n order to study further the relationship between gastric cancer
and vitamins,assays forestimation of cellular vitamins were designed,and 27 resected
stomach specimens(20 cancersand 7 non-cancer lesions)were subject to such determination.
The tissues from the cancer orbenign lesions,the para-cancer or para-lesion mucosae and
normal mucosae were taken out,the mucosal cells of the above three parts were isolated,and
the cellular concentration ofvitamin A、E、C、B12,folic acid and β-carotene were determined.
The results showed that thecellular levels of vitamin A、E、B12,and β-carotene in the cancer
and para-cancer mucosaewere significantly lower than those in the corresponding benign
lesion and para-lesionmucosae(P0.01),but no statistical difference between the cancerous and
the paracancermucosa cells.This paper confirmed an interrelationship existing in between
gastric cancergrowth and vitamins,and that,this kind of correlation might have been present
already inthe precancerous cells. It may be then possible to intervene the process of
gastriccancinogensis by correcting the abnormal vitamin metabolism in the precancerous
stage.
