The stomach consists of 5 layers: • Mucosa is the innermost layer of the stomach where acid and digestive enzymes are made. Most stomach SUBSEROSA cancers start here. • Submucosa is the next supporting STOMACH layer. SUBMUCOSA • Outside of the submucosa is the layer called the muscularis proria.

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.

Some early cancers may have signs and symptoms that can be noticed, but that is not always the case. ● Can Small Intestine Cancer (Adenocarcinoma) Be Found Early? ● Signs and Symptoms of Small Intestine Cancer (Adenocarcinoma) ● Tests for Small Intestine Cancer (Adenocarcinoma) Stages and Outlook (Prognosis) After a cancer diagnosis, staging provides important information about the extent of cancer in the body and anticipated response to treatment. ● Small Intestine Cancer (Adenocarcinoma) Stages ● Survival Rates for Small Intestine Cancer (Adenocarcinoma) Questions to Ask About Small Intestine Cancer Get some questions you can ask your cancer care team to help you better understand your cancer diagnosis and treatment options. ● Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Small Intestine Cancer 1 ____________________________________________________________________________________American Cancer Society cancer.org | 1.800.227.2345 Can Small Intestine Cancer (Adenocarcinoma) Be Found Early? (Note: This information is about small intestine cancers called adenocarcinomas. To learn about other types of cancer that can start in the small intestine, see Gastrointestinal Carcinoid Tumors1, Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors2, or Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma3.) Screening is testing for diseases like cancer in people who do not have any symptoms. Screening tests can find some types of cancer early, when treatment is most likely to be effective. But small intestine adenocarcinomas are rare, and no effective screening tests have been found for these cancers, so routine testing for people without any symptoms is not recommended. For people at high risk For people with certain inherited genetic syndromes4 who are at increased risk of small intestine cancer, doctors might recommend regular tests to look for cancer early, especially in the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).

Methods: This was a retrospective study of 122 patients with gastric cancer invading the muscularis propria and subserosa, undergoing surgical treatment from January 1997 to December 2008 and followed-up until December 2010. We analyzed demographic, surgical and pathological variables. Results: Of the 122 patients, 22 (18%) were excluded from the final analysis because they showed: positive margin or less than 15 lymph nodes in the surgical specimen, early postoperative mortality and second primary tumors. Among the 100 patients included, 75 had tumors inveding the muscularis propria (T2) and 25 with extension to the subserosa (T3). Overall survival was 83.8%, and 90.6% for T2 and 52.1% or T3. Univariate analysis showed statistical significance in: lymph node metastasis (p = 0.02), tumor size (p = 0.000), tumor pathological stage (p = 0.000), lymph node pathologic stage (p = 0.000) and staging by classification of groups TNM-UICC/AJCC, 2010 (p = 0.000).
