Sera of 101 patients with histologically confirmed gastric cancers were investigated for parietal cell antibodies, which are the serological markers of chronic atrophic gastritis type A. These autoantibodies were more often found in patients with early than with advanced gastric cancers. They were more frequent in intestinal than in diffuse gastric cancers. It is discussed that in advanced cancers the frequency of parietal cell antibody is diminishing because of loss of antigene or binding of antibodies in immune complexes. Early gastric cancers therefore seem to be more suitable than advanced cancers to study the relation between gastric cancer and gastritis type.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key regulators during gastric cancer (GC) development and may be viable treatment targets. In the present study, we showed that the expression of the long intergenic noncoding RNA 01016 (LINC01016) is significantly higher in GC tissues with lymph node metastasis (LNM) than those without LNM. LINC01016 overexpression predicts a poorer relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).

The aim is to describe the sociodemographic and clinical-epidemiological profile of hospital cases of gastric cancer and to analyze factors associated with the Time-to-Treatment in Brazil. Exploratory study of sociodemographic and clinical-epidemiological characteristics of cases of gastric cancer. Time-to-Treatment were continuously estimated and then categorized into ≤ 60/> 60 days to estimate prevalence.
