Concept ID:
C0278701
Neoplastic Process
Synonym: Adenocarcinoma of stomach
SNOMED CT: Adenocarcinoma of stomach (408647009); Cancer of stomach, adenocarcinoma (408647009)
 
HPO: HP:0033770
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0005036
Orphanet: ORPHA464463

Definition

An adenocarcinoma arising from the stomach glandular epithelium. Gastric carcinoma often produces no specific symptoms when it is superficial and potentially surgically curable, although up to 50% of patients may have nonspecific gastrointestinal complaints such as dyspepsia. [from HPO]

Conditions with this feature

Familial adenomatous polyposis 4
MedGen UID:
934686
Concept ID:
C4310719
Disease or Syndrome
Familial adenomatous polyposis-4 is an autosomal recessive tumor predisposition syndrome characterized by the development of multiple colonic adenomas in adulthood, often with progression to colorectal cancer. Proliferative lesions in other tissues may also occur (summary by Adam et al., 2016). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of familial adenomatous polyposis, see FAP1 (175100).
Gastric adenocarcinoma and proximal polyposis of the stomach
MedGen UID:
1657285
Concept ID:
C4749917
Neoplastic Process
APC-associated polyposis conditions include (classic or attenuated) familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and gastric adenocarcinoma and proximal polyposis of the stomach (GAPPS). FAP is a colorectal cancer (CRC) predisposition syndrome that can manifest in either classic or attenuated form. Classic FAP is characterized by hundreds to thousands of adenomatous colonic polyps, beginning on average at age 16 years (range 7-36 years). For those with the classic form of FAP, 95% of individuals have polyps by age 35 years; CRC is inevitable without colectomy. The mean age of CRC diagnosis in untreated individuals is 39 years (range 34-43 years). The attenuated form is characterized by multiple colonic polyps (average of 30), more proximally located polyps, and a diagnosis of CRC at a later age than in classic FAP. For those with an attenuated form, there is a 70% lifetime risk of CRC and the mean age of diagnosis is 50-55 years. Extracolonic manifestations are variably present and include polyps of the stomach and duodenum, osteomas, dental abnormalities, congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE), benign cutaneous lesions, desmoid tumors, adrenal masses, and other associated cancers. GAPPS is characterized by proximal gastric polyposis, increased risk of gastric adenocarcinoma, and no duodenal or colonic involvement in most individuals reported.
