Background: The clinical benefit of conversion surgery following immunochemotherapy in patients with stage IV gastric cancer (GC) remains uncertain. This study aims to clarify the clinical outcomes of conversion surgery for such patients.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study enroled consecutive patients with stage IV GC treated with a combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy and/or anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 targeted therapy as first-line therapy.

Background: Lipid metabolism dysregulation is a prominent metabolic alteration in various cancers. The study aimed to explore the association of plasma lipid metabolism profiles with overall survival (OS) for gastric cancer (GC) patients who received gastrectomy.

Methods: GC patients who were treated with gastrectomy and measured with plasma lipid metabolism profiles using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR) spectroscopy in Nanfang Hospital between January 1, 2017, and October 31, 2018, were recruited.

Background: Microbiotas affected the prognosis of cancer patients by regulating programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression. However, the relationship between gastric fungi and PD-L1 expression is still unclear in gastric cancer (GC). We aimed at exploring the association of gastric fungi with PD-L1 expression and overall survival in GC.

Background: The specific efficacy of immunotherapy for patients with liver metastases of gastric cancer is unclear. This study set out to explore the treatment response and related prognostic factors for patients with liver metastases of gastric cancer treated with immunotherapy.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 135 patients with unresectable advanced gastric cancer.

Background: Although the anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitor plus chemotherapy combination has been approved as the standard first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer, a proportion of patients do not significantly benefit from this therapy. Who would respond poorly to this treatment and the underlying mechanisms of treatment failure are far from clear.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the associations between the peripheral basophils at baseline and clinical outcomes in 63 advanced gastric cancer patients treated with anti-PD-1 plus chemotherapy and 54 patients treated with chemotherapy alone.

Background: Little is known about the relation between perioperative inflammatory changes and long-term survival in cancer patients. The aim of the study was to assess the association of perioperative serum interleukin-6 (IL6) and tumor necrosis factor- (TNF) levels with the 5-year overall survival in locally advanced gastric cancer.

Methods: The 135 eligible patients in one center of Nanfang Hospital were retrieved from CLASS-01 trial (NCT01609309), an open-label, multicenter, randomized clinical noninferiority trial conducted at 14 centers in China.

Background: Microbes have been shown to contribute to gastric cancer (GC), gastric bacteria and viruses are associated with gastric carcinogenesis. However, the relationship between gastric fungi and GC is still unclear. Our aim was to evaluate the gastric fungal microbiota in the GC microenvironment.

Introduction: The prognostic implication of circulating tumor cell (CTC) -associated white blood cell clusters (CTC-WBC clusters) in patients with gastric cancer (GC) after radical gastrectomy is not well defined.

Methods: The prognostic value of the CTC-WBC clusters was evaluated retrospectively in an independent cohort of GC patients with radical gastrectomy from Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, China, between March 1, 2018, and September 31, 2019. The cohort was grouped into two groups: CTC-WBC group and CTC group.
