Autoimmune metaplastic atrophic gastritis (AMAG) is a precancerous condition that predisposes to gastric neuroendocrine tumors (gNETs). There exist no methods to stratify patients with AMAG for gNET risk.
We identified a cohort of patients with AMAG within a university health system using histopathologic and serologic criteria. We analyzed features predictive of prevalent gNET.
We identified 181 patients with AMAG and 41 (22.7%) with prevalent gNET. Gastrin levels were elevated in gNET (1,859.8 vs 679.5 pg/mL, P < 0.001), and gastrin titers demonstrated good discrimination (c = 0.799, 95% CI 0.707-0.892) for gNET.
Gastrin levels differ significantly between patients with AMAG with and without gNET.
自身免疫性化生萎缩性胃炎(AMAG)是一种癌前病变,易引发胃神经内分泌肿瘤(gNETs)。目前尚无对AMAG患者进行gNET风险分层的方法。
我们在大学卫生系统内根据组织病理学和血清学标准确定了一组AMAG患者。我们分析了预测gNETs患病率的特征。
我们确定了181例AMAG患者,其中41例(22.7%)患有gNETs。gNET患者的胃泌素水平升高(1,859.8对679.5 pg/mL,P < 0.001),胃泌素滴度对gNET具有良好的鉴别能力(c = 0.799,95% CI 0.707 - 0.892)。
患有和未患有gNET的AMAG患者之间胃泌素水平存在显著差异。
