The role of marital status in gallbladder cancer: a real-world competing risk analysis.

Background: The association between marital status and gallbladder cancer (GBC) remains uncertain. This study aimed to verify the relationship between marital status and GBC and construct a prognostic nomogram to predict the impact of marital status on GBC patients.

Method: GBC patients were divided into married and unmarried groups using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

De-escalating chemotherapy for stage I-II gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma? A real-world competing risk analysis.

Background: The role of adjuvant chemotherapy in gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (GNEC) has not been well clarified yet. The study was designed to investigate the potential effect of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage I-II GNEC patients and construct a predictive nomogram.

Method: Stage I-II GNEC patients were included in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and divided into chemotherapy and no-chemotherapy groups.

Identification of cuproptosis-related lncRNAs to predict prognosis and immune infiltration characteristics in alimentary tract malignancies.

Background: Alimentary tract malignancies (ATM) caused nearly one-third of all tumor-related death. Cuproptosis is a newly identified cell death pattern. The role of cuproptosis-associated lncRNAs in ATM is unknown.

A novel nomogram for identifying candidates for adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stage IB gastric adenocarcinoma.

Background: The purpose of this research was to construct a novel predictive nomogram to identify specific stage IB gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) populations who could benefit from postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT).

Method: Between 2004 and 2015, 1889 stage IB GAC patients were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program database. Then Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, univariate and multivariable Cox analyses, and univariate and multivariable logistic analyses were implemented.

Application of Intraoperative Fluorescence Imaging with Indocyanine Green in the Difficult Gallbladder: A Comparative Study between Indocyanine Green-Guided Fluorescence Cholangiography and Conventional Surgery.

In the difficult gallbladder, the rate of bile duct injury (BDI) remains high. To lessen iatrogenic biliary injury, we attempted to utilize indocyanine green (ICG)-guided fluorescence cholangiography during surgery to illuminate the extrahepatic biliary tract. According to admission criteria, 38 patients were diagnosed with difficult gallbladder and underwent percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD).

HSPA5 is a prognostic biomarker correlated with immune infiltrates in thyroid carcinoma.

Introduction: Thyroid carcinoma (THCA) is the most common endocrine malignancy. Recent research has shown heat shock protein family A (HSPA5) as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for various malignancies. Nevertheless, the role of HSPA5 in THCA is unclear.

The role of chemotherapy in patients with stage IB gastric adenocarcinoma: a real-world competing risk analysis.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the potential effect of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients diagnosed with stage IB gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC).

Method: A total of 1727 patients were included in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2004 to 2015 and divided into the chemotherapy and no-chemotherapy groups. Then, the methods of Kaplan-Meier analysis, propensity score matching (PSM), and competing risk analysis were implemented.
