Background/aims: The mechanism of remnant gastric cancer development has not yet been well established. In this study, we compared the background gastric mucosa of remnant gastric cancer with that of upper lesion-restricted gastric cancer to determine the difference in the pathogenesis of naive gastric cancer and remnant gastric cancer.

Methodology: Twenty-five patients with gastric remnant cancer after distal gastrectomy and a control group of 29 patients with naive gastric cancer restricted to the upper part of the stomach who underwent gastrectomy were enrolled in this study. We evaluated the gastric mucosa adjacent to cancerous tissues using the updated Sydney score system.

Results: The surrounding gastric mucosa in the remnant gastric cancer group was significantly less atrophic than that of the group with gastric cancer restricted to the upper part of the stomach. In remnant gastric cancer, patients who underwent Billroth II (B-II) reconstruction at first gastrectomy developed cancer at the anastomotic site more frequently than those with Billroth I (B-I) reconstruction.

Conclusions: The surrounding gastric mucosa was significantly less atrophic in remnant gastric cancer than naïve gastric cancer, which indicates that remnant gastric cancer might possess a different pathogenesis.

Purpose: Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop2) is overexpressed in various solid tumors and contributes to tumor progression, while its expression remains low in normal tissues. Trop2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (Trodelvy), has shown efficacy in targeting this antigen. Leveraging the enhanced specificity of ADCs, we conducted the first immunoPET imaging study of Trop2 expression in gastric cancer (GC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) models using Zr-labeled Trodelvy ([Zr]Zr-DFO-Trodelvy).

Background: Gastric cancer poses a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Improved visualization of tumor margins and lymph node metastases with tumor-specific fluorescent markers could improve outcomes.

Methods: To establish orthotopic models of gastric cancer, one million cells of the human gastric cancer cell line, MKN45, were suspended in 50 μl of equal parts PBS and Matrigel and injected into the nude mouse stomach with a 29-gauge needle.

Aim: Human carbonic anhydrases (hCAs) are involved in many physiological processes including respiration, pH control, ion transport, bone resorption, and gastric fluid secretion. Recently, CA IX and CA XII have been studied for their role in cancer diseases, motivating the design of inhibitors of these isoforms.

Material And Method: Here, we used the tail approach to design a new series of monoaryl () and bicyclic () benzensulfonamide derivatives CA IX and CA XII inhibitors.
