Bleeding and obstruction negativelyimpact qualityof life for patients with unresectable advanced gastric cancer. There are several choices against bleeding and obstruction such as surgery, endoscopic therapy, radiotherapy and interventional radiology. We report on an 85-year-old woman with StageIV gastric cancer with tumor bleeding. Radiation therapyof 30 Gyin 10 fractions was performed. Anyadverse events were not confirmed. Bleeding or obstruction did not occur for 7 months after radiation therapy. Palliative radiation therapy to gastric cancer can be a reasonable option for patients with unsuitable general conditions for surgical intervention.

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies with poor prognosis. The use of organoids to simulate gastric cancer has rapidly developed over the past several years. Patient-derived gastric cancer organoids serve as in vitro models that closely mimics donor characteristics, offering new opportunities for both basic and applied research.

Unlabelled: Gastric cancer is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates and seriously threatens human life. Our research aimed to explore the effects of poly (A) binding protein cytoplasmic 1 (PABPC1) on gastric cancer cells and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
Methods: PABPC1 levels in gastric cancer cell lines were assessed by western blotting and RT-qPCR.

Background: The role of robotic surgery for the treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer remains controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the short-term outcomes between robotic gastrectomy (RG) and laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer using data collected from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and propensity score-matched (PSM) studies.
Materials And Methods: We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases for RCTs and PSM studies comparing RG and LG.

: Mismatch repair (MMR) status is an important prognostic and predictive indicator in cancer, distinguishing proficient (pMMR) tumors from deficient (dMMR) ones. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of dMMR in colorectal (CRC) and selected non-CRC solid tumors (gastric, esophageal, and endometrial cancers). : This retrospective study was conducted at a private health institution in Mexico City, analyzing patients diagnosed with colorectal, gastric, esophageal, or endometrial cancer from January 2017 to December 2020.
