Gastric CarcinomaNCT07542652
Association Between Microplastic Exposure and the Pathological Progression of Gastric Carcinogenesis
An observational study of Gastric Carcinoma and Gastritis Chronic, run by Yongquan Shi at 1 site in China.
Trial summary
The objective of this clinical trial is to explore the correlation between the level of microplastic exposure and the risk of gastric mucosal carcinogenesis, and to evaluate the strength of its effect as an independent risk factor. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Association of Microplastic Exposure With Pathological Stages of Gastric Mucosal Carcinogenesis: A Cross-Sectional Study
The objective of this clinical trial is to explore the correlation between the level of microplastic exposure and the risk of gastric mucosal carcinogenesis, and to evaluate the strength of its effect as an independent risk factor. The main questions it aims to answer include: Does the level of microplastic exposure increase the risk of gastric mucosal carcinogenesis? Can the correlation between the level of microplastic exposure and gastric mucosal carcinogenesis, as well as the sources of high - risk microplastic exposure, be explored through a questionnaire on external microplastic exposure? Researchers will complete a design structured questionnaire and ask participants to fill it out carefully and truthfully to determine whether the level of microplastic exposure increases the risk of gastric mucosal carcinogenesis.
Read the detailed description
The study will categorize participants into three groups based on endoscopic and/or histopathological findings: chronic non-atrophic gastritis, precancerous lesions, and gastric cancer. Basic demographic information, *Helicobacter pylori* infection status, and plastic exposure assessment scores will be recorded for each group.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Chronic non-atrophic gastritis | Patients diagnosed with chronic non-atrophic gastritis based on endoscopic and/or histopathological results | |
| precancerous lesion | Patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric intestinal metaplasia, and gastric intraepithelial neoplasia based on endoscopic and/or histopathological results | |
| gastric cancer | patients with gastric cancer according to endoscopic and/or histopathological results |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Correlation between external exposure levels of microplastics and three pathological stages of gastric mucosal carcinogenesis
The investigators evaluated the correlation between external exposure to microplastics and the three pathological stages of gastric mucosal carcinogenesis based on the patients' final diagnosis results and the completed questionnaires they filled out.
Measured: 9 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
Analysis of sources of high - risk microplastic exposure
Analyze the sources of high-risk microplastic exposure by comparing the scores of each item in the questionnaires of the three groups of participants.
Measured: 9 months
Synergistic toxicity of microplastics and Helicobacter pylori
Analyze whether microplastics synergistically promote gastric mucosal injury and increase the risk of canceration with Helicobacter pylori through interaction.
Measured: 9 months
