| Collection Summary: | Midstream urine samples were collected from 43 GC, 40 BN, and 40 HE patients from January 2009 to December 2014 from three hospitals in Edmonton, Canada. GC samples were collected prior to chemoradiotherapy and surgery. All patients provided written informed consent. Ethics approval was obtained from the Health Research Ethics Board at the University of Alberta. Inclusion criteria for cancer patients were: biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of GC, age >=18 years, and no metastases on their staging computed tomography scans. BN patients had to experience gastrointestinal symptoms (such as haematemesis or epigastric discomfort) and must have endoscopic evidence within the past 6 months of consent that symptoms were not due to a malignant cause. BN patients had the following conditions: gastritis, gastro- oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), portal hypertensive gastro- pathy, varices, gastritis, ulcers, and polyps. HE controls had no declared history of cancer and no gastrointestinal symptoms. Groups were matched on age, gender, and BMI. Exclusion criteria included: breastfeeding, pregnancy, significant cardiac disease with New York Heart Association XClass II, systemic infection, prior cancer, and glomerular filtration rate 30 ml min ^-1. |
