Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 34
Abstract
To study the pattern of upper gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies in Tripura. METHODOLOGY: The study was conducted at the dept. of Medicine, Agartala Govt Medical College. All the patients who underwent upper GI Endoscopy and were found to have an upper GI malignancy on histopathology were reviewed for the part of the gut involved. Patient’s demographics including age, clinical presentation, histological diagnosis and type were evaluated. RESULT: During the study period 95 cases of upper GI malignancy were seen in our institute. Total 7.36% cases were below 40 year of age. Mean patient age was 62.43 years. Among all the cases, 61.06% were esophageal carcinoma & 38.94% cases were gastric carcinoma. Mean patient age for oesophageal carcinoma is 58.37and 68.78 years respectively. Among the gastric carcinoma, 51.35% were in fundus, 32.43% in body and 16.21% in pyloric end and all were adenocarcinoma in histological type. In oesophageal carcinoma, upper third, middle third and lower third of oesophagus were involved in 15.51%, 62.06% and 24.13% of cases respectively and histologically 86.21% were squamous cell carcinoma whereas 13.79% were adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSION: Oesophageal carcinoma is more common than gastric carcinoma in this region and squamous type of esophageal carcinoma is the dominant type and fundal part is the most frequent site for gastric carcinoma. Endoscopic screening in subjects suspected of upper GI malignancy results in significant yield of carcinoma.
