Abstract:
Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of gastric cancer after eradication of ( Helicobacter pylori , Hp) in Fuzhou area, to provide a theoretical basis for reducing the incidence and mortality of gastric cancer after eradication of Hp, and to provide effective suggestions for the prevention of gastric cancer in residents in Fuzhou. Methods A total of 699 patients with Hp eradication admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were selected. According to whether the patients had gastric cancer after eradication, they were divided into control group (no gastric cancer) and observation group (gastric cancer). The serum levels of tumor markers including CEA, CA125 and CA199 were detected and compared between the two groups. Clinical data of the two groups, including age, sex, family history of gastric cancer, course of Hp infection, open atrophy, severe atrophy of gastric mucosa, presence of intestinal metaplasia (IM) of gastric mucosa, xanxoma of gastric mucosa, and long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), were analyzed using the self-made survey scale in our hospital. Univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors for gastric cancer after Hp eradication. Results Among of 699 patients with Hp eradication, 48 cases (6.96%) developed gastric cancer, including 29 male cases and 19 female cases. The incidence rate of males was significantly higher than that of females (P<0.05). The incidence rate of elderly patients was significantly higher than that of non-elderly patients (P<0.05). Serum CEA, CA125 and CA199 levels in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in open atrophy, severe atrophy of gastric mucosa, presence of IM, xanxoma of stomach and PPIs use time >3 years between the two groups (P<0.05). The presence of IM (OR=4.874), severe atrophy of gastric mucosa (OR=4.412) and the time using PPIs >3 years (OR=3.631) were independent risk factors for gastric cancer after Hp eradication (P<0.05). Conclusion There is a high risk of gastric cancer after HP eradication in Fuzhou, mainly in elderly male patients, especially in patients with IM, severe atrophy of gastric mucosa and long-term use of PPIs, often accompanied by elevated levels of tumor markers. Close gastroscopy follow-up examination must be conducted within 4 to 5 years after Hp eradication, which is helpful for screening high-risk groups of gastric cancer, preventing gastric cancer and treating gastric cancer as early as possible after Hp eradication.
