Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 64
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is the second most cancer worldwide after lung cancer despite a global decline in its incidence. 1 In most countries, the annual incidence of new cases of gastric cancer ranges between 8 and 20 per 100,000 population. Gastric cancer is primarily a disease of the old and the rates rise with increasing age and reaches a peak in the sixth and seventh decades. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study includes 155 cases of tumours and tumour-like lesions of the stomach. All the biopsy materials along with full clinical details and operative findings as per the working formulation were received. The biopsy materials received were fixed in 10% buffered formalin. Punch biopsy, wedge biopsy and polypectomy specimens were subjected to histopathological examination in toto. Samples for histopathological study were taken from the tumour, the surrounding mucosa, proximal and distal lines of resection, lymph node and other organs resected in the case of radical gastrectomies. OBSERVATIONS AND RESULTS In the three years study period from September 1988 to August 2001, 33,329 biopsy materials were received. Of these, tumours and tumour-like lesions of the stomach accounted for 155 cases. Hence, the overall incidence of tumours and tumour-like lesions of the stomach is 0.47%. No benign tumour was reported during the period. The malignant tumours were the most common with a peak incidence in the 4th and 5th decade and increased preponderance of malignant neoplasms in males when compared to females. The current study showed a high incidence of malignancy in the antrum. The most common histological type is the tubular adenocarcinoma forming 78.29%. The incidence of mucinous adenocarcinoma was 8.55%. CONCLUSION The study is to analyse the incidence, to classify the benign and malignant tumours and tumour-like lesion of the stomach and study their prevalence along with the clinical correlation and to study the age and sex incidence of tumours and tumour-like lesions of the stomach.
