveillance to be focused on individuals at very-high-risk of developing stomach cancer, at the same time avoiding or reducing endoscopies for those at lower risk.
The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a clinical decision support system based on automated algorithms. This system can use natural language processing to extract data from patients' endoscopic reports and pathological reports, identify patients' disease types and grades, and generate guidelines based follow-up or treatment recommendations
This is a study of the safety and effectiveness of Trametinib treatment in patients who have received successful endoscopic submucosal resection of a Stage I gastric cancer.
The aim of the study will be to analyze the microbiome in the blood and stomach in patients with intestinal metaplasia (IM) and / or gastric cancer (GC). As far as IM is concerned, it has been found that the incomplete type is related to GC mainly intestinal-type. Studies show differences in the microbiome in patients with IM and in patients with GC, but do not specify whether these differences are related to histological types. Our intention is to further analyze the microbiome based on histological types. Most studies on stomach cancer have focused on the microbiota of gastric microbiota. Recent data have shown that the microbiome of the small intestine, especially the mucosa, can play a key role in the condition of the gastrointestinal tract. Disturbance of the microbiome of the small intestine has been found in celiac disease, chronic liver disease, diabetes and irritable bowel syndrome. However, information on the role of the microbiome in IM remains limited.
A clinical study of the efficacy of oral alpha-difluoromethylornithine (eflornithine or DFMO) in male and female subjects ages 30-60 with gastric premalignant lesions in two high risk regions of Latin America.
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming, growing, or coming back. The use of esomeprazole and aspirin may prevent esophageal cancer in patients with Barrett's metaplasia. It is not yet known whether esomeprazole is more effective with or without aspirin in preventing esophageal cancer in patients with Barrett's metaplasia. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying esomeprazole with or without aspirin to compare how well they work in preventing esophageal cancer in patients with Barrett's metaplasia.
