Abstract

Background: According to a recent report published by the Ministry of Health, GASTRIC CANCER (GC) is the most common fatal cancer in Iran and its prevalence is highest in ARDABIL Province. We designed this descriptive endoscopic survey to determine the type of upper gastrointestinal (GI) malignancy in this high prevalence area.Method: This study was conducted in the first established subspecialty outpatient GI clinic in ARDABIL City. Out of the 11.518 patients who were seen in this clinic during a period of one year, 1152 (10%) with persistent upper GI symptoms underwent upper GI fiberoptic endoscopy and 162 *14/1%) were found to have a tumor with malignant appearance. At least six endoscopic punch biopsies were obtained from all the tumors and sent for pathology. Demographic data was obtained from all 162 patients. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS statistical software.Results: The mean age of the patients with cancer was 63.5±10.8 years and the male to female ratio were 2.14:1. Villagers constituted 111(70.7%) and city residents constituted 46 (29.3%) patients. Upper GI cancer was diagnosed by histopathology in 157 patients (13.4%). Stomach cancer constituted 107 cases (68.2%), 53 (49.5%) of which were cancer of the cardia and 50 (31.8%) were esophageal cancer. The most common site of upper GI malignancy was the gastric cardia 53 (33.8%) followed by the antrum 32(20.4%), esophageal body 27 (17.2%), distal esophagus 23 (14.6%), and gastric body 22 (14.0%). Conclusion: Cancer of the gastric cardia is now the most common upper GI malignancy in ARDABIL and constitutes almost half of all GASTRIC CANCERs. It is recommended those subsite-specific GASTRIC CANCER risk factors, including H.Pylori and dietary nitrates, be studied in the future.
