Role of gastric mucus components and gastric mucosa inflammatory infiltrate cell composition in the assessment of risk for gastric cancer development

Parameters of gastric mucus components and the pattern of gastric mucosa cell infiltrate were studied to assess the risk of gastric cancer development for patients with stage II-III epithelial dysplasia (85 patients) using discriminating analysis for creation of mathematical model. Sensitivity and specificity of the model were 89 % and 85 %, respectively. The mathematical model allows to estimate the risk of gastric cancer development for patients with stage II-III epithelial dysplasia and to form the patients' groups at high risk for cancer.
