The management of gastrointestinal anastomotic leaks post surgery is a considerable challenge, characterized by elevated morbidity and mortality, particularly in cases of esophageal-jejunal anastomotic leaks. Diverse endoscopic intervention techniques have been utilized with enhanced success. We present a case where a 57-year-old patient with Siewert type II esophageal cardia cancer underwent endoscopic deployment of a fully covered stent into a fistula resulting from anastomotic leakage, following a laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y and double tract reconstruction.

Cervical anastomotic leakage (AL) is a severe complication following esophageal cancer surgery, leading to significant morbidity and risk of mortality. This case report describes the successful application of negative pressure wound therapy with instillation (NPWTi) in managing AL after esophageal surgery. A 61-year-old patient developed an anastomotic leak on postoperative day 7, accompanied by persistent neck pain and leakage of nutritional fluids.

Background: Corrosive substance ingestion is rare but can cause severe injury, especially to the upper gastrointestinal tract, and can be a potentially fatal event. Various surgical procedures have been advocated for gastroesophageal reconstruction, but especially those using the right colon, when the ileocecal valve is preserved for gastric reconstruction, are briefly exposed in literature and have not been studied in humans by controlled studies. Using the right colon is believed to be beneficial because of the anti-reflux mechanism of the ileocecal valve.

Background: Tumor mutation burden (TMB) has been considered a biomarker for utilization of immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs), but whole exome sequencing(WES) and cancer gene panel(CGP) based on next generation sequencing for TMB detection are costly. Here, we use transcriptome data of TCGA to construct a model for TMB prediction in gastrointestinal tumors.
Methods: Transcriptome data, somatic mutation data and clinical data of four gastrointestinal tumors from TCGA, including esophageal cancer (ESCA), stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD), colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) and rectal adenocarcinoma (READ).
