This study aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of the Robocare nursing model in patients undergoing da Vinci robot-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. A total of 68 patients who underwent da Vinci robot-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer in our department from January 2022 to June 2022 were enrolled in this study and were assigned to a control group (n = 34) and an intervention group (n = 34). The control group received standard perioperative nursing care, while the intervention group received the Robocare model along with standard care.

Conditionally replicating adenoviruses (CRAds), which not only kill cancer cells, but also serve as vectors to express therapeutic genes, are a novel and effective method to treat cancer. However, most adenoviruses are Ad5, which infect cells through the coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR).
