Background: Stomach cancer is a curative disease in early stages. The optimal extent and approach for gastric resection are still evolving.

Patients And Methods: In this study, we examined the value, as well as, the predictors of omental disease spread, retrospectively, in a group of patients with gastric cancer who attended the Oncology Center, Mansoura University, in the period between January 2006 and April 2017.

Results: Nodal metastasis, especially heavy disease (N and beyond), and advanced stage are predictors of the presence of omental disease. However, neither overall nor disease-free survival is affected by omental infiltration.

Conclusion: Omental resection will continue being an integral part of gastric resection, but the level of omental cutting needs further studies.

Exosomal miR-552-5p Regulates the Role of NK Cells in EMT of Gastric Cancer via the PD-1/PD-L1 Axis.

J Cancer

January 2025

Department of Gastroenterology and Respiratory Internal Medicine & Endoscopy Center, Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital, Nanning, Guangxi 530021, P.R. China.

While previous studies have established the role of exosomal miR-552-5p in promoting gastric cancer (GC) progression, the exact mechanisms through which it modulates the PD-1/PD-L1 axis to affect NK cell function and subsequently influence GC epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) remain to be elucidated. Western blot, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and nanoparticle tracking analysis were used to characterize exosomes that were isolated from GC cell supernatants. Subcutaneous AGS cell injections expressing either Lv-miR-552-5p or Lv-NC were administered to nude BALB/C mice.

Chemoresistance severely deteriorates the prognosis of advanced gastric cancer (GC) patients. Several studies demonstrated that (HP)-positive GC patients showed better outcomes after receiving chemotherapy than HP-negative ones. This study aims to confirm the role of HP in GC chemotherapy and to study the underlying mechanisms.

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.

Development and validation of a programmed cell death index to predict the prognosis and drug sensitivity of gastric cancer.

Aim: Programmed cell death (PCD) critically influences the tumor microenvironment (TME) and is intricately linked to tumor progression and patient prognosis. This study aimed to develop a novel prognostic indicator and marker of drug sensitivity in patients with gastric cancer (GC) based on PCD.

Methods: We analyzed genes associated with 14 distinct PCD patterns using bulk transcriptome data and clinical information from TCGA-STAD for model construction with univariate Cox regression and LASSO regression analyses.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a significant public health concern in the USA, and its burden is on the rise.

Methods: This study utilized the latest data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. We provided descriptive statistics on the incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and age-standardized rates (ASRs) of GC across the USA and states.
