Article Synopsis
- * The study identified a protein called SHARPIN, located on an amplified chromosome in CRC, which is overexpressed in tumor cells and linked to poor patient prognosis due to its influence on lymphatic invasion.
- * SHARPIN affects the progression of CRC by regulating the proteins MDM2 and p53, leading to changes in cell cycle and apoptosis, thus presenting SHARPIN as a potential new target for therapeutic interventions in colorectal cancer.
Dysphagia after esophagectomy is a serious complication; however, no method has been established to accurately assess swallowing function. We evaluated the association of swallowing function tests with patients' post-esophagectomy complications and nutritional statuses. We retrospectively reviewed the data of 95 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent esophagectomy between 2016 and 2021.

Patients And Methods: The medical records of 801 patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy at the Nara Medical University hospital, were reviewed. Anemia was defined as a hemoglobin (Hb) level of <10 g/dl.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed CT scans from 84 patients who had surgery after NAC and found that measuring the reduction in tumor size (specifically using short diameter, SD) could predict patient responses and overall survival rates.
- * An SD reduction of 22% or more was identified as a significant predictor for both overall survival and relapse-free survival, suggesting it could serve as an easy-to-use metric for evaluating treatment success.
