Iodine prophylaxis—the protective factor against stomach cancer in iodine deficient areas

Abstract: Observed association between improved iodine supply and decrease of incidence of stomach cancer could indicate the protective role against stomach cancer of iodine prophylaxis in iodine deficient areas--further studies are necessary.

“…The risk of stomach cancer is increased significantly by cigarette smoking (40% in smokers, and by 82% in heavy smokers) and alcohol intake (IARC, 2004). Some researchers have pointed out the correlation between lack or excess of iodine, goiter and stomach cancer, and reduced mortality from the stomach cancer following effective iodine prophylaxis (Gołkowski et al, 2007).…”

“…The thyroid gland and stomach, despite the different localization and function, share some similar morphologic and functional characteristics, likely due to their common embryologic origin (11). In fact, the thyroid gland develops from the primitive gut and therefore thyroid follicular share with parietal cells the same endodermal origin.…”

“…This notion is supported by the high percentage (12–40%) of positivity of PCA in adult patients with HT (9) which, in turn, is present in approximately 40% of patients with atrophic gastritis (10). Besides the fact that the thyroid and the stomach share some embryological and biochemical features (11), some intriguing similarities have been observed even in the putative pathogenic mechanisms, which characterize the thyrogastric syndrome (12). Furthermore, some specific clinical features characterize or lead to the suspicion of the coexistence of both thyroid and gastric autoimmune (13, 14) disorders.…”

“…Deficiency of iodine can lead to mental retardation, endemic goiter and could be a possible cause of stomach cancer [1,2]. In women, such deficiency can lead to overt hypothyroidism and consequent anovulation, infertility, gestational hypertension, spontaneous first-trimester abortion and stillbirth [3].…”
