The authors analyzed in a retrospective study the stage of carcinomas of the stomach and colorectum in their material. In 1996-1998 they operated 35 patients with gastric tumours and 77 patients with colorectal cancer. In both groups they operated more than 50% of the patients in the IIIrd or more advanced stage of the disease. 22.8% gastric tumours and 19.5% colorectal tumours were operated in the acute stage. The situation in the group is alarming, it is essential to improve the early diagnosis and thus also treatment in all links of the chain: patient--attending physician--surgeon--society.

Gastric cancer (GC) remains a significant global health challenge. This study aimed to comprehensively analyze GC epidemiology and risk factors to inform prevention and intervention strategies. We analyzed the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 data, conducted 16 different machine learning (ML) models of NHANES data, performed Mendelian randomization (MR) studies on disease phenotypes, dietary preferences, microbiome, blood-based markers, and integrated differential gene expression and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data from multiple cohorts to identify factors associated with GC risk.

Chemotherapy resistance is a great challenge in the treatment of gastric cancer (GC), so it is urgent to explore the prognostic markers of chemoresistance. PUF60 (Poly (U)-binding splicing factor 60) is a nucleic acid-binding protein that has been shown to regulate transcription and link to tumorigenesis in various cancers. However, its biological role and function in chemotherapy resistance of GC is unclear.

The risk of gastric cancer among immigrants from countries where Helicobacter pylori is endemic greatly exceeds those born in the United States. Among patients in the Los Angeles safety-net health system, the risk of advanced and fatal gastric cancer is higher in Hispanic versus non-Hispanic patients. There is an urgent need to define whether this reflects concomitant illnesses, such as metabolic disease, occupational exposures, or differential access to H.

Background/aims: Gastric cancer (GC) is a significant global health issue with high incidence rates and poor prognoses, ranking among the top prevalent cancers worldwide. Due to undesirable side effects and drug resistance, there is a pressing need for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Understanding the interconnectedness of the JAK2/STAT3/mTOR/PI3K pathway in tumorigenesis and the role of Astaxanthin (ASX), a red ketocarotenoid member of xanthophylls and potent antioxidant and anti-tumor activity, can be effective for cancer treatments.
