Abstract
Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers account for 20% of estimated new cancer cases and 15% of estimated death worldwide. At present it is the second most cancer after lung malignancy. The present study was conducted to assess the cases of gastric cancer in study population. Materials & Methods: Microscopic data was recorded from the available sections and recent blocks, using haematoxylin and eosin, routinely. Special stains like PAS and Alcian blue and reticulin were used. The histological classification was based on Laurens (1965) classification as follows: (1) Intestinal type, (2) Diffuse type and (3) Mixed type. Results: Male consisted of 54 and females 32. The difference was significant (P-0.05). Histological type of gastric cancer. Intestinal metaplasia was intestinal (14), diffuse (6) and mixed (4). Similarly chronic follicular gastritis showed intestinal (7), diffuse (10) and mixed (9). Lymphoid hyperplasia showed intestinal (8), diffuse (5) and mixed (12). The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Out of 86 gastric cancer, Pyloric antrum included 43, body (21) and cardia and fundus comprised of 22. The difference was significant (P<0.05). Adenocarcinoma of antrum was 3, body was 2 and cardia/ fundus was 1. Adenocarcinoma with carcinoid of antrum was 2, body was 1 and cardia/fundus was 2. Conclusion: The number of cases of gastric cancers is increasing day by day. The most common histological type reported was intestinal followed by diffuse and mixed.
