We report a curative resection of a case with advanced gastric cancer responding remarkably well to combination chemotherapy of docetaxel, cisplatin and S-1. The patient was a 71-year-old man with gastric cancer of Borrmann type 3 accompanied with N3. Staging laparoscopy revealed peritoneal dissemination. He was administered docetaxel intravenously at 40mg/ m2 on day 1, cisplatin intravenously at 60 mg/m2 on day 1, and S-1 orally at 80 mg/m2 on days 1 to 14. This treatment was repeated every 28 days as one course. According to gastroscope and CT findings, a significant tumor reduction was obtained after 4 courses. After 6 courses, a CT scan revealed partial response of the lymph node metastasis, and the serum CEA value was normalized. Curative total gastrectomy was performed. The histological effect of the primary lesion was judged to be grade 2. Combination chemotherapy of S-1, cisplatin and docetaxel can be effective and feasible for advanced gastric cancer.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally down-regulated 4 (NEDD4) is involved in various cancer signaling pathways, including PTEN/AKT. However, its role in promoting gastric cancer (GC) progression is unclear. This study was conducted to elucidate the role of NEDD4 in GC progression.

Expression Patterns of DLL3 Across Neuroendocrine and Non-Neuroendocrine Neoplasms Reveal Broad Opportunities for Therapeutic Targeting.

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) encompass a diverse set of malignancies with limited precision therapy options. Recently, therapies targeting DLL3 have shown clinical efficacy in aggressive NENs, including small cell lung cancers and neuroendocrine prostate cancers. Given the continued development and expansion of DLL3-targeted therapies, we sought to characterize the expression of DLL3 and identify its clinical and molecular correlates across diverse neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine cancers.

Objective: This study aimed to clarify whether nutritional status at admission affects enteral nutrition weaning 6 months after surgery in patients with esophageal cancer.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of 81 patients who underwent subtotal esophageal cancer resection between April 2014 and February 2016. The survey items were as follows: 1) sex, 2) age, 3) presence or absence of family members living together, 4) clinical stage, 5) surgical procedure, 6) reconstructed organs, 7) nutritional status at admission, 8) presence or absence of postoperative complications (anastomotic leakage, chylothorax, and recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis), and 9) presence or absence of treatment other than surgery (chemo- or radiotherapy).
