Objectives: To explore the expression level and to investigate the clinical associations of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) FAM83H-AS1 in gastric cancer.

Methods: The expression level of FAM83H-AS1 were explored by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). The Cox regression models as well as log-rank test were utilized to investigate whether FAM83H-AS1 expression could be used as a prognosis predictor. The value of FAM83H-AS1 as a diagnostic biomarker was evaluated by receiver operating curves (ROC).

Results: Aberrantly upregulation of FAM83H-AS1 was identified in gastric cancer in comparison with that in normal tissues. We also found that upregulated FAM83H-AS1 was a risk factor relating to OS and DFS. The area under curve (AUC) was 0.8603 and 0.6778 for gastric cancer and lymph node metastasis, respectively.

Conclusion: Our results indicated that FAM83H-AS1 may function as an oncogene in gastric cancer and could be used as a prognosis predictor or diagnostic biomarker in gastric cancer.

Novel nutrition strategies in gastric and esophageal cancer.

Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol

January 2025

Department of Surgery, Trinity St. James's Cancer Institute, Dublin, Ireland.

Introduction: Advances in treatment strategies for gastric and esophageal cancer have led to improved long-term outcomes, however the local and systemic effects of tumor growth, neoadjuvant therapies and surgery, results in specific nutritional challenges. Comprehensive nutritional evaluation and support represents a core component of multidisciplinary holistic care for this patient population.

Areas Covered: This review provides a detailed overview of the nutritional challenges in gastric and esophageal cancer, with a focus on malignant obstruction, preoperative optimization and nutrition in survivorship.

Background: Malnutrition is common with esophagogastric cancers and is associated with negative outcomes. We aimed to evaluate if immunonutrition during neoadjuvant treatment improves patient's health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and reduces postoperative morbidity and toxicities during neoadjuvant treatment.

Methods: A multicenter double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) was undertaken.

Background: Gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis lacks effective predictive indices. This article retrospectively explored predictive values of DNA ploidy, stroma, and nucleotyping in gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis.

Methods: A comprehensive analysis was conducted on specimens obtained from 80 gastric cancer patients who underwent gastric resection at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Wuhan University Renmin Hospital.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a crucial component in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of peritoneal metastasis (PM), where they contribute to tumor progression and metastasis via secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6). Here, we investigated the role of IL-6 in PM of gastric cancer (GC) and assessed whether anti-IL-6 receptor antibody (anti-IL-6R Ab) could inhibit PM of GC. We conducted immunohistochemical analysis of IL-6 and α-smooth muscle (α-SMA) expressions in clinical samples of GC and PM, and investigated the interactions between CAFs and GC cells in vitro.

Trousseau's syndrome is a thromboembolic disorder associated with malignancies, with cerebral infarction and hemorrhage representing common central nervous system complications in patients with cancer. This report details the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with gastric adenocarcinoma at our institution who concurrently developed cerebral infarction and subarachnoid hemorrhage. We performed a comprehensive literature review in the Wanfang and PubMed databases, searching for relevant studies on Trousseau's syndrome, cerebral embolism, and subarachnoid hemorrhage.
