RAB3A interacting protein (Rab3IP) has been determined to be involved in cancer progression; however, its expression pattern and function in gastric cancer remain unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the association between Rab3IP and gastric cancer, in addition to its functional role in this disease. Overexpression of Rab3IP in gastric cancer was verified at both transcriptional and translational levels. Analysis of clinical data indicated its role as an independent risk factor for survival. Cellular studies showed that Rab3IP could induce an aggressive phenotype in gastric cancer cells and that its expression was correlated with markers of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). In addition, we verified the co-expression of and interplay between Rab3IP and SSX2 during gastric cancer progression. Thus, these findings elucidated the central role of Rab3IP in inducing an invasive phenotype in gastric cancer cells, in addition to its involvement in EMT. Our results could be exploited for the clinical prognosis and treatment of this important disease.

Objective: Proximal gastrectomy (PG) is commonly used to remove proximal gastric cancer leading to gastroesophageal reflux and requires digestive tract reconstruction. This study is to compare the performance of esophagogastrostomy (EG), jejunal interposition (JI), and double tract reconstruction (DTR) on post-PG reconstruction effectiveness.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using the clinical data of 94 PG patients who underwent digestive tract reconstruction by EG (37 patients), JI (29 patients) or DTR (28 patients).

Gastric cancer is a malignant gastrointestinal disease characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. The occurrence and progression of gastric cancer are influenced by various factors, including the abnormal alternative splicing of key genes. Recently, RBM39 has emerged as a tumor biomarker that regulates alternative splicing in several types of cancer.

Background And Objective: Gastric cancer (GC) remains a prevalent and preventable disease, yet accurate early diagnostic methods are lacking. Exosome non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), a type of liquid biopsy, have emerged as promising diagnostic biomarkers for various tumours. This study aimed to identify a serum exosome ncRNA feature for enhancing GC diagnosis.

Background: Fluorescence molecular imaging, a potent and non-invasive technique, has become indispensable in medicine for visualizing molecular processes. In surgical oncology, it aids treatment by allowing visualization of tumor cells during fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS). Targeting the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), overexpressed during tissue remodeling and inflammation, holds promise for advancing FGS by specifically highlighting tumors.
