Background And Objectives: Gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) is commonly treated with open or minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The preferred surgical approach remains unclear. This study sought to assess utilization over time, compare complication rates by surgical approach, and identify predictors of experiencing complications.

- This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of three risk assessment tools (ACS-SRC, RAI-rev, and 5-mFI) in predicting postoperative outcomes for patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.
- It analyzed data from 9,663 patients, focusing on metrics like 30-day morbidity and mortality, unplanned readmissions, and reoperations.
- The results showed that the ACS-SRC tool outperformed the others, displaying the highest predictive accuracy for adverse postoperative events.
Purpose: The treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) continues to evolve. While neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has demonstrated emerging benefit, the optimal treatment regimen, and sequence remain to be firmly established.
Methods: Patients with nonmetastatic GA who underwent resection were identified within the 2020 National Cancer Database.
Introduction: Perioperative risk stratification is an essential component of preoperative planning for cancer surgery. While frailty has gained attention for its utility in risk stratification, no studies have directly compared it to existing risk calculators. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare the risk stratification of the American College of Surgeons Surgical Risk Calculator (ACS-SRC), the Revised Risk Analysis Index (RAI-rev), and the Modified Frailty Index (5-mFI).
