Abstract:
Objective To study the pathological features and developmental tendency of gastric carcinoma(GC) in Wuwei City. Methods The clinical data of 7346 cases of GC found in 85427 cases undergoing endoscopy in Wuwei City from 1977 to 2000 were retrospectively analysed. Results The detectation rate of GC by endoscopy in Wuwei City was 8.7%. GC developed to a peak at 40～70 years of age(92.0%).In the GC cases, the Hp infection rate was 64.6%, which is higher than that in the area of low incidence of GC and the general population. Hp infection rate in poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma was higher than that in well differenciated type.Most GC(43.8%) were located in the proximal portion of the stomach. Poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma appeared to be the most common pathological type. Conclusions GC in Wuwei City is related to Hp infection. GC location has shifted from the distal to the proximal portion of the stomach in the last 23 years.
