A 75-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of gastric fatigue. Endoscope and CT scan revealed type 3 gastric cancer with paraaortic lymph nodal metastasis. Histological examination of the endoscopic biopsy revealed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. A blood examination and bone marrow biopsy revealed DIC causing bone marrow carcinosis. Chemotherapy with sequential therapy consisting of MTX and 5-FU was performed. Stretch of the fold and flatness of the ulcer were obtained against the gastric primary lesion observed endoscopically. Complete response was obtained against the lymph node around the abdominal aorta. Reduction of low back pain and DIC were observed. He was thus able to be discharged and sequential therapy was performed again over 2 months in outpatient care.

A major threat to world health is the high death rate from gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, especially in Asia, South America, and Europe. The new approaches are needed because of the complexity and heterogeneity of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, which has made the development of effective treatments difficult. To investigate the potential of peptide-based therapies that target the P21 Activated Kinase 1 (PAK1) in GI cancer, we are using the DBsORF database to predict peptides from the genomes of two bacterial strains: Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus.

Introduction: Several reviews have highlighted that the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) is the best diagnostic tool for assessing nutritional status in cancer patients. However, previous meta-analyses summarizing the prevalence of malnutrition and overall survival in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer are quite limited. This study aims to determine the overall prevalence and association between malnutrition, as defined by the PG-SGA, and mortality in adults with GI cancer.

Background: Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) has been shown to have associations with several diseases including cancers. Previous studies have investigated the effect of GGT levels on the gastrointestinal (GI) cancer incidence. We aim to systematically investigate these studies to provide better insights into the interrelationship between GGT and GI cancers.
