  • Gastric Cancer, An Issue of Gastroenterology Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 42-2
    • Steven Moss
    • English
    Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Although the incidence of gastric cancer has declined over the past century in the United States, it remains one of the most common gastrointestinal neoplasms, particularly in immigrants and the socio-economically deprived. Recent years have seen major advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of gastric cancer (especially regarding the importance of Helicobacter pylori and its associated inflammatory response) and the emergence of adjuvant oncologic therapies of proven benefit for advanced cases, in addition to surgery. As for gastric adenocarcinoma, elucidation of the underlying biology and molecular pathogenesis has led to much progress in the management of two other malignant gastric neoplasms, gastrointestinal stromal tumors and marginal zone B-cell (“MALT”) lymphomas. This monograph highlights these developments, presenting an updated overview of gastric cancer that will be of interest to all practicing gastroenterologists.

Cet ouvrage, à la fois théorique et pratique, offre au praticien toutes les informations indispensables à la prise en charge d'un patient présentant un double diagnostic. Après un rappel des aspects neurobiologiques et des troubles liés à l'alcoolisme, il présente les spécificités de chaque population (adolescent, femme, personne âgée, etc.), puis il précise les comorbidités (alcool et troubles anxieux, alcool et troubles bipolaires, etc.), et enfin propose des pistes thérapeutiques pour la prise en charge des patients. Permettant une meilleure compréhension des comorbidités entre troubles addictifs et troubles mentaux, cet ouvrage fournit tous les outils nécessaires à une meilleure prise en charge et un meilleur accompagnement des patients vers la guérison.
