Background: Although the red cell distribution width (RDW) has been reported as a reliable predictor of prognosis in several types of cancer, to our knowledge the prognostic value of RDW in gastric carcinoma has not been studied, so far.
Objective: We aimed to investigate the role of red cell distribution width (RDW) in predicting prognosis in gastric cancer patients.
Methods: All gastric cancer patients who underwent curative surgery (n= 172, 110M/62F) over a five-year study period were evaluated.
Objective: The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has recently been used as a marker to predict outcome in various patient groups. In this study, we aimed to examine how RDW is influenced during the treatment and follow-up of cases of acute cholecystitis which is a common inflammatory disease.
Material And Methods: Seventy-two patients who were treated for acute cholecystitis, were included into the study.
Introduction: The dissection of splenic hilar lymph nodes in gastric cancer surgery is indispensable for treating gastric cancers located in the proximal third of the stomach. Splenic vascular injury is a matter of debate resulting on time or delayed splenectomy. We aimed to share our experience and plausible mechanisms causing this complication in two case reports.

The treatment modality in this patient population is still controversial. In this study, we aimed to compare the results of early and late cholecystectomy for patients with biliary pancreatitis.
