Abstract

We report two cases of early gastric cancer (EGC) with spreading to heterotopic gastric glands (HGG). The first case was a submucosal-tumor-like EGC and proximal gastrectomy was performed. The second case was a slightly elevated EGC and endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed. In both cases, pathological results showed adenocarcinoma spreading to the HGG in the submucosa. The depth of cancer was diagnosed as intramucosal carcinoma because cancer was limited to the epithelium of HGG without invasion to the submucosal stroma. There is no clear guideline concerning the management of early gastric cancers with spreading to heterotopic gastric glands.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
