Gastric lymphoma
Primary gastric lymphoma is rare, accounting for about 5% of gastric tumours, but one of the common­est sites for ‘extra­common in men as in women and median age at diagnosis is 60–65 years, except in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), who develop the disease earlier. It often presents with the same non- specific signs of dyspepsia and vague epigastric discomfort. Surgery, therefore, has a limited role in the modern management of gastric lymphoma; it is used for resection of locoregional disease if medical treatment fails or in the emergency setting for bleed­ing or perforation.

Chronic peptic ulcer (believed to give rise to
1% of gastric cancer cases).

H. pylori infection. Seropositive patients (indi-
cating past or present infection) have a six- to
fold increased risk of gastric cancer.

Epstein- Barr virus (EBV) infection: it has been
estimated that 10% of gastric carcinomas are associated with EBV.

Linitis plastica (the ‘leather- bottle stomach’)
caused by submucosal infiltration of tumour with marked fibrous reaction. This produces a small, thickened, contracted stomach without, or with only superficial, ulceration; hence, occult bleed­ing is rare in this group.
Microscopic appearances
These tumours are all adenocarcinomas with varying degrees of differentiation. Linitis plastica consists of anaplastic cells arranged in clumps with surrounding fibrosis.
Malignant change in a benign ulcer is suggested when a chronic ulcer, with characteristic complete destruction of the whole muscle coat and its replacement by fibrous tissue and chronic inflam­matory cells, has a carcinoma developing in its edge.

Clinical features
Symptoms may be produced by the local effects of the tumour, by secondary deposits or by the general fea­tures of malignant disease.
Local symptoms
These are epigastric pain and discomfort, pain radiat­ing into the back (suggesting pancreatic involve­ment), vomiting, especially with a pyloric or antral tumour producing pyloric obstruction (see earlier in this chapter) and dysphagia in tumours of the cardia. The patient may also report a feeling of fullness after eating little (early satiety). Occasionally, carcinoma of the stomach may present with perforation or haemor­rhage (melaena and/or haematemesis).
16
Early andadvanced gastric carcinoma
Early gastric carcinoma is defined as adenocarci­noma limited to the mucosa or submucosa with or without regional lymph node metastases. The term ‘early’ does not refer to the size or age of the lesion. Gastric carcinoma infiltrating into the muscularis propria and beyond is defined as ‘advanced’.
Spread
Local. Spread is often well beyond the naked- eye limits of the tumour, and the oesophagus or the first part of the duodenum may be infiltrated. Adjacent organs (pancreas, abdominal wall, liver, transverse mesocolon and transverse colon) may be directly invaded. A gastrocolic fistula may develop.
Lymphatic. Lymph nodes along the lesser and greater curves are commonly involved. Lymph drainage from the cardiac end of the stomach may invade the mediastinal nodes and thence the

General features
Anorexia (an extremely common presenting symp­tom), loss of weight and anaemia.

Paraneoplastic syndromes
Haemolytic anaemia, membranous glomerulone­phritis and chronic disseminated intravascular coag­ulation leading to vascular thrombosis (Trousseau’s

) are occasionally seen.
Special investigations
Gastroscopy enables direct inspection and multi­ple biopsies of any lesion.
CT scan may show nodal and metastatic spread.
EUS enables assessment of lymph node spread and local tumour infiltration into pancreas, dia­phragmatic crura and liver.
Staging laparoscopy allows assessment of the pri-
mary tumour, including its mobility and invasion into adjacent organs, and examination of the peri­toneal cavity to exclude small metastases (perito­neal or liver) that are not detectable by CT scanning. If ascites is found, this can be sampled for cytology. The presence of even small metasta­ses means the patient has incurable disease.
It is important to note that considerable pain relief may occur when a gastric carcinoma is treated with acid suppression (H2­inhibitors), owing to diminution in the adjacent oedema, and may lead to a false diagnosis of benign ulcer.

They form an important quintet, and should always be considered together in terms of appropriate spe­cial investigations.
Endoscopic gastric cancer screening
Countries with a high prevalence of gastric cancer, such as Japan, have implemented systematic screen­ing programs and demonstrated the benefit of early detection and endoscopic resection of precancerous gastric lesions and early gastric cancers, offering curative treatment with considerably less morbidity. Japanese guidelines suggest biennial or triennial endoscopic screening for those over the age of 50. This approach could prevent up to 63% of gastric cancer- related mortality.
In the UK, screening is recommended in patients with multiple risk factors for gastric cancer (male, smoker, pernicious anaemia, family history in first degree relative) due to the lower incidence in the population as a whole.
Treatment ofgastric cancer
Endoscopic treatment
Endoscopic mucosal resection is the removal of a
mucosal lesion by resecting it from its deeper lay­ers using a snare instrument. This method does not allow for lesions larger than 2 cm to be removed en bloc.
Endoscopic submucosal dissection was devel-
oped for the local treatment of superficial early gastric cancer limited to the mucosal layer or with minimal invasion of the submucosal layer. The main goal of submucosal dissection is to retrieve the lesion en bloc for histopathological staging and to minimize the chance for local recurrence.
Gastrectomy
The three common types of gastrectomy for gastric cancer are:
Total gastrectomy: this involves removal of the

whole stomach including the cardia (oesophago­gastric junction) and the pylorus (Figure23.4a). It is indicated for tumours arising at or invading the proximal stomach.

year survival with resection. Invasion through the muscle wall but not into adjacent organs, or involve­ment of more than two perigastric lymph nodes (stage
2) reduces survival to 35%, whereas a more advanced local cancer with infiltration into surrounding tissues or more distant nodal involvement (stage 3) has a poorer survival rate. The presence of metastases (stage 4) is associated with death before 5 years.
Prognosis
This depends on the extent of spread and degree of differentiation of the tumour. Microscopic spread is often much further than apparent at operation, and lymph node spread has a poor prognosis. Early gastric carcinomas confined to the stomach wall and no more than two local lymph nodes (stage 1) have a 65%

Learning objectives
To recognize the link between obesity and health.To understand the evidence base with respect to treatment options for
obesity.
To understand the three main surgical procedures for treating obesity.
Bariatric surgery refers to the surgical treatment for obesity and its associated comorbidities. Bariatric derives from the ancient Greek word baros, meaning weight/pressure.
Given the effectiveness of bariatric surgery in treating metabolic diseases (type 2 diabetes, hyper­tension, dyslipidaemia), bariatric surgery is also referred to as ‘metabolic surgery’.
Obesity
Prevalence
It is widely acknowledged that there is a worldwide obesity pandemic. Mean worldwide body mass index (BMI) has been steadily increasing since 1975 and
tion will be classified as having obesity by 2030 (Box24.1). In the UK, 27% of the population is already classified as having obesity.
The estimated healthcare spend on obesity in 2014/15was £6.1 billion, and this is projected to reach £9.7 billion by 2050, with an estimated societal cost of almost £50 billion.

of any condition in less than 40 years cannot be accounted for by a change in our genetic framework; the only explanation can be environmental factors.
A fundamental shift in the availability/consump­tion of various foodstuffs (energy dense, micronutrient­poor foods) and changes in our physical environment have created what is referred to as the ‘obesogenic environment’.
Consequences ofobesity
Health and body weight are intricately linked. This was established in a 1999 population study, clearly demonstrating that mortality risk increases as BMI increases (Figure 24.1). It is estimated that obesity reduces life expectancy by 8–10 years.
Obesity is associated with higher risks of type 2 dia­betes, cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, and some cancers, among other conditions. Table 24.1 demonstrates this increased risk of disease states once a person’s BMI > 30kg/m

Treatments forobesity
Conservative treatments
A common ‘throw away comment’ is that people who suffer with excess weight (and its associated comorbidities) need to eat less and move more. The epidemiology of obesity tells us that this paradigm is not working (worldwide prevalence continues to increase).

Robust scientific literature also demonstrates the challenge of successfully implementing conserva­tive treatments. The highly regarded Look AHEAD study published in 2013 demonstrated that an intensive programme of eat less, move more, plus behavioural therapy did not result in sustained weight loss or improved cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In fact after four years, 23% of par­ticipants weighed more than they did at the start and only 20% of participants had lost 10% of their body weight.

Medical treatments
For the pharmaceutical industry, developing a tablet that effectively controls weight is a huge prize. The research and development funds available for this quest are enormous. Our evolving understanding of the link between body weight and gut hormones has enabled the development of analogues that manipu­late these gut hormones in order to support weight loss. Currently however, the European Medicines Agency has approved only three drug therapies (orl­istat, bupropion/naltrexone and liraglutide). Nonetheless, recent studies indicate that liraglutide may offer reasonable efficacy.
Surgical treatment
Bariatric/metabolic surgery has evolved considerably since its inception in 1954 (the jejuno­and subsequently the gastric bypass first performed by Mason in Iowa in 1966 scopic surgery in the early 1990s, alongside the publi­cation of long­precipitated a paradigm shift in recognizing that sur­gery offers effective and low risk treatment for obesity and metabolic disease.
The Swedish Obese Subjects study published in 2007 demonstrated that people with class II obesity who underwent bariatric surgery had a 24% greater chance of being alive after 15 years compared to those who underwent standard non- surgical care. A 2021 meta- analysis has underscored the same find­ing, documenting that for people with type 2 diabetes who underwent bariatric surgery, life expectancy increased by 9.3 years compared to those with type 2 diabetes undergoing standard care. A further system­atic review and meta- analysis observed that following bariatric surgery, the relative risk reductions for the development of type 2 diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidaemia were 61%, 64% and 77%, respectively.
The evidence base to support bariatric surgery is very strong. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recognized this by publishing clinical guidance in 2014 (CG189). This supported treatment with bariatric surgery for people with class III obesity and for those with class II obesity who also have a metabolic disorder. Despite the overwhelming

evidence that surgery offers effective treatment, as well as the recommendations of NICE CG189, fewer than 1% of those who are eligible for bariatric surgery in the UK actually receive it.
Mechanism ofaction
Essentially, all bariatric surgery works by reducing absorption of calories from the intestinal tract. Our understanding of the mechanisms by which this is achieved is evolving, and includes:
Neuronal pathways.
• Hormonal changes.
• Alterations in the gut microbiome.
• Bile salt function.
The relative contributions of these mechanisms varies between the different procedures. The three main bariatric operations are gastric band, gastric bypass and gastric sleeve (Figure 24.2). There are other recognized bariatric procedures (biliopancre­atic diversion; duodenal switch; one anastomosis gastric bypass) but these are beyond the scope of this chapter.
Gastric band
An adjustable band is placed around the proximal aspect of the stomach to create a small pouch above the band. The surgical complication rate for this pro­cedure is so low that this is commonly performed as a day case procedure. There is no manipulation of gut anatomy and the band can be removed at any time (itis reversible).
Weight loss for this procedure is in the order of 16% total body weight. However, despite its simplicity, safety and effectiveness, its popularity has recently waned considerably due to the long­band slipping, dysphagia, acid reflux and a high rate of reoperation.
Gastric bypass
The main body of the stomach and the duodenum/ proximal small bowel are bypassed by stapling across the proximal stomach in order to create a small volume (20–30mL) gastric pouch. The gastric pouch is reconnected to the gastrointestinal tract via a Roux

limb (sometimes called the alimentary limb) that is measured to approximately 60–120 cm long. The Roux limb is then reconnected to the bypassed duo­denum/proximal small bowel (the biliopancreatic limb). Classically, this operation is described as a Roux- en- Y gastric bypass (the two prongs of the Y being the Roux limb and biliopancreatic limb; the stem of the Y being the common channel), similar to the operation performed for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease and distal gastric cancer.
Weight loss for this procedure is in the order of 31% total body weight and there is significant amelioration of the metabolic conditions (type 2 diabetes, hyper­tension, dyslipidaemia). Patients must take lifelong vitamin supplements.
Gastric band
Sleeve gastrectomy
Worldwide, sleeve gastrectomy is now the most popu­lar bariatric procedure. Approximately 85% of the body of the stomach is resected to create a narrow stomach sleeve, but the duodenum/small bowel is left intact. Its simplicity, effectiveness and versatility (in terms of future operative procedures) are key to its popularity.
Weight loss for this procedure is in the order of 25% total body weight and there is significant amelioration of the metabolic conditions, although probably less so than for gastric bypass.
Sleeve gastrectomy
Complications of surgery (seeBox24.2)
Laparoscopic bariatric surgery is now recognized to be as safe as laparoscopic cholecystectomy, with postoperative length of stay around 1–2 days. Perioperative mortality is fewer than 1:1000 cases and surgical complications are in the order of 2–3% (bleeding, infection, staple line/anastomotic leak, ulceration at the gastric pouch anastomosis, gastro­oesophageal reflux).
In the long term, micronutrient deficiencies can occur, but these are mitigated against by adherence to daily multivitamin and mineral over-

The decision as to which procedure is best suited to which patient is based upon multidisciplinary team assessment. The opinions, experience and support of bariatric physicians, dietitians, psychologists, anaesthe­tists and surgeons ensure that the right patients receive the right treatments. In the face of a continued obesity/ metabolic epidemic, the application of bariatric surgery is now well-
established and evolving quickly.
