A higher incidence rate of gastric cancer and esophageal cancer in patients with liver cirrhosis has been reported. It is attributable to four possible causes which exist in cirrhotic patients, including a higher prevalence of gastric ulcers and congestive gastropathy, zinc deficiency, alcohol drinking and tobacco use and coexisting gut microbiota. Helicobacter pylori infection enhances the development of gastric cancer. In addition, Helicobacter pylori, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans also contribute to the development of pancreatic cancer in cirrhotic patients. Cirrhotic patients (especially those with alcoholic liver cirrhosis) who undergo liver transplantation have a higher overall risk of developing de novo malignancies. Most de novo malignancies are upper gastrointestinal malignancies. The prognosis is usually poor. Considering the surgical risk of upper gastrointestinal cancer among those with liver cirrhosis, a radical gastrectomy with D1 or D2 lymph node dissection can be undertaken in Child class A patients. D1 lymph node dissection can be performed in Child class B patients. Endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric cancer or esophageal cancer can be undertaken safely in selected cirrhotic patients. In Child class C patients, a radical gastrectomy is potentially fatal. Pancreatic radical surgery should be avoided in those with liver cirrhosis with Child class B or a MELD score over 15. The current review focuses on the recent reports on some factors in liver cirrhosis that contribute to the development of upper gastrointestinal cancer. Quitting alcohol drinking and tobacco use is important. How to decrease the risk of the development of gastrointestinal cancer in those with liver cirrhosis remains a challenging problem.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers14092269","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,2]],"date-time":"2022-05-02T07:08:58Z","timestamp":1651475338000},"page":"2269","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer and Liver Cirrhosis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Kuo-Shyang","family":"Jeng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General Surgery, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, New Taipei City 22060, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8741-5174","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chiung-Fang","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General Surgery, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, New Taipei City 22060, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Medical Research, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, New Taipei City 22060, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I-Shyan","family":"Sheen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hepato Gastroenterology, Chang-Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou Medical Center, Taoyuan City 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chi-Juei","family":"Jeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate Institute of Medicine, National Taiwan University, Taipei 10617, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chih-Hsuan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General Surgery, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, New Taipei City 22060, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Medical Research, Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, New Taipei City 22060, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Alhinai, E.A., Walton, G.E., and Commane, D.M.
