Background And Aim: Along with the widespread use of eradication for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), the incidence of gastric cancer after eradication has also been increasing. There is a need for clarification of the clinical and biological characteristics of these neoplasms.
Patients And Methods: We studied 27 cases of gastric cancer that developed after eradication (group AE). Out of the 27, we selected 26 with early-stage gastric cancer and compared them with 78 age-matched gastric cancer patients with H. pylori infection (group Pos) and 20 patients without H. pylori (group Neg). The patient with autoimmune gastritis was not included. Clinicopathological features, mucus patterns and Wnt5a expressions were compared among these groups.
Results: Among group AE patients, there were more males than females, and the tumor histology was mainly intestinal type, a significant difference from group Neg. In contrast, macroscopically, the tumors were predominantly of the flat-depressed type, a feature similar to that of group Neg but significantly different from that of group Pos. MUC2 and Wnt5a expression was significantly lower in group AE than in group Pos.
Conclusion: Gastric cancer development after eradication may have a carcinogenic pathway similar to that in cancer with H. pylori infection, though macroscopic/biological features may be modified by eradication therapy.

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.

Background: Duodenal stump leakage is one of the most critical complications following gastrectomy surgery, with a high mortality rate. The present study aimed to establish a predictive model based on machine learning for forecasting the occurrence of duodenal stump leakage in patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Materials And Methods: The present study included the data of 4,070 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who received laparoscopic gastrectomy.

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.

Purpose: Gastric cancer (GC) remains a major malignancy. Robotic gastrectomy (RG) has gained popularity due to various advantages. Despite those advantages, many hospitals lack the necessary equipment for RG and are still performing laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) due to its established minimal invasiveness and safety.
