Clinicopathological features and survival outcomes for gastric adenocarcinoma: Real-world single-center data.

Introduction: Gastric cancer is the fifth most-common cancer and fourth common cause for cancer-related deaths globally. Surgery preceded or followed by chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy is considered an optimal treatment for locally advanced gastric cancer. This study is a real-world data from a tertiary referral institute in southern India, in its experience with treating gastric adenocarcinoma over a period of four years with a minimum of two-year follow-up.

Comparison of Efficacy of Aspirin Plus EOX vs. EOX Alone in Patients with Locally Advanced and Metastatic Gastric Cancer: a Randomized Clinical Trial.

Purpose: The role of aspirin in cancer prevention has been well defined; the last decade revealed its therapeutic role with improved efficacy when aspirin was added to capecitabine in heavily pre-treated metastatic colorectal cancer. Aspirin affects tumour growth through the PI3K pathway, which regulates apoptosis and autophagy. The objective was to compare the efficacy of aspirin plus epirubicin, oxaliplatin, capecitabine (EOX) chemotherapy versus EOX alone in locally advanced and metastatic gastric cancer.
