Identification of hub genes and key pathways of gastric cancer was recognized to be essential to elucidate the tumorigenesis of GC. This study was aimed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in GC via bioinformatics methods and their related pathways involved in the pathological process of GC. Gene expression profile datasets acquired by microarray chips or RNA-seq were downloaded from GEO dataset and TCGA, and 298 differentially expressed genes was identified. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Gene and Genomic Encyclopedia (KEGG) pathways of DEGs were then analyzed by the DAVID database to elucidate the potential molecular functions of DEGs. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of DEGs was further analyzed with the STRING database and PHTF2 was identified as a hub gene in the PPI network. Subsequently, PHTF2 was found to be highly expressed in different subtypes of gastric cancer tissues obtained from TCGA database or clinical patients, resulting with a poor prognosis. By GSEA, PHTF2 was found to significantly enrich the fatty acid metabolism pathway in gastric cancer. Moreover, PHTF2-regulated lipids metabolism significantly affected the tumorigenesis of GC cells. In summary, this work identified a new mechanism by which PHTF2 precipitated in the pathological process of GC by regulating cellular lipid metabolism.

Rationale And Objectives: To develop and validate a radiomics signature, utilizing baseline and restaging CT, for preoperatively predicting progression-free survival (PFS) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC).
Methods: A total of 316 patients with LAGC who received NAC followed by gastrectomy were retrospectively included in this single-center study; these patients were split into two cohorts, one for training (n = 243) and the other for validation (n = 73), based on the different districts of our hospital. A total of 1316 radiomics features were extracted from the volume of interest of the gastric-cancer lesion on venous phase CT images.

Background: Duodenal stump leakage is one of the most critical complications following gastrectomy surgery, with a high mortality rate. The present study aimed to establish a predictive model based on machine learning for forecasting the occurrence of duodenal stump leakage in patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Materials And Methods: The present study included the data of 4,070 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who received laparoscopic gastrectomy.

Intracellular Ca homeostasis dysregulation, through the modulation of calcium permeable ion channels and transporters, is gaining attention in cancer research as an apoptosis evasion mechanism. Recently, we highlighted a prognostic role for several calcium permeable channels. Among them, here, we focused on the plasma membrane bidirectional Na/Ca exchanger SLC8A1.

Purpose: Gastric cancer (GC) remains a major malignancy. Robotic gastrectomy (RG) has gained popularity due to various advantages. Despite those advantages, many hospitals lack the necessary equipment for RG and are still performing laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) due to its established minimal invasiveness and safety.
