Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: Gastric cancer mortality rates have remained relatively unchanged over the past 30 years, and gastric cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of cancer-related death. Well-conducted studies have stimulated changes to surgical decision-making and technique. Aim: The aim of the study was to study various modes of clinical presentation and morphological types of carcinoma in stomach. Materials and Methods: Observational cross-sectional study in patients with carcinoma stomach. Clinical examination and other relevant investigation were done. Results: In our study, dyspepsia is the most common clinical presentation (36%) followed by loss of weight 18% and pain abdomen 14%. Antrum forms the most common site of carcinoma stomach (68%), protruding type most common (52%) out of three types of lesions, protruding has a better prognosis than the other two types. Infiltrative type carries the worst prognosis. Conclusion: The peak incidence of carcinoma stomach in our study is in fourth decade. Epigastric pain, dyspepsia, anorexia, and weight loss are the most common clinical symptoms of carcinoma stomach. It predominantly involves the antrum, usually as polypoid/fungating or ulcerated lesion and the majority of gastric carcinomas.
