Risk factors vary according to the type of gastric cancer. Common risk factors for intestinal-type of stomach cancer are chronic superficial gastritis caused by; [[Helicobacter pylori]] infection, [[Pernicious anemia]], a high salt diet, [[Chronic inflammation]] results in [[Epithelial cells|epithelial cell]] damage. Risk factors for diffuse-type gastric cancer are salt and salt-preserved foods, [[Nitroso|nitroso compounds]], fruits and fibers, [[obesity]], smoking, [[Helicobacter pylori]], [[Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug|nonsteroidal antinflammatory]], Ebstien-Barr virus, gastric surgery, [[irradiation]], and familial predisposition.

Overview

Risk factors vary according to the type of gastric cancer. Common risk factors for intestinal-type of stomach cancer are chronic superficial gastritis caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, pernicious anemia, a high salt diet, chronic inflammation results in epithelial cell damage. Risk factors for diffuse-type gastric cancer are salt and salt-preserved foods, nitroso compounds, fruits and fibers, obesity, smoking, Helicobacter pylori, nonsteroidal antinflammatory, Epstien-Barr virus, gastric surgery, irradiation, and familial predisposition.

Risk Factors

Risk factors for intestinal type gastric cancer:

Atrophic gastritis

Intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia

Risk factors for diffuse-type gastric cancer:

Salt and salt-preserved foods

  • A high intake of salt and salt-preserved foods such as salted fish and salted vegetables increases the risk of gastric cancer.[3]
  • Salt damages stomach mucosa and increases the susceptibility to carcinogenesis.[4]

Nitroso compounds

  • Nitroso compounds are generated after consumption of nitrates.[5]
  • Diets that are high in fried food and processed meat have been associated with an increased risk of gastric carcinoma.[6]
  • A high pH environment increases bacterial growth in stomach that transform nitrate in nitrose compunds.[7]

Fruits and fibers

Obesity

  • Excess body weight is associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer.[9]

Smoking

  • Eighteen percent of gastric cancer cases were linked to smoking.[10]

Helicobacter pylori

Nonsteroidal antinflammatory (NSAID):

  • Regular use of NSAIDs has been inversely associated with the risk of distal gastric adenocarcinoma.[11]

EBV

Gastric surgery

Irradiation

Blood group

  • Blood group A individuals have shows a 20 percent excess of gastric cancer than other groups.[16]

Familial predisposition

  • Although most gastric cancers are sporadic, 10 percent of cases.
  • Familial gastric cancer accounts for 1 to 3 percent of the global burden of gastric cancer and comprises at least three major syndromes: hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC), gastric adenocarcinoma and proximal polyposis of the stomach (GAPPS), and familial intestinal gastric cancer (FIGC).

Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer

  • Clinical criteria for HDGC as described by the International Gastric Cancer Linkage Consortium.
  • Germline mutations in the CDH1 gene, which encodes the cell adhesion protein E-cadherin, have been identified HDGC is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with high penetrance.
  • The cumulative risk for gastric cancer by age 80 for CDH1 mutation carriers is up to 70 percent in men and up to 56 percent in women.[17]
  • Promoter hypermethylation, mutation, and loss of heterozygosity.
  • The end result is loss of expression of the cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin.
  • The risk of gastric cancer in asymptomatic carriers of a pathogenetic CDH1 mutation who belong to families with highly penetrant hereditary diffuse gastric cancer is sufficiently high to warrant prophylactic gastrectomy.
  • Women in these affected families are also at high risk of developing breast cancer, predominantly lobular. The cumulative risk of breast cancer to age 80 for CDH1 mutation carriers is approximately 42 percent, and like the gastric cancers, the increased relative risk starts early.[18]

GAPPS

Familial intestinal gastric cancer

  • FIGC should be considered a potential diagnosis when histopathological reports denote intestinal-type gastric cancers that segregate within families without gastric polyposis.
  • An autosomal dominant inheritance pattern has been noted in many such families.[19]
