Study of clinicopathological factors associated with the occurrence of synchronous multiple gastric carcinomas

摘要

Multiple gastric carcinomas often arise in gastric mucosa with chronic gastritis, particularly severe intestinal metaplasia. In regard to such characteristics, several clinicopathological risk factors for multiple carcinomas have been reported, but no clinically useful criteria are available at present for assessing the onset of multiple gastric carcinomas. If the risk for multiple gastric carcinomas could be accurately assessed, efficient and accurate surveillance could be performed following minimally invasive therapies.
