In this study, our aim was to determine the possible effects of Helicobacter pylori(HP), chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), and gastrointestinal metaplasia (GIM) on survival in operated bowel type gastric cancer patients (INT-GC). Among 548 patients, 347(63.3%) were male.

Methods: A total 76 patients with locally-advanced ESCC who received dCRT between June 2015 and December 2019 were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into two groups as complete response (CR) or non-complete response (Non-CR) according to response to treatment.

Objective: To ascertain the factors that govern morbidity, mortality, and recurrence in incarcerated femoral hernia.
Study Design: Observational study.
Place And Duration Of Study: Department of General Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Van Yuzuncu Yil University, Van, Turkey, between January 2010 and January 2020.
Purpose: We aimed to examine the effect of esophagectomy after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) or non-surgical follow-up after CRT in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Methods: A total of 653 patients under follow-up for locally advanced ESCC between 2010-2019 were reviewed for enrollment. Patients with no distant metastasis at the time of diagnosis who underwent esophagectomy or were taken under observation following CRT were included in the study.
Purpose: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is an extremely fatal and relatively rare gastrointestinal system malignancy. This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting survival in operated patients with ESCC.
Materials And Methods: We included 110 patients (38 [34.
Background: Diagnostic performance of Diffusion-Weighted magnetic resonance Imaging (DWI) and Multi-Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) for TNM (Tumor, Lymph node, Metastasis) staging of gastric cancer was compared.
Patients And Methods: We used axial T2-weighted images and DWI (b-0,400 and b-800 s/mm2) protocol on 51 pre-operative patients who had been diagnosed with gastric cancer. We also conducted MDCT examinations on them.
