Gastric neoplasia is a heterogeneous and multifactorial disease and its incidence and mortality vary widely based on geographic location. Approximately 60% of the diagnoses of patients from occidental countries were made on the stages III and IV. The best treatment still is to realize a surgical procedure. AIM: Identify the epidemiological aspects of the patients diagnosed with T4b gastric adenocarcinoma. METHODS: The study was observational, transversal and retrospective; it was also based on secondary sources from patients diagnosed with T4b gastric adenocarcinoma, through pathologic stages. A total of 815 charts were analyzed and 27 patients studied. The variables were: demographic aspects, main symptoms, risk factors, access to health system, surgical aspects, morbidity, mortality and survival. RESULTS: Were included 22 men (81,5%) and five woman (18,5%), in the age group between 38 and 87 years old - median age of 58. The time, in months, to access the health system varied from one to 120, average of 12,5 months. The most prevalent signs and symptoms were: weight loss 23 (85,2%), epigastric pain 22 (81,5%), vomit 16 (59,3%) and gastric fullness 12 (44,4%). The frequency of the affected adjacent body structures was: pancreas 8 (29,6%), liver 7 (25,9%), transverse colon 6 (22,2%), small intestine 6 (22,2%), mesocolon 3 (11,1%), spleen 1 (3,7%) and gallbladder 1 (3,7%). Postoperative morbidity occurred in 51, 85% of the patients. There were a significative association between surgical mortality and the occurrence of fistula/ dehiscence, septic shock and bleeding. The survival rate after six months was 63,27%. CONCLUSION: The mean time between onset of symptoms and access to specialized health services was high. More than half of the patients had postoperative morbidities. Patients who had fistula / dehiscence, bleeding and septic shock were significantly associated with surgical mortality. The survival rate after six months was 63.27%.

Polimorfismos de citocinas (TNF-A, IL-10 e IL-17) no câncer gástrico

Gastric cancer (GC) is the second most common malignancy among men and the third in women, and therefore, an important public health problem in northern Brazil. The investigation of genetic factors related to immunological characteristics can aid the understanding of carcinogenesis in CG. The objective of the present work was investigate polymorphisms present in interleukin genes IL17G-197A, IL 17FA7488G, TNFαG-308A, IL10G-1082A, IL10C-819T e IL10C-592A, on samples of patients with gastric cancer and healthy patients without cancer. Case group was composed of 100 patients diagnosed with CG, met in the Hospital HUJBB (Pará, Brazil). Control group was composed of 100 individuals without cancer, unrelated, of the same population. The genetic material was extracted from 5 mL of peripheral blood with the DNA commercial kit from Roche, followed by quantification with the NanoDrop 1000 spectrophotometer. Analysis of the molecular polymorphisms was performed by real-time PCR with Taqman® probes. Measures of ancestry were investigated using a panel of 48 autosomal ancestry informative markers (AIMs). The proportions of ancestry of European, African and Amerindian were estimated using the software STRUCTURE v. 2.3.3. It was observed that the ethnic composition of the case group was 27% African, 42% European and 31% of Amerindian, while in the control group 21% African, 52% of European and 27% of Amerindian. In relation to the set of markers of interleukin IL-10 (IL10G-1082A, IL10C-819T, IL10C-592A), when the genotypic and haplotypic patterns were compared, it was noted that the haplotype distribution related to high expression (GCC/GCC, GCA, GCC/GCC/GTC, GCA/GCA, GCA/GTA) was more frequent in the patients with gastric cancer (P = 1,15e-11; OR = 2.630; IC 95% = 2.116-3.271). Among the individuals with the genotype related to the high production of IL-10, it was observed that the control group had more European contribution in their ancestry (P = 1e-06) while the group of patients with CG had more African contribution in their ancestry (P = 1.4e-5). Patients who presented TNF-α AA and TNF-α AG genotypes for TNF-α gene mutation presented a higher risk for development of cancer (P<0.001; OR 10.375; IC 95% 3.149-34.061). It is concluded that patients with a distribution of haplotypic markers of interleukin IL-10 (IL10G-1082A, IL10C-819T, IL10C-592A) related to a higher expression and higher contribution of African ancestry have a high risk of developing gastric cancer.
