Background: Lymphatic route is the main pathway for gastric cancer (GC) spread, and lymph node (LN) involvement is a major prognostic factor after curative resection. The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of specific LN station dissection.
Methods: Patients with locally advanced (cT2-4N0-3M0) GC who underwent multimodal treatment between 2013 and 2023 were included in the study.
Article Synopsis
- * Most appendiceal tumors are found in older adults, particularly women, and a significant portion are benign or small neuroendocrine tumors that usually don't need aggressive treatment.
- * The review outlines the diagnostic and treatment challenges associated with appendiceal tumors, highlighting the need for improved understanding of their staging, molecular diagnostics, and prognostic factors for better clinical management.
Introduction: The role of surgery in stage IV gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis (PM) remains unclear. The objective of the current single-center study was to define the impact of gastrectomy with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) on outcomes among Central European GC patients with limited peritoneal disease progression after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
Methods: Patients with histologically confirmed GC who underwent curative-intent multimodal treatment between 2013 and 2023 were included.
