Journal ArticleDOI
Intracellular, Intercellular, and Stromal Invasion of Gastric Mucosa, Preneoplastic Lesions, and Cancer by Helicobacter pylori
Vittorio Necchi,Maria Elena Candusso,Francesca Tava,Ombretta Luinetti,Ulderico Ventura,Roberto Fiocca,Vittorio Ricci,Enrico Solcia +7 more
TL;DR: H pylori penetrates normal, metaplastic, and neoplastic gastric epithelium in vivo, intracellularly, or interstitially to cause a strong immune-inflammatory response and promote gastric carcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Type or extension of intestinal metaplasia and immature/atypical “indefinite-for-dysplasia” lesions as predictors of gastric neoplasia
Francesca Tava,Ombretta Luinetti,Maria Rosa Ghigna,Costanza Alvisi,M. Perego,E. Trespi,Catherine Klersy,Cesare Fratti,Roberto Fiocca,Enrico Solcia +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of the immature hyperproliferative and atypical lesions of the gastric mucosa, which have been recently labeled "indefinite for dysplasia," were investigated.
Type or extension of intestinal metaplasia and immature/atypical bindefinite-for-dysplasiaQ lesions as predictors of gastric neoplasia B
Francesca Tava,Ombretta Luinetti,Maria Rosa Ghigna,Costanza Alvisi,M. Perego,E. Trespi,Catherine Klersy,Cesare Fratti,Roberto Fiocca,Enrico Solcia +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that patients with IM, when infected, should undergo H pylori eradication to reduce their cancer risk; only those bearing IDL or very extensive IM (which strongly correlates with IDL) should be followed up with endoscopies and biopsies.
Journal ArticleDOI
A combined histologic and molecular approach identifies three groups of gastric cancer with different prognosis.
Enrico Solcia,Catherine Klersy,Luca Mastracci,Paola Alberizzi,Maria Elena Candusso,Marta Diegoli,Francesca Tava,Roberta Riboni,Rachele Manca,Ombretta Luinetti +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a combined investigation of histologic, molecular, and clinicopathologic patterns in 294 extensively sampled, invasive gastric cancers representing all main histotypes and stages of the disease and followed for a median of 150 months.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lower- and higher-grade subtypes of diffuse gastric cancer
Anna Maria Chiaravalli,Catherine Klersy,Francesca Tava,Rachele Manca,Roberto Fiocca,Carlo Capella,Enrico Solcia +6 more
TL;DR: A low-grade desmoplastic and a high-grade anaplastic subtype should be separated histologically from the bulk of diffuse gastric cancers owing to their distinctive histologic, clinicopathologic, and prognostic aspects.
