Primary gastric lymphoma (PGL) is the most common extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma. However, uniform criteria for treatment and outcome evaluation are lacking. MicroRNA-16 (miRNA-16) has been shown to exhibit tumor-suppressive properties in many cancers and is a good biomarker of prognosis. We detected the expression level of miRNA-16 in 91 patients with PGL by qPCR and analyzed the prognostic significance. The proportion of patients with high expression of miRNA-16 was greater in patients with disease onset at age ≤ 60 years ( = 0.027), early-stage disease ( = 0.06), and marginal zone B-cell lymphoma ( = 0.0031). Furthermore, the proportion of patients with high expression of miRNA-16 was greater in those with a complete response than in those without a complete response ( = 0.054). However, miRNA-16 expression was not a statistically significant predictor of survival. These results suggest that miRNA-16 is a useful biomarker of disease prognosis in patients with PGL.

Background: The delivery of cancer services changed significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to describe changes in presentations, assess the change in recommendations by the MDT during the pandemic, and describe the subsequent long-term impact of these changes on survival rates in patients with EG cancer.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was designed comparing three patient groups of those referred to EG MDT in the same 6-month period pre-pandemic (PP;2019) during the initial phase of the pandemic (P1;2020) and the year after the initial phase (P2;2021).
A nomogram for predicting overall survival in patients with gastric cancer based on tumor suppressor RCAN1.4 expression and clinical risk factors.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors in the world and has an extremely poor prognosis. Regulator of calcineurin 1 (RCAN1), a known tumor suppressor in various cancers, has an undefined role in the proliferation and metastasis of GC. Primary tumor and paired normal gastric tissues were collected from 77 patients with GC for evaluating the mRNA levels of 3 RCAN1 transcripts.

Introduction: Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) and patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) constitute two major advances in pain management after major abdominal surgery. However, the role of PCIA or PCEA has not been particularly studied in elderly patients with gastric cancer. The aim of this study is to make a comparison between PCIA and PCEA in terms of their performance on short-term outcomes in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy.

The formation of gastric precancerous-lesions (GPLs) has been identified as a critical step in tumorigenesis, and patients with GPLs have an increased risk of gastric cancer. Magnolol is the primary biphenolic compound in Magnolia officinalis. It possesses various pharmacological properties, such as cardioprotective and neuroprotective properties, and inhibit tumor growth.

Introduction: Nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PNETs) have been diagnosed increasingly often but still represent rare pancreatic neoplasms. Surgery is a potentially curative approach for patients with NF-PNETs. In recent years, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been applied more frequently for surgical resection of NF-PNETs.
