Performance of Endoscopic and Histological Criteria of Atrophic Gastritis and Intestinal Metaplasia in Predicting Risk of Gastric Cancer - a Multicenter Case Control Study

This is a multi-center prospective case control study aiming to compare different methods of risk stratification models in predicting the risk of gastric cancer development.

Detailed Description

The case control study would compare which type of assessment (Endoscopic / histological) is more accurate in predicting the risk of gastric cancer development.

The risk factor assessment would be based on the following criteria.

Endoscopic assessment:

  1. Atrophic gastritis, based on Kimura Takemoto Classification
  2. Kyoto classification of gastritis
  3. Intestinal metaplasia, based on Endoscopic Mapping and Grading of Intestinal Metaplasia (EGGIM) Histological assessment (Based on random biopsies)

1. Operative Links on Gastritis Assessment 2. Operative Links on Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with or without gastric cancer undergoing elective endoscopy would be recruited if they fulfil inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subsequently they would be analysed based on "Gastric cancer" and "Non-gastric cancer" cohorts.

Description

Two groups of patients would be recruited in this case control study.

  1. Gastric neoplasia group Patients with newly diagnosed or history of cancer of stomach or gastric high grade dysplasia.
  2. Control group Patients with no prior history of gastric dysplasia or cancer

Inclusion criteria:

  1. Age 40 or above
  2. Undergo elective upper gastrointestinal endoscopy

Exclusion criteria:

  1. Patients with history of gastrectomy
  2. Patients with severe thrombocytopenia (Platelet count <50) or coagulopathy (INR > 1.5 or on anticoagulation)
  3. Contraindication to upper gastrointestinal endoscopy
  4. Allergy towards sedative agents (Midazolam / Diazepam) or local anaesthetic spray (Lignocaine)
  5. Patients who cannot give informed consent

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Observational Models: Case-Control
  • Time Perspectives: Prospective

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Gastric cancer cohort
Cohort of patients with gastric cancer
Diagnostic test: Gastroscopy and gastric biopsies
Gastroscopy would be performed to assess the degree of atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia. In addition, four random biopsies would be taken in the stomach for histological assessment of AG and IM
Non-gastric cancer cohort
Cohort of patients without gastric cancer
Diagnostic test: Gastroscopy and gastric biopsies
Gastroscopy would be performed to assess the degree of atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia. In addition, four random biopsies would be taken in the stomach for histological assessment of AG and IM
