Lack of Increased Risk of Lymphoma with Thiopurine Therapy Regardless of Dose and Duration of Treatment in Japanese Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
Conclusion: Dose or duration of thiopurine treatment did not explain a lack of increased risk of NHL with thiopurine use in Japanese patients with IBDs.Digestion (Source: Digestion)

Chemoprevention of Oesophageal Squamous-Cell Carcinoma and Adenocarcinoma: A Multicentre Retrospective Cohort Study
Conclusion: COX2Is, statins, metformin, and PPIs could help in prevention of ESCC, and aspirin and steroids may be chemopreventive for both types of oesophageal cancer.Digestion (Source: Digestion)

Is There an Increasing Incidence of Gastroesophageal Junctional Adenocarcinoma and Barrett Esophagus in Asia? A Review of Diagnostic Conundrums
Background: Epidemiology data of gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancers in Asia are extremely scarce. It is hardly registered by any cancer registry in the region, and only a few reports are available. Based on existing literature works, the overall trend indicates similar or gradually increasing GEJ cancers in Asia but comparably less than the West. The increasing trend in Asia is likely a result of rising risk factors, especially of gastroesophageal reflux disease and obesity.Summary: However, epidemiology data may be misleading due to several contentious diagnostic issues. The diagnostic conundrums are due to inherent ...

The Impact of a Mediterranean Diet on the Gut Microbiome in Healthy Human Subjects: A Pilot Study
Conclusion: This small pilot study of controlled diets demonstrates that the MD can rapidly alter the gut microbiome in healthy subjects at the level of global microbial diversity and individual genera. These data confirm the findings of previous observational studies and establish the feasibility of conducting longer term studies on the impact of the MD on the flora of the GI tract and its relationship to digestive diseases.Digestion (Source: Digestion)

Indications of Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Undifferentiated Early Gastric Cancer: Current Status and Future Perspectives for Further Expansion
Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a widely accepted and minimally invasive treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC) without the risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM). However, undifferentiated-type EGC (UD-EGC) is considered to have a relatively high risk of LNM. Recently, the Japan Clinical Oncology Group conducted a nonrandomized confirmatory trial (JCOG1009/1010) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ESD for UD-EGC. Herein, we review the results of JCOG1009/1010 and the possibility of further expanding the indications for ESD.Summary: JCOG1009/1010 showed excellent technical results and 5-year overall...

Detection of Early Gastric Cancer after < b > < i > Helicobacter pylori < /i > < /b > Eradication
Background: Based on evidence thatHelicobacter pylori eradication reduces the development of gastric cancer and other diseases such as peptic ulcer, eradication therapy has prevailed. However, gastric cancer can develop even after successful eradication.Summary: In this review article, we searched for studies that identified the characteristics of primary and metachronous gastric cancers afterH. pylori eradication, the risk factors for the development of these cancers after successfulH. pylori eradication, and whether image-enhanced endoscopy is useful for diagnosing gastric cancer after eradication. A gastritis-like appea...
