We retrospectively examined patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent S-1/CDDP combined neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Nine patients who had the factor of curative surgery deemed not feasible for advanced gastric cancer were enrolled. 80 mg/m2 of S-1 was given orally from days 1-14, and 60 mg/m2 of CDDP was administered on day 8. Patients were treated with a three-cycle protocol. When an adverse event greater than Grade 3 showed, we judged that chemotherapy could not be continued and surgery was performed. An anti-tumor effect on the imaging was found in all cases of PR. The histological effect was judged to be Grade 3 and pathological CR in two cases. In the postoperative period, all patients received adjuvant chemotherapy. S-1/CDDP combined neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a potential regimen for advanced gastric cancer.

Rationale And Objectives: To develop and validate a radiomics signature, utilizing baseline and restaging CT, for preoperatively predicting progression-free survival (PFS) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC).
Methods: A total of 316 patients with LAGC who received NAC followed by gastrectomy were retrospectively included in this single-center study; these patients were split into two cohorts, one for training (n = 243) and the other for validation (n = 73), based on the different districts of our hospital. A total of 1316 radiomics features were extracted from the volume of interest of the gastric-cancer lesion on venous phase CT images.

Intracellular Ca homeostasis dysregulation, through the modulation of calcium permeable ion channels and transporters, is gaining attention in cancer research as an apoptosis evasion mechanism. Recently, we highlighted a prognostic role for several calcium permeable channels. Among them, here, we focused on the plasma membrane bidirectional Na/Ca exchanger SLC8A1.

Background: Recent studies have highlighted the distinct ratio of PD-1 + Treg/PD-1 + CD8 for prognosis prediction. However, it remains unclear about the association of this ratio and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) with prognosis and response to neoadjuvant or conversion therapy in advanced gastric cancer.
Methods: Firstly, fresh postoperative samples from 68 gastric cancer patients in Renji Hospital were collected.

Wogonin is a compound extracted from the medicinal plant Scutellaria baicalensis Geogi and has been found to exert antitumor activities in a variety of malignancies. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in the anti-gastric cancer (GC) effects of wogonin remain poorly understood. In the present study, we found that wogonin treatment inhibited the proliferation of GC cells, induced apoptosis and G0/G1 cell arrest, and suppressed the migration and invasion of SGC-7901 and BGC-823 cells in vitro.
