Surveillance Strategies of Patients With Precancerous Conditions and Lesions in the Stomach


Sponsor

University of Latvia

Enrollment

2,000 participants

Start Date

Jun 19, 2017

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The project will aim to identify and determine subgroups of patients with different risks of progression to gastric cancer and to assess appropriate follow-up intervals. Implementing risk stratification only high risk individuals will be offered and performed endoscopic surveillance.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Interventions

PROCEDUREUpper endoscopy with biopsies

Upper endoscopy with proper biopsy work-up will be used for identification and stratification of gastric lesions as well as acquisition of biopsies for histopathological examination, including H.pylori detection

PROCEDUREPlasma/serum sampling

Plasma/serum sampling will be used to obtain information for group stratification, e.g. H.pylori status determination, serum biomarkers

PROCEDUREBiopsies for gastric microbiota

During upper endoscopy biopsies for gastric microbiota analysis will be obtained

PROCEDUREFaecal sample acquisition

Faecal samples will be obtained for faecal occult blood testing as well as microbiota analysis
