Abstract:
Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach (HAS) is defined as a special type of gastric cancer characterized by low incidence rates and high degree of malignance with an extremely poor prognosis.As it is characterized by morphological similarities to general alimentary cannal symptoms with unclear etiology and pathogenesis,diagnostic errors can always be made.The alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) are helpful with diagnosis.However,histopathological examination is the gold standard for diagnosing HAS.So far,radical operation,adjuvant chemotherapy,interventional therapy with immune-biological treatment are the main approaches for HAS treatment.
