The Effect of Environmental Pollution on the Prognosis of Gastric Cancer

Completed
Conditions
Gastric Cancers
Registration Number
NCT06686966
Lead Sponsor
First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University
Brief Summary

Gastric cancer is one of the common malignant tumours worldwide, with a high incidence especially in East Asia. Although the occurrence of gastric cancer is closely related to genetic factors, lifestyle and dietary habits, in recent years, environmental pollution, especially air pollution, has received more and more attention as a potential carcinogenic factor. Numerous studies have shown that harmful substances in the air such as including passive smoking, soot and oil smoke exposure, incense burning exposure, occupational exposure and outdoor work, PM2.5, PM10, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, etc. may not only induce the occurrence of gastric cancer, but also affect the prognosis of gastric cancer patients. This experiment intends to determine the extent of the influence of air pollution on the prognosis of gastric cancer by analysing the survival data of gastric cancer patients in areas with different pollution levels. In addition, the association between air pollution levels and postoperative recurrence in gastric cancer patients was investigated to find possible mechanisms.
