    Title translation Niveles séricos de IGF-1 e IGFBP-3 en pacientes con esófago de Barrett y adenocarcinoma de esófago. Estudio longitudinal.
    Abstract Background: Barrett's esophagus (BE) is an entity with a known histological progression to malignancy. The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system is involved in the carcinogenesis through obesity-related mechanisms that include IGF and it has been associated with several types of cancer.
    Objectives: To evaluate the serological levels of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 in patients with BE and esophageal adenocarcinoma.
    Patients and methods: Prospective study of patients with BE and esophageal adenocarcinoma who underwent upper endoscopy between September 2012 and December 2015. A baseline determination of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 was performed. We included a control group of patients without BE.
    Results: One hundred sixteen patients were included: 36 controls, 62 with BE (42 without dysplasia and 20 with dysplasia) and 18 with adenocarcinoma. IGF-1 and IGF-1/IGFBP-3 molar ratio showed a progression to high levels in BE and adenocarcinoma than in controls (IGF-1: 135.55±66.07ng/ml, 148.33±81.5ng/ml, 108.19±46.69ng/ml, respectively; P=.049) (molar ratio: 0.23±0.91, 0.29±0.11, 0.19±0.06, respectively; P=.001), without differences between the histological types of BE. Fifty-four out of the 65 patients with BE were followed up (median of 58.50 months, range 12-113) and 11 of them (20.4%) presented progression to low-grade dysplasia (n=8) or high-grade dysplasia/adenocarcinoma (n=3), without differences in the IGF system compared with patients without progression.
    Conclusions: Patients with BE and esophageal adenocarcinoma have changes in the IGF system although the serological levels of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 do not correlate with histological progression of BE.

    Abstract Background: Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare disease which can be associated with Lynch syndrome (LS). LS tumors are characterized by the presence of microsatellite instability (MSI) and/or the loss of mismatch repair (MMR) protein expression. In SBA, the frequency of MMR deficient (MMRd) tumors varies from 5% to 35%. This study aims to describe the prevalence of LS carriers among patients with MMRd small bowel adenocarcinomas.
    Methods: A multicenter retrospective study with identification and MMR testing of all consecutive SBA between 2004 and 2020 in a multicenter Spanish study. Demographical data, tumor characteristics, follow-up and survival information were collected. Germline testing was driven by identification of MMRd tumors.
    Results: A total of 94 individuals diagnosed with SBA were recruited. We observed 20 (21.3%) MMRd tumors. In 9/15 (60%) patients with MMRd tumors, a pathogenic variant was identified (three MLH1, four MSH2, one MSH6 and one PMS2). Accordingly, the prevalence of LS among all SBA cases was 10.1%.
    Conclusions: More than one-fifth of SBA display MMRd and in more than a half is due to LS. Our data supports the implementation of universal MMR tumor testing among SBA for the identification of LS families.

    Abstract Background and aims: Recurrent bleeding from gastrointestinal (GI) angiodysplasia remains a therapeutic challenge. Identification of factors predicting poor outcome of haemorrhage from angiodysplasia would help us to select the patients who may likely benefit from further therapy. Thus, we analysed risk factors for recurrence of acute GI haemorrhage from angiodysplasia.
    Patients and methods: 62 patients admitted consecutively with acute GI bleeding from angiodysplasia, between June 2002 and June 2006, were included. Bivariate, multivariate and survival analysis were performed to identify risk factors for recurrence of bleeding after hospital discharge.
    Results: Recurrence of acute haemorrhage after hospital discharge occurred in 17 of 57 (30%) patients (38 men; mean age: 74+/-6 years), after a mean follow-up (33+/-40 months). On Cox analysis, earlier history of bleeding with a high bleeding rate, over anticoagulation and the presence of multiple lesions were predictive factors of recurrence in a multivariate analysis. In contrast, endoscopic argon plasma coagulation (APC) therapy was not associated with lower rates of recurrent bleeding.
    Conclusion: In patients with acute GI haemorrhage from angiodysplasia, earlier bleeding with a high bleeding rate, over anticoagulation and multiple angiodisplasic lesions predict an increased risk of recurrent bleeding. Although there is a trend towards better management with endoscopic APC therapy for the prevention of recurrence of bleeding, endoscopic APC therapy is not predictive of a lower rate of recurrence.
