Schloffer tumor is a foreign body granuloma that develops in the subcutaneous layer of the abdomen over several months to several years after surgery due to sutures. Here, we performed a laparoscopic resection for a benign Schloffer tumor that showed positive F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) at the port site of a laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for advanced colon cancer. We report a case in which systemic chemotherapy was avoided as a result of the histological examination following the laparoscopic approach.

Expression of the netrin-1 receptors deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC) and uncoordinated 5 homolog (UNC5H) is frequently silenced in colorectal cancer (CRC) by either loss of heterozygosity or epigenetic mechanisms. However, netrin-1 expression and regulation in CRC are mostly unknown.

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the preoperative lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) can predict the outcomes of patients with pancreatic head cancer.
Patients And Methods: We studied 32 patients who underwent curative surgery for pancreatic head cancer in our hospital between 2006 and 2016.
Introduction: This report describes the techniques and outcomes of robot-assisted distal gastrectomy (RDG) for gastric carcinoma using an oval-shaped port device.
Materials And Methods: A total of 15 patients underwent RDG with lymphadenectomy using the E‧Z Access/LAP-PROTECTOR oval-type device (Hakko Co., Ltd.
