Serum pepsinogen 1 and anti-Helicobacter pylori IgG antibodies as predictors of gastric cancer risk in Finnish males

© 2017 John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

BACKGROUND: Serum pepsinogen 1 (SPG1) and anti-Helicobacter pylori serology have been used for gastric risk stratification in Asia.

AIM: To assess utility of these markers in a Western population.

METHODS: SPG1 measurements were available for 21 895 Finnish male smokers in the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study. We used Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for potential confounders to estimate gastric cancer hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for low SPG1 (<25 μg/L). In a subset (n = 3555) with anti-H. pylori serology, these markers jointly defined the following: Group A (H. pylori[-], SPG1[normal]; reference group), Group B (H. pylori[+], SPG1[normal]), Group C (H. pylori[+], SPG1[low]) and Group D (H. pylori[-], SPG1[low]). Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CI were calculated using multivariate logistic regression.

RESULTS: There were 329 gastric cancers diagnosed an average of 13.9 years after baseline. Pre-diagnostic low SPG1 was significantly associated with increased gastric cancer risk (HR 2.68, 95% CI 1.99-3.61). Among subjects with both SPG1 and H. pylori serology, groups B, C and D had increased gastric cancer ORs (95% CI) of 1.79 (1.21-2.64), 3.85 (2.36-6.28) and 6.35 (2.20-18.34), respectively. CagA seropositives had significantly higher ORs than CagA seronegatives within group B (Pheterogeneity  = 0.01). For groups B and C, repeat SPG1 level at 3 years did not further stratify gastric cancer risk.

CONCLUSIONS: Low SPG1 was associated with increased gastric cancer risk in our large Finnish cohort. A single measurement of SPG1 along with H. pylori whole cell and CagA serology provides potentially useful prediction of gastric cancer risk.
