| | Stomach cancer and gastric or duodenal ulcer disease |
 | | This increase in cancer incidence was not found in a subgroup of 8,646 patients with pre-pyloric gastric ulcers, however. | | | The cohort consisted of 29,287 patients with gastric ulcer only, 24,456 with duodenal ulcers and 4.193 with both (analyzed separately). | | | The incidence of cancer was then compared to that of the Swedish population at large. |

| | Cell Proliferation of the Duodenal Mucosa in Patients Affected by Familial Adenomatous Polyposis. | | | Standard forward viewing endoscopy was used, whereas in clinical practice side viewing endoscopy is recommended since duodenal polyposis in FAP is more severe in the periampullary region[1] and this is likely to be missed with standard endoscopy. | | | Our other concern relates to the quoted cancer incidence, which we feel must be biased. |

| | Talamini G. Duodenal Acidity May Increase the Risk of Pancreatic Cancer in the Course of Chronic Pancreatitis: An ... |
| | Duodenal acidity is probably of particular concern in patients who have undergone a duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection, since, in this anatomic situation, pancreatic juice transits directly via the jejunal loop, bypassing the duodenum. | | | Diabetes mellitus, other medical conditions and familial history of cancer as risk factors for pancreatic cancer. | | | Patients undergoing a Whipple procedure or side-to-side pancreaticojejunostomy are probably less critically affected because secretions transit, at least in part, via the papilla. |

| | CancerWeb Report August, 1996: Stomach Cancer |
| | Editor's Comment: - Both gastric ulcers and stomach cancer are associated with infection by Helicobacter pylori, so the findings regarding stomach ulcers are to be expected, but the results for duodenal ulcers are difficult to understand. | | | As reported in the July 25, 1996 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, the incidence of stomach cancer in those with gastric ulcers peaked in the first 3 years and leveled off at a value which was about 80% greater than for the general Swedish population. | | | Just what is the connection between stomach cancer and ulcers? |

| | Section 5 Chapter 14 Hereditary Colorectal Cancer and Polyposis Syndromes |
| | Thus, the decision between prophylactic surgery and surveillance for gene-positive unaffected patients is based on many factors, including the penetrance of disease in a family, the age of cancer onset in family members, functional and quality-of-life considerations, and the likelihood of patient compliance with surveillance. | | | Foci of carcinoma in situ and invasive carcinoma may be found within larger polyps, and the incidence of invasive cancer is proportional to the extent of polyposis. | | | The main considerations to be taken into account are the risk of rectal cancer development if the rectum is left in situ and the differences in functional outcome (and associated quality of life) between procedures. |

| | Thus the question arises whether it is possible to define a subgroup of high-risk patients for duodenal malignancy, and whether severe duodenal adenomatosis should lead to an aggressive prophylactic surgical approach. | | | This contribution discusses the current literature and presents the experience of the Heidelberg Polyposis Register based on gastroduodenoscopy findings in 231 FAP patients. | | | Fundic gland polyposis was detected in 79 patients (35%), stomach adenomas in 6 patients (3%) and duodenal adenomas in 92 patients (41%). |
