Introduction. The operative link for gastritis assessment (OLGA) and the operative link on gastric intestinal meta-plasia assessment (OLGIM) staging systems have been sug-gested to provide risk of assessment for gastric cancer. Objec-tive. To evaluate the distribution of OLGA and OLGIM staging by age and Helicobacter pylori status. Material and methods. We studied 197 subjects undergoing elective upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The presence of the H. pylori and histological changes were evaluated using the updated Sydney system. Stages III and IV of OLGA/OLGIM were considered high risk stages. Results. The H. pylori rate was 56.85% (112/197). High-risk OLGA/OLGIM cases were rare: 7/112 (6.5%) cases of OLGA in the H. pylori positive group and 6/85 (7%) in the H. pylori negative group; 5 (4.4%) cases of OLGIM in the H. pylori positive and 6 (7%) in the H. pylori negative. The proportion of advanced stages of OLGA and OLGIM increased with age (p < 0.001). High-risk OLGA was not found before age 40 regardless of the presence of H. pylori, but increased to 16.2%, 10.3%, 17.3% and 40.8% in subjects in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh decade of life respectively. The OLGIM high risk showed a similar trend: 0% before 40 years and up to 22.6% in people of 70 years. Conclusions. High-risk OLGA/OLGIM cases are infrequent before age 40 and increase significantly with age. No relation was found with the presence of the H. pylori. According to these protocols, only a fifth of the patients would strictly require endoscopic control. / Revisión por pares

Visame pasaulyje skrandžio vėžys yra didelė problema, kasmet diagnozuojama apie 875000 naujų atvejų ir 645000 miršta nuo šios ligos. Lietuvos vėžio registro duomenimis, 2005 m. Lietuvoje sergamumas skrandžio vėžiu buvo 35,0 vyrų ir 22,1 moterų tarpe 100000 gyventojų. Šis susirgimas vis dar dažniausiai diagnozuojamas vėlyvose stadijose, kuomet radikali operacija jau nėra galima. Skrandžio vėžio vystymasis yra kompleksinis ir šiuo metu dar pilnai neišaiškintas procesas. Nauji tyrimai patvirtino, kad epigenetinė pažaida – TPEF/HPP1 geno metilinimas yra dažnas reiškinys tulžies ir šlapimo pūsles, kolorektalinio vėžio atvejais. Vis dėlto, nebuvo pakankamai duomenų apie TPEF/HPP1 geno metilinimo reikšmę skrandžio kancerogenezėje. Atliktame tyrime nustatyta, kad TPEF/HPP1 geno metilinimas gali būti ankstyvas šio pažeidimo požymis. Taip pat galima daryti prielaidą, kad TPEF/HPP1 genas yra skrandžio naviką slopinantis genas. Kitas svarbus skrandžio vėžio rizikos faktorius yra H. pylori sąlygotas atrofinis gastritas. Tyrimo metu nustatytas didelis vyresnių nei 55 m. dispepsija sergančių pacientų infekuotumas H. pylori. Statistiškai patikimo skirtumo tarp atrofijos ir žarninės metaplazijos dažnumo dispepsija sergantiems pacientams Taivanyje, Lietuvoje, Latvijoje negauta. Buvo nustatyta stipri koreliacija tarp skrandžio atrofijos ir žarninės metaplazijos. Klinikinėje praktikoje atrofinis gastritas patvirtinamas histologiškai (pagal 1994 m. Hiūstone modifikuotą Sidnėjaus klasifikaciją)...

While overall incidence of gastric cancer is falling, in many countries of the world it remains one the most frequent causes of cancer related deaths. According to GLOBOCAN age-standardized cancer incidence data, in Germany 15.1 males and 8.8 females per 100.000 persons developed gastric cancer in 2002, in Lithuania – 25.3 males and 13.0 females, in Latvia – 24.6 males and 11.1 females, respectively. According to the data of Lithuanian Cancer Registry, gastric cancer incidence was 35.0 in male, 22.1 in female per 100.000 persons in 2005, 30.4 in male, 17.8 in female in 2004, respectively [Kurtinaitis J, 2004]. At present, primary or secondary prevention is likely to be the most effective means of reducing the incidence and mortality from this disease. However, to be successful, this strategy depends upon knowledge of the etiological factors and pathogenetic mechanisms involved in gastric carcinogenesis. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has been categorized as a group I carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and World Health Organization (WHO) in 1994. Development of gastric cancer is a complex and poorly understood process. It is clear that besides chronic gastritis caused by H. pylori, dietary factors, high salt and nitrate intake, smoking and, possibly, alcohol consumption are... [to full text]
