The study was made of 568 cases of "initial" cancer cases, 825 morphological substrates of the polyps and 90 ones of chronic gastric ulcer. Chronic gastritis was the most frequent precancer disease (88.7% of cases). Malignant polyps accounted for 10.7% and chronic ulcer for 0.6% of cases. Relevant criteria for risk groups are proposed. Severe epithelial dysplasia as a morphological manifestation of gastric precancer can serve a marker of the risk of malignant transformation.

This manuscript provides an overview of the microbiota profile associated with precancerous lesions in the esophagus, stomach, and large bowel. The critical review of the available data reveals significant variability in the methods used for microbiota profiling. This variability may affect the reliable identification of specific biological links between histologically profiled neoplastic diseases and the microbiota population.

Purpose: Yiqi Liangxue Jiedu prescription (YLJP), a Chinese medicine that is commonly used to prevent liver cancer and is authorized by a national patent (patent No. ZL202110889980.5) has a therapeutic effect on precancerous lesions; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Research on the microenvironment associated with gastric carcinogenesis has focused on cancers of the stomach and often underestimates premalignant stages such as metaplasia and dysplasia. Since epithelial interactions with T cells, macrophages, and type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are indispensable for the formation of precancerous lesions in the stomach, understanding the cellular interactions that promote gastric precancer warrants further investigation. Although various types of immune cells have been shown to play important roles in gastric carcinogenesis, it remains unclear how stromal cells such as fibroblasts influence epithelial transformation in the stomach, especially during precancerous stages.

Background & Aims: Barrett's esophagus is the precursor of esophageal dysplasia and esophageal adenocarcinoma. CDKN2A-p16 deletions were reported in 34%-74% of patients with Barrett's esophagus who progressed to dysplasia and esophageal adenocarcinoma, suggesting that p16 loss may drive neoplastic progression. KRAS activation frequently occurs in esophageal adenocarcinoma and precancer lesions.
