Results of treatment of gastric cancer with using preoperative superselective intraarterial polychemotherapy are described. The method was used in 57 patients with gastric cancer of the III-IV degrees and was followed by radical surgical treatment. The use of chemotherapy and operation resulted in complete destruction of the tumor in 63.8% of cases, partial regression in 19.2%. An inconsiderable effect was obtained in 17.0%. One-year survival was noted in 100% of the patients.

Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the stomach (HAS) is a rare subtype of gastric cancer characterized by histological features resembling hepatocellular carcinoma. Surgical intervention remains the preferred treatment modality for eligible patients. However, the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy and alternative treatment regimens has been found to be suboptimal.

We reported the pseudoprogression in an elderly patient with advanced gastric cancer after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy. The hepatic metastases enlarged 1 month after CAR-T cell infusion and then shrunk the next month as seen through computed tomography scanning. Based on a comprehensive evaluation that includes imaging, pathology, serum tumor markers, and clinical symptoms, we arrived at a diagnosis of pseudoprogression after CAR-T cell therapy, which has not been reported in previous studies.

Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, accounting for nearly 800,000 fatalities annually. ITGAX (Integrin alpha X) is closely associated with immune cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells. Its involvement in gastric cancer was identified through an analysis of The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, which highlighted as one of four key gastric cancer-related genes.

Different types of cancers affect the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), starting from the oral cavity and extending to the colon. In general, most of the current research focuses on the systemic delivery of the therapeutic agents, which leads to undesired side effects and a limited enhancement in the therapeutic outcomes. As a result, localized delivery within gastrointestinal (GI) cancers is favorable in overcoming these limitations.

Department of General Surgery, Loyola University Medical Center, 2160 S 1st Ave, Maywood, IL 60513, United States.

Background: Malnutrition is a significant risk factor for decreased survival in cancer patients undergoing a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Our study aims to investigate the impact of immunonutrition on length of stay (LOS), infection rates, postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), and delayed gastric emptying (DGE).

Study Design: This study retrospectively reviewed 344 patients who underwent PD between 2007 and 2018.
