Brief Summary

Gastric Cancer (GC) ranks fourth in the number of deaths worldwide and it is sixth in Italy with almost 9,000 deaths in 2020. Survival of GC is one of the lowest reported amongst major cancers, thus making prevention a central priority for its control. However there is currently a lack of evidence on gastric cancer determinants. Our study will pursue the following specific objectives:

  • analyze dietary and lifestyle habits for GC, also infrequent ones (WP1);
  • analyze major risk factors in rare patient subgroups (WP2);
  • develop a Genome-wide Modelling of polygenic risk score (PRS) in GC (WP3)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Impact of dietary and lifestyle habits, including infrequent ones on the aetiology of gastric cancer

    Analysis of the association of dietary and lifestyle habits (e.g. caroteinoids, allium plant consumption, calcium, sodium intake, pipe and cigar smoking) from survey data with gastric cancer development

    The analysis will be completed in three years. Data about lifestyle and dietary habits were collected through a questionnaire at enrollment.

  • Impact of major gastric cancer risk factors on its aetiology in rarer patients subgroups

    Analysis of the association between major risk factors in subgroups of studies or in rare patient groups (e.g.: gastric cancer in young people, cancer occurring at gastric cancer) and gastric cancer

    The analysis will be completed in three years. Data about lifestyle and dietary habits were collected through a questionnaire at enrollment.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Development of a genome-wide modelling of Polygenic risk score (PRS) in gastric cancer

    Through study completition, three years. Blood samples were collected at the diagnosis (cases) or at the enrollment (controls)

Study Arms (2)

StoP Consortium + UK Biobank

In the PRS development 338,480 cases and controls from the UK Biobank + 3,650 cases and controls from the StoP consortium studies are going to be enrolled. Cases are defined as primary gastric carcinoma patients, with histological confirmation. Controls are selected from cancer-free patients matched with the cases.

StoP Consortium

In the analysis on the aetiology of Gastric Cancer 13,500 cases and 32,000 controls from the StoP consortium studies will be enrolled. Cases are defined as primary gastric carcinoma patients, with histological confirmation. Controls are selected from cancer-free patients matched with the cases.

Eligibility Criteria

Biospecimen

Retention: SAMPLES WITH DNA

The study as a whole recruits a grand total of 383,980 participants but only genetic data from 342,130 individuals will be used. This number can be further subdivided in: * 3,650 participants enrolled in the Stomach Cancer Pooling Project (http://stop-project.org/) These biological samples will be processed to extract DNA data. * 338,480 participants enrolled by the UK Biobank. These sample have already been processed. Informatized data from the biomarker samples will be used during the polygenic risk score development.
