Purpose: To observe the infection rates of Helicobacter pylori (HP) in bile reflux gastritis (BRG) and gastric cancer and the clinical significance of HP eradication in BRG and gastric cancer patients complicated with HP.
Methods: 248 patients diagnosed with BRG and gastric cancer via gastroscopy were enrolled in this study. HP detection and infection rates of HP were evaluated. Then, BRG and gastric cancer patients complicated with HP were randomly divided into BRG group 1, BRG group 2, gastric cancer group 1 and gastric cancer group 2. BRG group 1 and gastric cancer group 1 were treated with conventional anti-inflammatory drugs for 10 days, and BRG group 2 and gastric cancer group 2 were treated with anti-HP drugs in addition to conventional anti-inflammatory drugs. One month after drug withdrawal, the infection rates of HP in each group were evaluated, and prognostic follow-up was performed to record the post-therapy patient conditions.
Results: HP infection rate was 35.8% (57/159) in the BRG group and 73.0% (65/89) in the gastric cancer group, with statistically significant difference (p<0.01). In patients treated with anti-HP drugs had the HP infection rate effectively reduced. The treatment effective rates of patients with BRG and gastric cancer complicated with HP infection after eradication of HP were 82.8 and 68.8%, respectively, while those of patients with non-eradicated HP were only 46.4 and 37.5 %, respectively. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (p<0.05).
Conclusion: HP is directly and closely related to the occurrence of gastric diseases, HP infection rate in patients with gastric cancer is significantly higher than that in patients with BRG, and the treatment of HP can effectively improve the rehabilitation rate in patients with gastric diseases.

This study enrolled 10 patients diagnosed with premalignant lesions and early-stage gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA), confirmed through endoscopic examination. These patients were subjected to next-generation sequencing (NGS) using a customized 1123-gene panel to identify genetic alterations and signaling pathways. The results were compared to stage IIB to IV GCA samples from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) and a cohort of Hong Kong patients.

Rationale: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are spindle cell tumors that typically occur in the pleura and peritoneum, but very rarely in the stomach. To our best knowledge, there are only 10 cases reported in English literature. We reported a case of primary stomach SFT and summarized the characteristics of all previous cases, suggesting that pathologists and surgeons should include this disease in the differential diagnosis list of primary mesenchymal tumor of the stomach.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive gastric cancer (GC) shows a robust response to the combined therapy based HER2-targeted therapy. The application of these therapies is highly dependent on the evaluation of tumor HER2 status. However, there are many risks and challenges in HER2 assessment in GC.

Background: Few studies have explored the genetic changes and clinicopathological features of stage II/III gastric cancer (GC) patients with no tumor recurrence, early recurrence, or late recurrence after curative surgery.
Methods: In this study, 376 patients who underwent curative surgery for stage II/III GC were analyzed. The clinical and genetic features of patients with no recurrence, early recurrence (<2 years), and late recurrence (≥2 years) were compared.

Importance: Upper gastrointestinal cancers such as gastric and esophageal cancers are rare malignancies with poor prognosis because it is usually diagnosed in latter stages. Presenting symptoms are frequently presumed pregnancy related rather than malignancy related. This review will raise awareness to consider these aggressive cancers in evaluating gastrointestinal complaints during pregnancy.
