Abstract

Background: Gastric cancer is the fifth most common malignancy and the third highest cancer-related mortality worldwide after lung and colorectal cancers. The gastric carcinogenesis is started with precancerous lesion. Prompt diagnosis and management of gastric precancerous lesion may prevent disease progression. Midkine is a growth factor associated with various cancers and proposed as a marker for detecting gastric precancerous lesion. Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the association between serum midkine level and gastric precancerous lesion in patients with gastritis. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted at Haji Adam Malik general hospital. Subjects were obtained by consecutive sampling. Inclusion criteria were patients aged 18 years or older, diagnosed with gastritis from gastroscopy and histopathology results, and willing to cooperate in the study. Each subjects underwent interview and endoscopic examination. Serum midkine level was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Chi square, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and logistic regression tests were applied. Results: A total of 160 subjects were enrolled with 29.4% had gastric precancerous lesion. Serum midkine level was associated with gastric premalignant lesion. Cut off point for serum midkine level was 252 pg/mL with area under the curve of 0.816 (p
