A 79-year-old man was admitted to our hospital to determine the cause of his melena. He underwent esophagogastric endoscopy and computed tomography, revealing a submucosal tumor on the anterior wall of the gastric antrum with multiple liver metastases. Endoscopic biopsy revealed a large cell neuroendocrine cell carcinoma. A subtotal gastrostomy was performed to prevent pyloric stenosis and anemia caused by tumor hemorrhage. Previous studies on gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma reported poor prognosis. Large- and small-cell types of gastric neuroendocrine carcinomas were differentiated for the first time in the 14th edition of the Japanese Classification of Gastric Carcinoma. It is expected that the number of reports of gastric neuroendocrine carcinomas classified as either the large-cell or small-cell type will increase. It is necessary to collect information on more cases to improve prognosis and to establish appropriate treatment guidelines.

Small cell lung carcinoma metastatic to the stomach, whether synchronous or metachronous, is a rare phenomenon accounting for < 0.5% of lung cancers. Hence it can be overlooked by clinicians resulting in delayed diagnosis.

In this Editorial, we review the recent publication in the , which explores the complex relationship between depression and gastric cancer and offers perspectives. Key topics discussed include the microbiota-gut-brain axis, dysbiosis, and the influence of microbial metabolites in homeostasis. Additionally, we address toxic stress caused by hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysregulation, psychological assessments, and future research directions.

Background: Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) of the cervix is a rare malignant tumor with high malignancy and poor prognosis, of which large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and HPV-independent adenocarcinoma are particularly rare, which have been reported limitedly in the literature. Here, we present 2 cases of MANEC of the cervix and discuss important considerations for diagnosing cervical poorly differentiated carcinoma.
Case Presentation: we reported two cases of mixed large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the cervix, one HPV-independent and one HPV-associated, both with vaginal bleeding.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, GA, US.
Objectives: Atrophic gastritis (AG) is characterized by atrophy of gastric glands-in particular, oxyntic glands-in the setting of chronic inflammation; it is often autoimmune. The diagnosis is confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for gastrin (to confirm biopsy site), and pathologists often use IHC for neuroendocrine markers to evaluate for enterochromaffin-like cell hyperplasia (ECL-H). The utility of neuroendocrine staining is unclear, and we undertook this study to determine whether ECL pattern provided any additional information in cases of Helicobacter-negative AG.

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.
