Primary gastric adenosquamous carcinoma (PGASC) is a rare type of gastric cancer with limited research and poorly understood clinicopathological features. This study investigated the clinicopathological features and outcomes of PGASC. Patients with PGASC from Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology and from the published literature were enrolled in this study.

Data of 637 patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery between June 2019 and June 2022 were collected. Differences in procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and white blood cell (WBC) levels before surgery and on postoperative day (POD) 3 and 5 were compared between patients with and without AL (AL and non-AL groups, respectively).

- This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) combined with the immunotherapy drug tislelizumab against NACT alone in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC).
- A total of 169 patients were analyzed, showing that those receiving NACT plus tislelizumab had significantly better outcomes, including a higher R0 resection rate and pathologic complete response rate, compared to the NACT group.
- Despite these improvements, both groups had comparable postoperative complication rates, indicating that adding tislelizumab does not increase the risks associated with surgery.
