2001). Unfortunately, it is still most commonly diagnosed after invasion of the muscularis propria has occurred, and as a result the 5-year survival of these patients is less than 20%. The majority of cases are sporadic, only 1–3% being familial. Infection with Helicobacter pylori is the most important risk factor for development. In 1994 the World Health Organization (WHO) classified H. pylori as a class 1 carcinogen. The best-known classification of gastric cancer differentiates between poorly differentiated diffuse and well-differentiated intestinal types (Lauren 1965).

1997). Han et al. recently demonstrated reduction of Smad3 in gastric cancer cells. The reintroduction of Smad3 decreased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), consequently decreasing the cells’ ability to go through the angiogenic switch. They also demonstrated the ability of Smad3 to induce Ecadherin (Han et al. 2004). In addition, Smad7 is a negative regulator of Smad-dependent signaling, is present in one-third of gastric cancer cells, and infers a poor prognosis (Kim et al.

1993, 1994). p53 LOH is found in 14% of BE, 42% of low-grade dysplasias, 79% of high-grade dysplasias (HGDs) and 75–80% of adenocarcinomas (Morgan et al. 1998; Wu et al. 2001). p53 mutations are found in 40–88% of high-grade dysplasias/adenocarcinomas and in 29–66% of low-grade dysplasias/BE. p53 mutations can be detected before the development of HGD, and may have some value as a prognostic tool due to their high incidence in HGD and adenocarcinoma. Furthermore, patients with both p53 mutations and/or overexpression of p53 in the tumor after surgical resection had significantly poorer 5-year survival than those that had neither (Schneider et al.
