The aim of this study was to explore the potential molecular mechanisms of Gastric cancer (GC) and identify new prognostic markers for GC. RNA sequencing data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and 418 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened. Weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to identify six hub modules related to the clinical features of GC. Cytoscape software was used to identify five hub genes in the co-expression network, including CST1, CEMIP, COL8A1, PMEPA1, and MSLN. The TCGA database was used to verify hub gene expression in GC. The overall survival in the high CEMIP expression group was significantly lower than that of patients in the low CEMIP expression group. CEMIP expression was also found to be negatively correlated with B cell and CD4 + T cell infiltration. Further, associated in vitro experiments confirmed that CEMIP downregulation suppressed the proliferation and migration of GC cells and impaired the chemoresistance of GC cells to 5-fluorouracil.Our study effectively identified and validated prognostic biomarkers for GC, laying a new foundation for the therapeutic target, occurrence, and development of gastric cancer.

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.
