Prognostic Factors of Survival in Patients With Gastric Cancer Under 45 Years Old Treated With Surgery in a Single Center in Mexico City.

Introduction Gastric cancer is a significant major global health concern, particularly prevalent in Asia. In recent years, a large number of new cases have been diagnosed worldwide, leading to a substantial number of deaths. The disease tends to present more aggressively in these cases, leading to debates about the prognosis and survival outcomes.

Clinicopathological Characteristics and the First Mutational Analysis of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors From Mexico: A Single Institution Experience.

Background Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) arise from Cajal's interstitial cell precursors and display a variety of genetic mutations, primarily in the and genes. These mutations are linked to tumor location, prognosis, and response to treatment. This study delves into the mutational patterns of GISTs in a Mexican population and their impact on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).

Focal-to-bilateral tonic-clonic seizures and High-grade CMV-infection are poor survival predictors in Tumor-related Epilepsy Adult-type diffuse gliomas-A single-center study and literature review.

Introduction: Previous studies have reported a correlation between a high-grade CMV-infection and an unfavorable prognosis in glioblastoma (GB). Coversely, epilepsy has been associated with a more favorable outcome in GB patients. Despites epilepsy and CMV share similar molecular mechanisms in GB tumoral microenvironment, the correlation between Tumor-Related-Epilepsy (TRE) and CMVinfection remains unexplored.

[Extremity soft tissue sarcoma: does surgical margin impact survival?].

Objective: To define the impact of surgical margins on local recurrence (LR), distant recurrence (DR) and overall survival (OS) in patients with soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities (eSTS).

Method: Patients treated for a primary eSTS from 2006 to 2010 were analyzed. Rates of local recurrence, distant recurrence, and overall survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

High expression of both desmoplastic stroma and epithelial to mesenchymal transition markers associate with shorter survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Desmoplastic stroma (DS) and the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) play a key role in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) progression. To date, however, the combined expression of DS and EMT markers, and their association with variations in survival within each clinical stage and degree of tumor differentiation is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between expression of DS and EMT markers and survival variability in patients diagnosed with PDAC.

Giant liver teratoma with gliosis peritonei treated by right extended hepatectomy: Overview and case report.

Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are considered as extragonadal if there is no evidence of a primary tumor in the testes or ovaries. GCTs can be classified as seminomas, non-seminomatous, mature teratomas, and immature teratomas based upon histology. Mature teratomas are generally found in prepuberal children.

[Morbimortalidad de la pancreatoduodenectomía en pacientes con cáncer de páncreas y tumores periampulares en el Hospital de Oncología del Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI de 2008 a 2013].

Introduction: Pancreatic tumors and periampullary tumors have a similar clinical presentation; pancreatoduodenectomy represents the only possibility of cure or of increasing survival; with an average mortality of 5-10% and a morbidity of 20-40%.

Objective: To determine the morbidity and mortality secondary to the pancreatoduodenectomy intervention in patients with pancreatic cancer or periampullary tumors in the Oncology Hospital of Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI (Mexico City) from 2008 to 2013.

Method: Historical, observational and descriptive cohort carried out in the department of sarcomas and tumors of the upper digestive tube of the Oncology Hospital of Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI, postoperative pancreatoduodenectomy from 2008 to 2013.

Retrospective cohort of pancreatic and Vater ampullary adenocarcinoma from a reference center in Mexico.

Introduction: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and ampulla of Vater adenocarcinomas (AVAC) are periampullary tumors. These tumors have overlapping symptoms and a common treatment, but present differences in their survival and biology. No recent studies in Mexico have been published that describe the clinicopathological characteristics of these tumors.

Molecular Characterization of the Human Stomach Microbiota in Gastric Cancer Patients.

() is the primary cause of gastric cancer but we know little of its relative abundance and other microbes in the stomach, especially at the time of gastric cancer diagnosis. Here we characterized the taxonomic and derived functional profiles of gastric microbiota in two different sets of gastric cancer patients, and compared them with microbial profiles in other body sites. Paired non-malignant and tumor tissues were sampled from 160 gastric cancer patients with 80 from China and 80 from Mexico.

Circulating blood levels of IL-6, IFN-γ, and IL-10 as potential diagnostic biomarkers in gastric cancer: a controlled study.

Background: Gastric adenocarcinoma is the third most common cause of cancer-associated death worldwide. Helicobacter pylori infection activates a signaling cascade that induces production of cytokines and chemokines involved in the chronic inflammatory response that drives carcinogenesis. We evaluated circulating cytokines and chemokines as potential diagnostic biomarkers for gastric cancer.

[Immunohistochemical assessment of HER2 expression in gastric cancer. A clinicopathologic study of 93 cases].

Background: Gastric cancer in Mexico is ranked third in both males and females. Most patients present clinically with advanced disease and treatment options are sparse. HER2 overexpression in gastric cancer is related to poor outcome.

Polymorphisms in HLA-DQ genes, together with age, sex, and Helicobacter pylori infection, as potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis of gastric cancer.

Background: Polymorphisms in inflammation-related genes are factors associated with the development of gastroduodenal diseases in Helicobacter pylori-infected individuals.

Materials And Methods: We aimed to analyze polymorphisms in HLA-DQ, together with other host and H. pylori variables as risk factors for precancerous and cancerous gastric lesions.

[Prognostic factors for survival in patients with resectable advanced gastric adenocarcinoma].

Background: Patients under 45 years with gastric cancer are associated with a poor prognosis. Recent studies report that the 5-year survival is better in younger patients after curative resection.

Objective: To determine if prognostic factors such as age under 45 years old, anaemia, weight loss, tumour differentiation, histological sub-type, depth of invasion, and lymph node involvement, reduce the survival of patients with resectable advanced gastric adenocarcinoma undergoing gastrectomy with limited and extended lymphadenectomy.

Stomach microbiota composition varies between patients with non-atrophic gastritis and patients with intestinal type of gastric cancer.

We aimed to characterize microbiota of the gastric mucosa as it progress to intestinal type of cancer. Study included five patients each of non-atrophic gastritis (NAG), intestinal metaplasia (IM) and intestinal-type gastric cancer (GC). Gastric tissue was obtained and DNA extracted for microbiota analyses using the microarray G3 PhyloChip.

[Surgical prognostic factors of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP NET)].

Objective: to determine surgical prognostic variables from a retrospective cohort of histopathologically confirmed gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) in Mexican subjects.

Methods: consecutive patients treated for GEP-NET from 1999 through 2007 at Oncological Hospital were included. Demographic, clinical variables, disease-free survival were retrieved.

Resectability of primary gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor as a prognostic factor for survival.

Background: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) originate from gastrointestinal cells and pancreas; most are benign or well-differentiated. GEP-NET treatment objectives are tumor resection and reduction of tumor growth and dissemination, as well as symptom amelioration. We undertook this study to identify prognostic factors among patients with GEP-NETs.
