A 60 year-old male patient presented with a giant stromal tumor of the stomach that showed predominant extragastric growth. Surgery consisted of total tumor resection with partial gastrectomy. The stromal origin of the tumor was established by immunohistochemistry. In spite of its large size and the presence of necrotic foci, the tumor was considered to be of low grade in view of the low mitosis index. The patient was maintained on careful surveillance. The histological features which characterize these tumors and their implications for prognosis and therapy are briefly discussed.

Purpose: Basophils play a crucial role in immunoglobulin E-mediated allergic reactions and parasitic infections. Recently, a low basophil count was reported to be a poor prognostic indicator in patients with malignant tumors. This study aimed to investigate the cut-off value to evaluate the clinicopathological and prognostic significance of the basophil count in patients with gastric cancer.

Background: Corilagin is widely distributed in various medicinal plants. In recent years, numerous pharmacological activities of Corilagin have been reported, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, hepatoprotective, anti-tumor, and anti-fibrosis effects. However, there is still a need for systematic metabolomics analysis to further elucidate its mechanisms of action.

Most gastric neoplastic lesions appear in patients with gastric premalignant conditions. Here, we present the case of a 75-year-old woman with no prior history of infection, with a big gastric adenoma resected by endoscopic submucosal dissection. Histopathological examination revealed high-grade foveolar dysplasia.

Objectives: KH-type splicing regulatory protein (KHSRP) is an RNA-binding protein involved in several cellular processes, including nuclear splicing, mRNA localization, and cytoplasmic degradation. While KHSRP's role has been studied in other cancers, its specific involvement in gastric cancer remains poorly understood. This study aims to explore KHSRP expression in gastric cancer and its potential effects on tumor progression and immune response.

Background: Gastric Cancer (GC) is the 5th most prevalent and 4th most deadly neoplasm globally. Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising treatment approach in GC, potentially improving positive clinical outcomes while addressing the limitations of conventional therapies. GC immunotherapy modalities consist of adoptive cell therapy (ACT), cancer vaccines, and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI).
