AIM:To investigate the effects of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori)eradication therapy for treatment of peptic ulcer on the incidence of gastric cancer. METHODS:A multicenter prospective cohort study was conducted between November 2000 and December 2007 in Yamagata Prefecture,*** study included patients with H pylori-positive peptic ulcer who decided themselves whether to receive H pylori eradication(eradication group)or conventional antacid therapy(non-eradication group).Incidence of gastric cancer in the two groups was determined based on the results of annual endoscopy and questionnaire surveys,as well as Yamagata Prefectural Cancer Registry data,and was compared between the two groups and by results of H pylori ***:A total of 4133 patients aged between 13 and 91 years(mean 52.9 years)were registered,and 56 cases of gastric cancer were identified over a mean follow-up of 5.6 *** sex-and age-adjusted incidence ratio of gastric cancer in the eradication group, as compared with the non-eradication group,was 0.58 (95%CI:0.28-1.19)and ratios by follow-up period(3 years)were 1.16(0.27-5.00),0.50 (0.17-1.49),and 0.34(0.09-1.28),*** follow-up tended to be associated with better prevention of gastric cancer,although not to a significant *** significant difference in incidence of gastric cancer was observed between patients with successful eradication therapy(32/2451 patients,1.31%)and those with treatment failure(11/639 patients,1.72%).Among patients with duodenal ulcer,which is known to be more prevalent in younger individuals,the incidence of gastric cancer was significantly less in those with successful eradication therapy(2/845 patients,0.24%)than in those with treatment failure(3/216 patients,1.39%). CONCLUSION:H pylori eradication therapy for peptic ulcer patients with a mean age of 52.9 years at registration did not significantly decrease the incidence of gastric cancer.

AIM: To test protracted irinotecan infusion plus a low-dose cisplatin in this Phase Ⅱ trial to decrease its toxic-ity. METHODS: The eligibility criteria were: (1) histologi-cally proven measurable gastric cancer; (2) performance status of 0 or 1; (3) no prior chemotherapy or comple-tion of prior therapy at least 4 wk before enrollment; (4) adequate function of major organs; (5) no other active malignancy; and (6) written informed consent. The regi-men consisted of irinotecan (60 mg/m2) on d 1 and 15 by 24-h infusion and cisplatin (10 mg/m2) on d 1, 2, 3, 15, 16, and 17. Treatment was repeated every 4 wk. RESULTS: Thirty-one patients were registered between April 2000 and January 2001. The response rate for all 31 patients, 20 patients without prior chemotherapy, and 11 patients with prior chemotherapy was 52% (16/31), 60% (12/20), and 36% (4/11), respectively. The median survival time was 378 d. The median number of courses given to all patients was 2. Grade 4 neutropenia oc-curred in 11 (35%) patients, while grade 3 to 4 diarrhea or nausea occurred in 1 (3%) and 3 (10%) patients, respectively. Fatigue was minimal as grade 1 fatigue was found only in 3 (10%) patients. Other adverse events were mild and no treatment-related deaths ***: This regimen showed a high level of ac-tivity and acceptable toxicity in patients with metastatic gastric cancer.
