Article Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is one of the most efficacious and widely used cytotoxic anticancer drugs used for the treatment of numerous types of cancer. However, its efficacy is limited as a result of acquired drug resistance. AKT overexpression may provide a potential mechanism leading to the resistance of human gastric cancer cells; however, the precise mechanism of the development of CDDP drug resistance remains uncertain. In the present study, we demonstrate that CDDP resistance is associated with AKT overexpression at the cellular and molecular level. We also observed that increased expression levels of AKT were sufficient to inhibit the resistance of gastric cancer cells to CDDP and that overexpressed AKT interacted with reactive oxygen species which were generated by CDDP. These results indicate that AKT activity is essential for the regulation of CDDP resistance in gastric cancer cells. Our results further demonstrate that AKT induces gastric cancer cells to become resistant to CDDP through the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway. Taken together, these data support a potential role for AKT overexpression and the JAK2/STAT3 pathway in the development of CDDP drug resistance in human gastric cancer cells. We hypothesize that AKT may represent a future pharmacological target for the inhibition of CDDP resistance in human cancer.

Background: Single-slice computed tomography (CT) body composition has been studied extensively for prognostication in patients with cancer. New software packages can also provide multi-slice volumetric measurements, but the clinical utility of these remains under explored. This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between single- and multi-slice body composition analyses in patients with oesophagogastric cancer and to explore the association between these measures and overall survival.

Gastric cancer is a significant health concern worldwide, and its diagnosis and management are of paramount importance. Ectopic pancreas (EP) refers to an embryological abnormality where healthy pancreatic tissue develops without anatomical, vascular, or neural communication with the normal pancreas. We report the case of a patient whose initial endoscopic evaluation suggested early gastric cancer, but computed tomography scan (CT scan) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) indicated a locally advanced tumor.

Aim: Patients with gastric malignant tumors usually undergo surgical treatment when indicated. Surgical intervention causes significant trauma and can lead to considerable stress responses in patients. These patients experience increased malnutrition along with reduced immune function, which ultimately leads to the occurrence of postoperative complications.

Gastric mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy characterized by both exocrine and neuroendocrine components. Treatment options for metastatic cases are limited, with typical therapeutic approaches involving a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. A 68-year-old male with metastatic gastric MANEC was treated with targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy, including S-1, apatinib, cadonilimab, and paclitaxel.
