Type 1 Gastric Carcinoid in the Indian Population and Its Association with Multifocal Gastric Atrophy
Anuradha Ananthamurthy 1,✉, Marjorie Correa 1, Mallikarjun Patil 2 ABSTRACT
Aim
Recent studies have shown an increase in the incidence of gastric neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) (carcinoids). This may be attributable to the frequent employment of endoscopy in clinical practice and the increasing use of proton pump inhibitors. From the literature that is available, it is interesting to note that the profile of patients with gastric carcinoids is different in the Asian population when compared to the western societies. As limited data is available from India, we evaluated retrospectively the clinical profile and pathology of gastric carcinoids presenting to our hospital.
