Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a worldwide disease with a significant morbidity and mortality; it is the leading cause of non-ulcer dyspepsia, peptic ulcers and gastric tumors, including low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue-lymphoma and adenocarcinoma. In addition, it has also been recognized that the interaction between H. pylori and non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs is damaging to the gastroduodenal mucosa. H. pylori treatment still remains a challenge for physicians, since no current first-line therapy is able to cure the infection in all treated patients. This issue will serve to update gastroenterologists on current therapies, evaluation and management of disease progression, and the future of management of H. pylori infection.

Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Although the incidence of gastric cancer has declined over the past century in the United States, it remains one of the most common gastrointestinal neoplasms, particularly in immigrants and the socio-economically deprived. Recent years have seen major advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of gastric cancer (especially regarding the importance of Helicobacter pylori and its associated inflammatory response) and the emergence of adjuvant oncologic therapies of proven benefit for advanced cases, in addition to surgery. As for gastric adenocarcinoma, elucidation of the underlying biology and molecular pathogenesis has led to much progress in the management of two other malignant gastric neoplasms, gastrointestinal stromal tumors and marginal zone B-cell (“MALT ) lymphomas. This monograph highlights these developments, presenting an updated overview of gastric cancer that will be of interest to all practicing gastroenterologists.

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers account for nearly 150,000 deaths each year, in the United States alone. Encouragingly, environmental risk factors, premalignant conditions, and high-risk familial kindreds are well described for many GI cancers. In this comprehensive volume on GI Neoplasia, all luminal cancers will be discussed, along with pancreas cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), carcinoid tumors, and neuroendocrine tumors. Hepatobiliary cancers are not addressed, as these tumors could form the basis of a separate volume. Articles are organized to address several key topics for each cancer type, such as: public health burden, molecular pathways, risk and protective factors, early detection, clinical evaluation, management, and survivorship.

The link between Helicobacter pylori infection and ulcer disease has been one of the most significant discoveries in the past decade. The role of this organism in the development of non-ulcer dyspepsia, gastric cancer, lymphoma and even heart disease is also attracting much interest. For those whose speciality lies outside of gastroenterology it is extremely difficult to keep abreast of this rapidly moving area. In the last year alone (1998), 1,300 works on Helicobacter pylori have been published. With this in mind, The Helicobacter pylori Handbook/b> provides a concise and up-to-date review of H.pylori infection, with updated sections on its diagnosis and treatment, and the position of H.pylori eradication in the management of gastrointestinal disorders.

One of the most common infections in the world, and while most of those colonised by H. pylori will remain symptom free, about 20% of them may develop serious gastroduodenal disease including peptic ulcers or gastric cancer. H. pylori is the only bacterium linked to the development of cancer and consequently it is an important focus of research. Moreover, H. pylori may be related to a wide range of extra-gastrointestinal disease such as coronary heart disease, stroke, migraine, rosaceae and gall bladder disease. And, although the incidence of H. pylori infection is falling in industrialized countries it remains an important pathogen globally and as the prevalence of antibiotic resistance increases, the eradication rate of the organism is falling with a consequent failure to cure the ulcer disease. Against this background, this new work sets out the pathology, clinical presentation and options for treatment of H. pylori infection. A reference not only for clinicians but also microbiologists, it provides in a single volume an uptodate summary of our current knowledge of this organism and the many ways in which it impacts upon public health in all parts of the world.

This issue details the latest knowledge of early diagnosis, risk factors, limited surgical treatments, and novel therapies for pancreatic diseases. Clinicians will learn the most prognostic scoring systems for acute pancreatitis, review the basics for early management of the disease, and see how current practice guidelines have evolved. Advances in radiological imaging when applied to the pancreas have resulted in enhanced staging and improved selection for surgical intervention. Endoscopy of the pancreas via both ERCP and endoscopic ultrasound has led to unprecedented access and potential for non-operative intervention. Pancreatic surgery now takes advantage of both minimally invasive approaches and techniques learned from organ transplantation. These latest advances are addressed in this issue by key opinion leaders.
