Targeted therapies and immunotherapies have shown great promise as best-in-class treatments for several cancers with respect to efficacy and safety. While liver test abnormalities are rather common in patients treated with kinase inhibitors or immunotherapy, events of severe hepatotoxicity in these patients are rare in comparison with those associated with chemotherapeutics. The underlying mechanisms and risk factors for severe hepatotoxicity with novel oncology therapies are not well understood, complicating the drug-induced liver injury (DILI) risk assessment in the preclinical and clinical phases of drug development.

Background: Laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with Billroth I (B-I) reconstruction is frequently performed for gastric cancer. However, the difference between the circular stapler technique (CS) and delta-shaped anastomosis (DA) remains unclear, especially regarding the postoperative endoscopic physiological findings.
Methods: Three hundred and one patients including 150 CS patients and 151 DA patients during LADG with B-I reconstruction between 2013 and 2019 at Saitama Medical University International Medical Center were chosen as study subjects.
