Purpose: We provide for the first time a comprehensive situational diagnosis and propose an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted nationwide plan of implementation, attending the most urgent needs.
Methods: Baseline information was collected from open-source databases of the Peruvian Government. Data on cancer incidence from the Health Authorities and GLOBOCAN were collected and compared.
A novel synthetic fully long-term resorbable self-gripping mesh has been recently developed to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists during ventral hernia repair open procedures. This resorbable mesh is a macroporous, knitted, poly-L-lactide, poly-trimethylene carbonate copolymer monofilament mesh with the ProGrip™ technology, providing grips on one side of the mesh. A new poly-L-lactide, poly-trimethylene copolymer was developed to provide the required features for mechanical support during at least 20 weeks covering the critical healing period, including resistance to fatigue under cyclic loading conditions, as it occurs in patients.

Methods: Five hundred-one patients with pathological diagnoses of EGC were included. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify the predictive factors of LNM.
Article Synopsis
- Cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) is a marker found in the fluids of patients with cryptococcal infections, and various testing methods like CALAS and LFA are used to detect it, including commercial kits like CryptoPS and CrAg LFA.
- In a 3-year study involving 43 serum samples, the CryptoPS test showed a high rate of false positives, indicating that patients without cryptococcal infections often tested positive, suggesting the presence of interfering substances in the serum.
- A simple pretreatment method (incubation and centrifugation) was effective in reducing false positives, though it slightly affected the sensitivity of the test for some patients with actual cryptococcal disease.
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common cause of cancer deaths around the world and the first cause of cancer deaths in Peru; however, there are no prospective trials for adjuvant chemotherapy in GC after curative gastrectomy in this country. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage II-III gastric cancer patients who underwent D2 gastrectomy.
Methods: We included patients with stage II-III gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy and D2 dissection between 2014 and 2016 at our institution.
