Gastric cancer is the final step in a multi-stage cascade triggered by long-standing inflammatory conditions (particularly Helicobacter pylori infection) resulting in atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia: these lesions represent the cancerization field in which (intestinal-type) gastric cancer develops. Intraepithelial neoplasia is consistently recognized as the phenotypic bridge between atrophic/metaplastic lesions and invasive cancer. This paper addresses the epidemiology, pathology, molecular profiling, and clinical management of advanced precancerous gastric lesions. (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Clinicopathological features and risk factors for developing colorectal neoplasia in Hodgkin's lymphoma survivors

Berbel L. M. Ykema, Lisanne S. Rigter, Manon C. W. Spaander, Leon M. G. Moons, Tanya M. Bisseling, Berthe M. P. Aleman, Evelien Dekker, Wieke H. M. Verbeek, Ernst J. Kuipers, Jan Paul de Boer, Pieternella J. Lugtenburg, Cecile P. M. Janus, Eefke J. Petersen, Judith M. Roesink, Richard W. M. van der Maazen, Gerrit A. Meijer, Michael Schaapveld, Flora E. van Leeuwen, Beatriz Carvalho, Petur Snaebjornsson, Monique E. van Leerdam

Summary: The study evaluated clinicopathological characteristics and risk factors for developing (advanced) neoplasia (AN) in Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) survivors who had undergone abdominal radiotherapy and/or procarbazine treatment. Colorectal neoplasia in HL survivors differs from average-risk controls, with AN primarily classified based on polyp size (>=10 mm) and longer follow-up between HL diagnosis and colonoscopy associated with a higher prevalence of AN.

The Detrimental Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Major Trauma Outcomes in the Netherlands A Comprehensive Nationwide Study

Mitchell L. S. Driessen, Leontien M. Sturms, Frank W. Bloemers, Henk Jan ten Duis, Michael J. R. Edwards, Dennis den Hartog, E. J. Kuipers, Peter A. Leenhouts, Martijn Poeze, Inger B. Schipper, Richard W. Spanjersberg, Klaus W. Wendt, Ralph J. de Wit, Stefan W. A. M. van Zutphen, Mariska A. C. de Jongh, Luke P. H. Leenen

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse effect on the outcome of major trauma patients in the Netherlands. Fewer patients, especially those with less severe traumatic brain injuries, were admitted to the ICU during the peak period, resulting in increased mortality rates for this subgroup.

Summary: The NCR-PHARMO GP cohort, consisting of 135,868 cancer patients, provides rich data on primary care management of cancer, enabling large-scale observational cancer research in the primary care setting. Patient-level linkage allows for long-term follow-up with ongoing annual updates.

Accuracy of H. pylori fecal antigen test using fecal immunochemical test (FIT)

S. A. Nieuwenburg, M. C. Mommersteeg, L. M. M. Wolters, A. J. van Vuuren, N. Erler, M. P. Peppelenbosch, G. M. Fuhler, M. J. Bruno, E. J. Kuipers, M. C. W. Spaander

Summary: This study found that FIT can be used with high accuracy and sensitivity for the diagnosis of H. pylori, and is considered the most convenient test method. Non-invasive Hp-FIT test shows great promise for combined upper and lower gastrointestinal (pre-) cancerous screening. Further research should explore the clinical implications, benefits, and cost-effectiveness of this approach.

Peppelenbosch

Summary: The association between anti-H pylori IgG titers and the TLR1/6/10 locus was not replicated across different populations, and the variation at this locus affected TLR1-mediated cytokine production and TLR1 surface expression on monocytes and neutrophils.

Use of topical mineral powder as monotherapy for treatment of active peptic ulcer bleeding

Summary: The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of Hemospray as a monotherapy for active peptic ulcer bleeding. Results showed that Hemospray was successfully administered in nearly all patients, with a high rate of hemostasis achieved. Recurrent bleeding was observed in a small percentage of patients, but no adverse events were attributed to the use of Hemospray.

Socioeconomic differences in participation and diagnostic yield within the Dutch national colorectal cancer screening programme with faecal immunochemical testing

F. van Velthuysen, Maarten G. J. Thomeer, Harriet van Veldhuizen, Harry J. de Koning, Iris Lansdorp-Vogelaar, Monique E. van Leerdam

Summary: The participation rate in FIT screening is lower for individuals with a lower socioeconomic status (SES), but they have a higher detection rate for advanced neoplasia. Screening has the potential to reduce health inequalities in CRC mortality.

Levothyroxine use and the risk of colorectal cancer: a large population-based case-control study

Summary: This study did not find a reduced risk of colorectal cancer in levothyroxine users. When stratified by tumour subsite, a borderline significant risk reduction of rectal cancer was found, indicating a need for further research.

The Morpho-Molecular Landscape of Spitz Neoplasms

Carlo Alberto Dal Pozzo, Rocco Cappellesso

Summary: Spitz neoplasms are a heterogeneous group of melanocytic proliferations with variable histological characteristics. Recent discoveries have provided insight into the molecular landscape of Spitz lineage, identifying specific molecular events that correlate with distinct histological features. Detection of driver genetic alterations can help identify aggressive subtypes requiring further molecular investigations.

Risk of heart failure among colon and rectal cancer survivors: a population-based case control study

Josephina G. Kuiper, Myrthe P. P. Van Herk-Sukel, Valery E. P. P. Lemmens, Mathijs J. Kuiper, Ernst J. Kuipers, Ron M. C. Herings

Summary: This population-based case-control study found that colon and rectal cancer survivors have an increased risk of developing heart failure (HF). There are differences in risk factors for HF between colon cancer and rectal cancer patients. Physicians and general practitioners should be more aware of this potential increased risk in order to improve survival rates for these patients.

Summary: The incidence of cutaneous melanoma is increasing among fair-skinned population, with UV radiation being a consistent modifiable risk factor. A study in Italy's Veneto region explored the relationship between melanoma and altitude, finding differences in melanoma types and severity based on geographical regions, but no association with survival rates was observed.

Constitutive programmed death ligand 1 expression protects gastric G-cells from Helicobacter pylori-induced inflammation

Michiel C. Mommersteeg, Bing Ting Yu, Thierry P. P. van den Bosch, Johan H. von der Thusen, Ernst J. Kuipers, Michael Doukas, Maikel P. Peppelenbosch, Gwenny M. Fuhler

Summary: PD-L1 expression in gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) tissues is associated with PD-L1 positive G-cells. Gastric G-cells appear to be protected from H. pylori-induced immune destruction by expressing PD-L1. GIM itself does not express PD-L1 and is unlikely to evade immunosurveillance through PD-L1 expression.
