. Robotic systems can overcome some limitations of laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (L-TME), thus improving the quality of the surgery. So far, many studies have reported the technical feasibility and short-term oncological results of robotic total mesorectal excision (R-TME) in treating rectal cancer (RC); however, only a few evaluated the survival and long-term oncological outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) affects the growth of gastric cancer by altering the methylation of the VEGF-C gene promoter.
- - Researchers used MTT analyses and a nude mouse model to show that SAM significantly increases the methylation of the VEGF-C promoter, leading to decreased protein levels of VEGF-C, which is linked to cancer growth.
- - The findings suggest that SAM can reverse DNA hypomethylation of VEGF-C, effectively inhibiting gastric cancer growth both in lab experiments and in live subjects.
