In addition to looking for the causes and ways to prevent stomach cancer, scientists continue to look for better ch has clearly shown that differences in diet are an important factor in explaining variations in stomach cancer risk around the world.
Recent research in countries with relatively low stomach cancer risk has provided some insight into risk factors. Diets high in preserved meats and low in fresh fruits and vegetables have been linked with higher bacter pylori studies have shown that certain types of h pylori (especially the caga strains) are more strongly linked to stomach cancer. Some inherited traits related to blood groups may also affect whether someone infected with h pylori will develop cancer. Further research is needed to help doctors determine how to use this information to test which people might be at higher risk for developing stomach research has also studied the interaction of h pylori infection with other risk factors. For example, they have found that a healthy diet is especially important for reducing stomach cancer risk for people infected with h revention is the use of natural or man-made chemicals to lower the risk of developing cancer. Some types of chemicals might be useful in helping prevent stomach carcinogenic (cancer-causing) factors cause cells to form a type of chemical called a free radical.
Studies that have looked at using dietary supplements to lower stomach cancer risk have had mixed results so far. There is some evidence that combinations of antioxidant supplements may reduce the risk of stomach cancer in people with poor nutrition to begin with. Further research in this area is s are being done to see whether antibiotic treatment of people who are chronically infected by h pylori will help prevent stomach cancer. Some studies have found that treating this infection may prevent pre-cancerous stomach abnormalities, but more research is gh not truly chemoprevention, antibiotics may help prevent stomach cancer from recurring in some cases. Researchers have shown that antibiotics may lower the risk that the cancer will come back in another part of the stomach in people who have been treated with endoscopic mucosal resection for early stage stomach cancer. Unfortunately, in the united states stomach cancers are more often found at a later stage, so it’s not clear how useful these results might be -steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (including aspirin).
But not all) studies have found that people who take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) such as aspirin or ibuprofen might have a lower risk of stomach cancer. In the meantime, doctors generally don’t recommend taking these medicines just to try to lower your risk of cancer, as they can cause serious side effects in some el lymph node s are trying to identify the spread of stomach cancer to lymph nodes using this technique, which has proved very successful in melanoma and breast sentinel lymph node mapping, the surgeon injects a blue dye and/or a radioactive tracer substance into the cancer. These concentrate in the lymph nodes that would be the first site of cancer spread. If no cancer is found in these lymph nodes, then the cancer is unlikely to have reached others, and a full lymph node removal might not be needed. If cancer is found in the sentinel lymph node(s), then all the lymph nodes would still need to be technique has been shown to help find more lymph nodes to remove, and to find lymph nodes that are more likely to contain cancer cells. But this technique is still being studied in stomach cancer and is not yet ready for widespread herapy drugs and studies are testing new ways to combine drugs already known to be active against stomach cancer or other cancers.
This drug is commonly used for stomach cancer in some other parts of the world, but it is not yet available in the united studies are testing the best ways to combine chemo with radiation therapy, targeted therapies, or immunotherapy. For example, some doctors are looking at infusing chemo directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal chemotherapy) to see if it might work better with fewer side drugs target cells that divide rapidly, which is why they work against cancer cells. But there are other aspects of cancer cells that make them different from normal cells. In recent years, researchers have developed new targeted drugs to try to exploit these differences. They also tend to have less severe side effects than chemo that block her2: some stomach cancers have too much of the her2 protein on the surface of their cells, which helps them grow. Other drugs that target her2, such as lapatinib (tykerb®), pertuzumab (perjeta®), and trastuzumab emtansine (kadcyla®) are now being studied in clinical that block egfr: egfr is another protein found on some stomach cancer cells that helps them grow.
Panitumumab (vectibix®) is a drug that targets egfr that is being tested against stomach cancer. This drug is already fda-approved to treat some other targeted drugs: other drugs target different parts of cancer cells. Other targeted drugs that are being studied against stomach cancer include sorafenib (nexavar®) and apatinib, among of the research in this area is looking at combining targeted agents with chemotherapy or with each therapy is an approach that uses drugs to try and help the body’s immune system fight the cancer. Korean study showed that combining chemotherapy with an immunotherapy called polyadenylic-polyuridylic acid (poly a:u) slowed stomach cancer from returning when given as adjuvant therapy after surgery.

Chemoprevention is the use of drugs or nutrients to lower a person’s risk of developing cancer. The combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery may reduce the chance that stomach cancer will return. Chemotherapy with multiple combinations of drugs is being increasingly used for people with stomach cancer. Researchers are looking at the genetic changes in tumor cells to identify specific genes, proteins, and other factors unique to the tumor. Previous research has shown that several types of targeted therapy do not work well for stomach cancer. However, research continues on this type of treatment approach (see molecular testing of the tumor, above).
Researchers are looking at different types of immunotherapy that block the ctla4 and/or pd-1 pathways. Clinical trials are underway to find better ways of reducing symptoms and side effects of current stomach cancer treatments to improve patients’ comfort and quality of g for more about the latest research?

C cancer research in mexico: a public health ri cl1, mora information1clara luz sampieri, instituto de salud pública, universidad veracruzana, av. Industrial ánimas, 91190 xalapa, veracruz, méctthis study aimed review studies conducted on mexican patients diagnosed with gastric cancer and/or diseases associated with its development, in which at least one mexican institute has participated, and to assess their contributions to the primary and secondary prevention of this disease.
A search of the medline database was conducted using the following keywords: gastric/stomach cancer, mexico. Studies of the mexican population were selected in which at least one mexican institute had participated and where the findings could support public policy proposals directed towards the primary or secondary prevention of gastric cancer. According to the analysis presented, these studies were classified as: epidemiology of gastric cancer (5/48); risk factors and protectors relating to gastric cancer (9/48); relationship between helicobacter pylori and pathologies associated with gastric cancer and the development of the disease (16/48); relationship between the epstein-barr virus and pathologies associated with gastric cancer and the development of the disease (3/48); molecular markers for the development of diseases associated with gastric cancer and gastric cancer (15/48). Mexico requires a program for the prevention and control of gastric cancer based on national health indicators. The few studies of gastric cancer conducted on the mexican population in national institutes highlight the poor connection that currently exists between the scientific community and the health sector in terms of resolving this health issue. Public policies for health research should support projects with findings that can be translated into benefits for the population.
