gastritis and intestinal metaplasia. Two serologic screening procedures for gastric cancer that have been explored clinically are H. pylori serology and serum pepsin­ogen (PG). The role of H. pylori serology as a stand-alone screen- ing test is limited due to its low sensitivity and inability to detect precursor lesions. An H. pylori infection has a strong link with the development of gastric cancer. However, previous studies have shown that the gastric cancer risk is actually higher in H. pylori-negative patients. This paradox probably can be explained by the spontaneous disappearance of H. pylori as the chronic gastritis progresses to AG and IM, making the gastric microenvironment nonconducive (Yoon and Kim 2015). There are two types of PG, PG I (produced by the chief and mucous neck cells) and PG II (also additionally secreted by the pyloric and
Brunner’s glands) (Choi et al. 2012). As the severity of atrophic gastritis increases, the PG I level decreases but the PG II level remains stable (Park and Kim 2015). As a result, a PG I value of <70 ng/mL and a PGI/II ratio of <3 have been used as cut-offs for gastric cancer screening, with a sensitivity and specificity of 84.6% and 73.5%, respectively (Kitahara et al. 1999; Sugano K. 2015).
Multiple Japanese studies have evaluated the combination of H. pylori serology and serum PG as a non-invasive screening test. This strategy is known as the ABC method (implemented in Nishitokyo city since 2011) (Yamaguchi et al. 2016). Patients are stratified into four groups according to the positivity/nega­tivity of the H. pylori serology and PG I with PGI/II ratio values. In the negative group, no further testing is required. In the other three groups, H. pylori eradication therapy is recom- mended, followed by surveillance endoscopy every three years (H. pylori-positive, PG-negative group), two years (H. pylori­positive, PG-positive group), or annually (H. pylori-negative, PG-positive group). These surveillance intervals vary according to the gastric cancer risk, as shown by HR of 1.1 to 4.2, 6.0 to
11.23, and 8.2 to 14.81, respectively (Kishikawa et al. 2015).
Biomarkers for Gastric Cancer
Early detection of gastric cancer is challenging, mainly due to either individuals’ lack of symptoms or the presence of non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms. Therefore, many studies have been conducted to identify novel biomarkers that could aid in the screening and surveillance of precursor lesions/early gastric can­cer, as well as in prognostication and predicting treatment response. A recent systematic review has identified a total of 185 novel biomarkers for gastric cancer that have been sufficiently validated but need further evaluation in the low-prevalence population. In terms of the type of biomarkers in gastric cancer, the most commonly studied category is microRNA and other RNAs (n = 80), followed by autoantibodies and other immuno­logical markers (n = 52), proteins (n = 44), and circulating tumor DNA (n = 7). Apart from serum PG, other biomarkers are yet to be used in clinical practice and certainly need further evaluation and validation (Calanzani et al. 2021).
Figure 2 Using image-enhanced and magnification endoscopy, features of gastric intestinal metaplasia include light blue crest and marginal turbid band (Kohoutova et al. 2021/ MDPI/CC BY 4.0).
Surveillance
Regarding endoscopic surveillance intervals for AG and IM, the Japanese and Koreans do not specifically recommend any surveil­lance intervals, except for the existing intervals of screening for gastric cancer every two years (either with radiography or endos­copy) and conducting endoscopy surveillance at three-, two-, and one-year intervals according to the ABC method. Nevertheless, other major gastrointestinal societies, such as AGA (Gupta et al. 2020; Shah et al. 2021), BSG (Banks et al. 2019), and the European Society of Gastroenterology (ESGE) (Pimentel-Nunes et al. 2019), do provide recommendations on the surveillance of these neoplastic precursor lesions, albeit with slight variations among them. In general, adherence to the Sydney biopsy protocol

is recommended; two biopsies from the gastric antrum, two from the body (at the lesser and greater curvatures), and one from the incisura. In addition, all individuals undergoing endoscopy should be tested for H. pylori infection and treated if positive, with subsequent testing to confirm eradication.
Individuals with extensive AG/IM, defined as the involve­ment of antrum and corpus, are recommended to undergo endoscopic surveillance every three years. Surveillance is not recommended if the finding is only limited to the antrum. However, with any additional risk factors, such as a family his­tory of gastric cancer, an incomplete subtype of intestinal meta­plasia, and persistent H. pylori infection, such individuals are advised to undergo surveillance every three years as well, given the perceived high risk for gastric cancer. ESGE, along with other European Societies, in 2019 guidelines (Pimentel-Nunes et al. 2019), further recommends a shorter surveillance interval (1–2 years) in individuals with extensive AG/IM and the presence of a family history of gastric cancer. In individuals with non-visible dysplasia, BSG recommends an immediate repeat endoscopy for extensive gastric mapping with biopsy (Banks et al. 2019). If persistent dysplasia is detected, both BSG and European guidelines recommend surveillance in 1 year and 6 months for low-grade and high-grade dysplasia, respec­tively. BSG further recommends a multidisciplinary team discussion in the case of non-visible, high-grade dysplasia.
An expert review by AGA additionally provides a few best practices for autoimmune atrophic gastritis. Individuals with the clinical suspicion of pernicious anemia should undergo endoscopy with multiple biopsies to establish the diagnosis of corpus-predominant atrophic gastritis. As part of the endo­scopic screening for AG/IM/dysplasia, they should also be endoscopically screened for type 1 neuroendocrine tumors. No clear-cut endoscopic surveillance interval for autoimmune atrophic gastritis has been suggested and, therefore, the fre­quency of endoscopy should be based on shared decision-mak­ing with the patients. However, if a small endocrine tumor (<1 cm) is detected, it should be resected and endoscopic surveil­lance performed every 1–2 years (Shah et al. 2021).
Prevention
The most important primary prevention step for gastric cancer is the treatment of H. pylori infection and the subsequent confirma- tion of its eradication. A meta-analysis of seven randomized trials (6695 participants) showed a larger proportion of gastric cancer cases in untreated individuals vs. treated individuals (56/3307 (1.7%) vs. 37/3388 (1.1%)). The risk of gastric cancer was also reduced in H. pylori-treated individuals, with a relative risk of 0.65 (4- to 10-year follow-up) (Fuccio et al. 2009). One randomized placebo-controlled trial was performed in China involving 1630 healthy carriers of H. pylori infection (988 participants had pre­cancerous lesions). Overall, no significant difference was detected
in the incidence of gastric cancer in both groups after a mean fol­low-up of 7.5 years: 7 cases in the treatment group vs. 11 cases in the placebo group, p = 0.33. However, in a subgroup analysis after excluding the participants with precancerous lesions, eradication of H. pylori significantly decreased the development of gastric cancer, that is, 0 cases in the treatment group vs. 6 cases in the placebo group, p = 0.02 (Wong et al. 2004).
Another randomized controlled trial (the Shandong Intervention Trial) in a high-risk region in China (Linqu County) has shown a significant reduction in gastric cancer, by 39%, with the H. pylori treatment during the follow-up period of 15 years (Ma et al. 2012). In the treatment group, the H. pylori eradication rate was reported as 72.9%. This trial also demon­strated the feasibility of conducting a large-community-based H. pylori screening and eradication program. In this trial, 53.1% of the county’s eligible population (total of 347,811 individuals aged 25–54 years) participated, indicating a good acceptance among the residents (Pan et al. 2016). Another important study was recently conducted by the Taiwanese group on a high-risk population dwelling on Matsu Islands. In this cohort study, a very good coverage for mass screening and eradication had been achieved (85.5%), with a subsequent fall in the prevalence rate of H. pylori to 15% from 64.2%. The long-term benefits included a reduction in gastric cancer incidence by 53%, a reduction in gastric cancer mortality by 25%, and a significant decline in prevalence rates of premalignant gastric lesions, that is, atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia, from 7.1% to 0 and from 11.8% to 1.8%, respectively. Interestingly, when the decreasing trends were extrapolated, a greater reduction of 68% in gastric cancer incidence and of 39% in mortality rate, would be expected by 2025 (Chiang et al. 2021).
Currently, in the majority of the countries, H. pylori screen- ing strategy is mainly opportunistic based. In some high-risk gastric cancer regions, community-based H. pylori screening and eradication programs have already been launched (Chiang et al. 2021; Lee et al. 2013; Pan et al. 2016). In an ideal situation, a vaccine against H. pylori probably is the best option to ensure mass H. pylori eradication. However, the progress of such vac- cines is slow and still uncertain, with most of the vaccines cur­rently being developed are still in the preclinical stage (Sutton and Boag 2019).
Since cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, and dietary factors have been associated with gastric cancer to some extent, individuals should be advised to practice a healthy life­style, although the evidence for these preventive measures is still lacking. The role of aspirin, NSAIDs, and statin as chemo­prevention in gastric cancer has also been explored in multiple observational and case-control studies. Most studies showed a risk reduction of 30 – 50% (Zakko et al. 2017). However, due to the heterogenicity of these studies, lack of robust study design, and an unclear benefit/risk profile, their sole usage as gastric cancer chemoprevention is not recommended for now.
56 1 UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL CANCER
https://t.me/medicina_free
Summary
Upper GI malignancies are among the most prevalent cancers globally and have high disease burden with significant negative impacts on public health. As the first step toward tackling their rising incidence, it is critical to recognize the potential associ­ated risk factors, such as chronic GERD symptoms, obesity, high intake of salty/pickled foods, and H. pylori infection, and take subsequent preventive measures. More robust, high-qual­ity study designs are needed to evaluate the efficacy and cost-ef­fectiveness of existing screening and surveillance programs for BE, ESCC, and gastric cancer. Similarly, more evidence and systematic guidelines are needed for the screening and surveil­lance strategy in high-risk groups in the low- and intermediate­incidence population. Endoscopy is a great screening tool, and with the emergence of advanced imaging technologies, it will definitely improve the detection rate of precursor lesions/early cancers. Nevertheless, less invasive tools and non-invasive bio­markers are needed for a better screening/surveillance approach for accurate risk stratification so that a well-informed prognosis can be offered to the patients.
Key Take Home Messages
• Majority of gastrointestinal societies in the West advocate the endoscopic screening for Barrett’s esophagus in high-risk individuals; having chronic GERD symptoms with ≥3 of the following risk factors: male, ≥50 years, Caucasian, smoking, obesity, and family history of Barrett’s esophagus or esophageal adenocarcinoma.
• Mass screening for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and gastric cancer are limited to high-incidence countries/regions. Screening for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is implemented in certain regions in China, while for gastric cancer, screening program has been established in Japan, South Korea, and certain regions in China.
• Optimal endoscopic practices are very important when conducting surveillance endoscopy. For Barrett’s esophagus surveillance, endoscopists are required to adhere to Seattle’s biopsy protocol and recommended to apply chromoendoscopy (dye or virtual) to enhance dysplasia detection. For atrophic gastritis/intestinal metaplasia, Sydney biopsy protocol is recommended while maintaining maximum mucosa visualization by applying magnifying narrow band imaging, usage of defoaming agent, and adequate inspection time.
• Tackling the modifiable risk factors forms the important step in preventing upper gastrointestinal cancers. Treating the obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease would reduce the incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma while adopting healthier lifestyle such as stopping tobacco smoking, high fruits/vegetables consumption and low pickled foods/hot drinks intake might prevent the occurrence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In addition, individuals should be screened for Helicobacter pylori infection and offered eradication therapy in order to prevent gastric cancer.
Areas for Further Research
• Novel biomarkers for screening, surveillance, and prognostication of upper gastrointestinal precursor lesions/cancers are in dire need. To date, multiple biomarkers have been explored, but lack of clinical validation.
• More randomized trials are needed in regard to the application of image enhanced endoscopy incorporating an artificial intelligence for early detection of pre-cancerous upper gastrointestinal lesions.
• More studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy and strategy of cancers screening among high-risk individuals/groups in low and moderate-incidence regions/countries.
• More studies are needed to provide the best evidence-base recommendation on the surveillance intervals for gastric cancer precursor lesions, that is, atrophic gastritis and gastric intestinal metaplasia.

Epidemiology
Esophageal cancer is the seventh most common incident can­cer, and is the sixth most common cause of mortality world­wide, disproportionately affecting men (Sung et al. 2021). In the United States alone, it is estimated that in 2022 there will be over 20,000 new cases of esophageal cancer resulting in over 16,000 deaths (Siegel et al. 2022).
Esophageal cancer has two major histologic subtypes: squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), which is prevalent in East Asia, Central Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa, and adenocarci­noma (EAC), which is found mainly in North America, Western Europe, and Australia (Arnold et al. 2020). EAC is more prevalent among those of Caucasian race (Then et al.
2020). EAC primarily affects males in the sixth or seventh decade of life. Furthermore, the incidence of EAC has increased over time beginning in the 1970s (Codipilly et al. 2021).
Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is the single most important risk factor for EAC, and the risk of EAC increases depending on the degree of dysplasia within BE, ranging from 3.3/1,000 person years for those with non-dysplastic BE to 8/100 person years in those with high grade dysplasia (HGD) (Shaheen et al. 2016). The main risk factors for BE include male gender, age over 50 years, central obesity (waist circumference >102 cm or waist to hip ratio >0.9), current or past history of smoking, and family history of BE and/or EAC in a first-degree relative.

Pathological Features
Barrett esophagus is characterized by the normal squamous epi­thelium replaced by metaplastic columnar epithelium including goblet cell, paneth cells, and gastric foveolar cells and glands (both cardiac and oxyntic types) corresponding to the region of salmon colored appearance identified endoscopically in esoph­agus (Figure 1). In the United States, identification of intestinal metaplasia (goblet cells) is required for the histological diagnosis of Barrett esophagus (Shaheen NJ, Am J Gastroenterology 2016) based on the evidence only metaplastic columnar epithelium with presence of intestinal metaplasia is with increased risk of neoplastic progression. This presence of intestinal metaplasia is not required in Europe, only the histologically confirmed meta­plastic columnar epithelium endoscopically visibly above the GEJ is sufficient for diagnosis of Barrett esophagus by British Society of Gastroenterology (Bennett C et al 2012, 2015). In fact, intestinal metaplasia can occur in the stomach whereas deep oesophageal gland ducts with metaplasia above and the mosaic of metaplasias only seen in Barrett’s are diagnostic. Multilayered epithelium contains columnar epithelium with acidic mucin lying on top of a layer of stratified squamous cells and is thought to possibly representing a precursor or intermediate step in the development of Barrett esophagus (Glickman JN, AJSP 2001). It is often identified at the squamocolumnar junction in patients with gastroesophageal reflux of Barrett esophagus, the identification of multilayered epithelium of alone is not sufficient for diagnosis of Barrett esophagus.
Duplication of muscularis mucosae and fibromuscular anomaly with prolapse-type change can be seen in Barrett esophagus. Duplicated muscularis mucosae can be patchy or
