[Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas of the stomach: modern state of the problem].

In article epidemiological aspects NHL are shined, the basic attempts of kliniko-morphological ordering lymphomas are described, opened them morphimmunological aspects. As clinical value of various histologic classifications of NHL is shined. On the basis of studying of all displays of NHL are noted by the most significant factors of the adverse forecast, taken as a principle international prognostics index, risks of early progressing of NHL are described also. Results of 5-year-old survival rate reveal at NHL depending on morphimmunological variant.

[Endosonographic criteria for indolent and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the stomach].

UNLABELLED: At the present stage use only standard visual endoscopy and a radiological method of research of a pathology of a stomach does not meet the requirements of oncologists. In spite of the fact that these techniques continue to remain base and prime in inspection of a digestive tract, the leading part in specification of character of pathology of GI tract is taken now endosonography method. A research objective: to establish endoscopic ultrasonic criteria of diagnostics indolentics and aggressive NHL of stomach. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For studying of possibilities endosonography in diagnostics NHL of a stomach 46 patients have been analysed, during the period since 2005 for 2009 to all patients after videogastroscopy was carried out endoscopic scanning, and the tumour biopsy further was made. RESULTS: Are defined by us endosonography criteria NHL of a stomach: the tumor starts with deep layers mucous and submucosal layer, extends mainly on submucosal layer, it is marked multicentrial defeats, echoic tumors is always lowered or heteroechoic with hypo echoic inclusions. On the basis of this data by us are defined endosonography criteria various morphoimmunological variants of NHL of a stomach. Estimating possibilities endoscopic ultrasonic diagnostics it has been revealed that its diagnostic accuracy makes 87.7%. In 84.9% at use EUS it is possible to assume authentically presence lymph proliferative process of a stomach and in 94.7% endosonography will allow to exclude authentically pathological process in a stomach.

[Clinical and morphological aspects of MALT-gastric lymphoma].

UNLABELLED: Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) conception has been extensively developing for last 20 years. THE AIM: The aim of this work was to elaborate clinico-morphological and immunohistochemical criteria of gastric MALT-lymphomas and to differentiate them from another with similar histology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 1983 and 2007, 704 patients with diagnosis of extranodal lymphoma were observed in Russian Cancer Research Center. The work included biopsy and postoperation samples from 115 patients with primary gastric lymphoma, who were observed in Russian Cancer Research Center since 1995. On presented material with primary lymphomas were elaborated morphological criteria of MALT-lymphoma diagnosis for gastrobiopsy, based on histological, immunohistochemical and genetic examination. Also were devised differential diagnostic criteria of MALT-lymphoma. RESULTS: Follow morphological signs were estimated: cell composition, atypia of neoplastic elements, presence of plasmocellular differentiation of lymphoid cells, expression of plasmocytary infiltration, lymphoepithelial lesion and reactive lymphoid follicles with or without colonization, presence of blasts. So, in 35.2% cases part of neoplastic elements had the aspect of monocytoid B-lymphocytes. In the most of observations were revealed plasmatic cells. More often they were under integumentary epithelium as massive layer (46.47%), more rare they were scattered in superficial sections of lamina propria among cells of leukocyte row (39.43%). Lymphoepithelial lesions (LELs) are aggregates from three and more marginal zone cells, destroyed epithelium of glands, were revealed in half of cases. In 17.14% cases were ("blast") LELs, generated by large blasts. For reactive process T-lymphocytes predominate over B-lymhpocytes in the lymphocellular infiltrate, or T-lymphocytes and B-lymhpocytes are in equal ratio. The next important sign is coexpression T-cell marker CD43 on neoplastic B-cells. Cases of MALT-lymphoma with t(11; 18) are resistant to the antihelicobacter therapy. CONCLUSION: The most informative morphological, immunohistochemical features were ascertained as in diagnosis, as in differentiation with another neoplasms with similar morphology and reactive lymphoid infiltrates.

[Endoscopic criteria for diagnosis of various macroscopic variants of non-Hodgkin's gastric lymphoma].

UNLABELLED: BACKGROUND; Many investigators account that a stomach is the most often localization of gastrointestinal lymphomas. But endoscopic semiotics and diagnostic of those lesions is elaborated insufficiently. PURPOSE: The purpose of our investigation was working out of non-Hodgkin's gastric lymphoma endoscopic criteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examinated 250 patients with gastric lymphoma, from those primary and secondary lesions were in 160 (64%) cases and 90 (36%) cases, respectively. All patients was performed standard videoendoscopy, which included magnified endoscopy with NBI (Narrow Band Imaging), followed by chromoendoscopy with indigocarmine (0.4% solution) and EUS. Diagnosis of lymphoma was confirmed by morphology and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: According to our observations gastroenterological pathology duration to diagnosis of tumor was very variable: diagnosis was established during first 3 months in 30.6% cases (49 patients), during 6 month in 18.1% cases (29 patients), from 6 to 12 months in 15.6% cases (25 patients). Separately should was noted, that almost in one third cases primary gastric lymphoma was diagnosed after one year. Macroscopic form of gastric tumor was represented by follow variants: exophytic--22 cases (8.8%), infiltrative--54 cases (21.6%), ulcerous--37 cases (14.8%), infiltrative-ulcerous--71 cases (28.4%), similar to gastritis--36 cases (14.4%), mixed--30 cases (12%). The second endpoint of our work was detection of macroscopic features depending on morphological variant of lymphoma. Analysis of represented data demonstrated prevalence similar to gastritis form (33.4%) for MALT-lymphoma, infiltrative-ulcerous form as for diffuse large-cell B-cell lymphoma of MALT-type, as for diffuse large-cell B-cell lymphoma--45.0% and 41.1%, respectively. Infiltrative form was more often in group of patients with follicular lymphoma--31.8%, and ulcerous form predominated for Burkett's lymphoma--60.0%. CONCLUSION; Were established the most informative endoscopic criteria for diagnosis non-Hodgkin's gastric lymphoma.

[Endoscopic resection of mucosal and submucosal stomach layers as the diagnostic and medical procedure in oncology].

Owing to introduction in a daily practice of modern medical technologies there was real improvement of duly diagnostics of early forms of a cancer of a gastroenteric path. In this connection interest to endoscopic methods of its treatment has increased. According to the world literature, parameters of a radical resection of a mucous membrane of a stomach in occasion of early cancer vary in a range of 75-98% depending on the macroscopical form of growth and the sizes of a tumors. There is one more very important parameter on which efficiency of a method EMR depends, it is the fact of use of a technique of removal of pathological formation by the uniform block or by parts. As us, with the purpose of all-round studying opportunities of a EMR and ESR was carried out as diagnostic procedure at infiltrative forms of a cancer and lymphomas of stomach.Thus, the purpose of our research is studying true value and the importance of application of EMR and ESR, as with the purpose of specifying diagnostics, and a curative method in oncology.

[Autofluorescence diagnosis of malignant tumors of the head and neck]. / Autofliuorestsentnaia diagnostika zlokachestvennykh opukholei golovy i shei.

A new method for diagnosing human malignant tumors is dealt with, which is based on fluorescence of malignant neoplasms and their adjacent normal tissue. To measure the fluorescence spectra, a fiber optic system and a multi-channel optic spectral analyser have been designed. While analysing the resultant spectra, a greater fluorescence excess was observed in the red wave band in the tumors than in normal tissue. Further investigations are required in order to use the method in question in clinical diagnosis.

The analysis of the data of 352 fiber bronchoscopies performed in 142 cases of small-cell lung cancer before, in the course and after chemotherapy or chemoradiation treatment makes a case for complex application of X-ray and endoscopic procedures since the data on diagnosis and response to treatment obtained under the separate use of either procedure agreed in 67.7% and 80.3% of cases only.

[The role of endoscopic study in the diagnosis of precancerous gastric pathology and identification of a risk group]. / Rol' éndoskopicheskogo issledovaniia v diagnostike predopukholevoi patologii zheludka i formirovanii gruppy riska.

The results of endoscopic diagnosis and case follow-up of 686 patients with precancerous gastric conditions usually identified as a risk group (chronic gastritis, polyps, peptic ulcer, conditions following distal stomach resections) have shown that in patients with symptoms of epithelial dysplasia of gastric mucosa indices of cancer detectability significantly exceeded those in similar pathological conditions without symptoms of epithelial dysplasia. They were 22.0 +/- 2.5% and 2.5 +/- 0.8%, respectively; indices of stage I stomach cancer detectability were 9.9 +/- 1.8% and 0.2 +/- 0.2%, respectively. Patients with precancerous stomach diseases with moderate and severe epithelial dysplasia found in their gastric biopsies, should be attributed to a risk group, and these changes of gastric mucosa must be regarded as the main criterion for the identification of such a group.

The value of various endoscopic methods in diagnosing lymphosarcoma was assessed in 149 suspects aged 3-14 years. Fiberscopy of the upper digestive tract was performed in 130 children of whom 43 revealed lymphosarcoma in Waldeyer's ring whereas in 87 lymphoid hyperplasia was detected. Laparoscopy was carried out in 17 children, esophagogastroduodenoscopy--2 and colonoscopy--in one case Endoscopic methods proved to be of high diagnostic value, easily available and safe for examination of children suspected for lymphosarcoma.

[Results of examination of a population from a region with a high incidence of esophageal cancer: precancerous lesions of the esophageal mucosa]. / Rezul'taty obsledovaniia naseleniia v regione s vysokoi zabolevaemost'iu rakom poshchevoda: predrakovye porazheniia slizistoi obolochki pishchevoda.

Esophagoscopic evidence of chronic esophagitis of varying degree was found in 60% of the total number of 1348 examined males living in a region with high incidence of esophageal cancer. The high incidence of chronic esophagitis corroborates the hypothesis that this disease is a precursor of esophageal cancer.

[The probability of malignant degeneration of stomach polyps]. / Veroiatnost' malignizatsii polipov zheludka.

A retrospective analysis of the endoscopic diagnostic data on 151 cases of gastric polyps of various histological structure was carried out. A relationship between the risk of malignant transformation of gastric polyps, on the one hand, and their histology, presence and degree of dysplasia, on the other, was established. Epithelial dysplasia, in pronounced degree included, was observed in 33.7% of patients with hyperplastic polyps and in all cases of gastric adenoma. Epithelial dysplasia of hyperplastic polyps was mild or moderate in most cases while that of adenomatous polyps was moderate or grave. Gastric cancer as a consequence of malignant transformation of polyps was detected in 15 (9.9%) patients (hyperplastic polyps--2; adenomatous polyps--13). No objective endoscopic criteria for establishing the risk of polyp transformation were developed. Grave epithelial dysplasia, i.e. precancerous lesions in the gastric mucosa, may be suggested as such criterion. Moderate or grave dysplasia of the polyp epithelium should be considered in forming the group at risk first and foremost.
