Gastric cancer, invasive cancer of the gastrointestinal tract, found in developing countries. Chemotherapy to patients with advanced gastric cancer, exhibits greater drug resistance to standard chemotherapy drugs. Therefore, important to establish anti-cancer drugs that are successful for cancer therapy. Corilagin is a natural ellagitannin (ET) with profound pharmacological properties has been used for the study to assess its anticancer effects against N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) stimulated gastric cancer rats. Biochemical studies showed Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants increased in corilagin treated animals compared with controls. Histopathologic evaluation revealed corilagin treated rats showed cell morphology similar that control showing its ameliorating effects. In corillagen treament mRNA protein expression levels of HIF-1α, AKT, PI3K, CT4, CD147 and HMGB1 were drastically lowered transcription factors triggering gastric cancer. In Western blot analysis showed released higher apoptotic marker of caspase-3, -9, Bax while Bcl-2 levels were significantly reduced confirming that corilagin triggers apoptosis in gastric cancer.

Purpose: Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop2) is overexpressed in various solid tumors and contributes to tumor progression, while its expression remains low in normal tissues. Trop2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (Trodelvy), has shown efficacy in targeting this antigen. Leveraging the enhanced specificity of ADCs, we conducted the first immunoPET imaging study of Trop2 expression in gastric cancer (GC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) models using Zr-labeled Trodelvy ([Zr]Zr-DFO-Trodelvy).

Background: Gastric cancer poses a major diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Improved visualization of tumor margins and lymph node metastases with tumor-specific fluorescent markers could improve outcomes.
Methods: To establish orthotopic models of gastric cancer, one million cells of the human gastric cancer cell line, MKN45, were suspended in 50 μl of equal parts PBS and Matrigel and injected into the nude mouse stomach with a 29-gauge needle.
Aim: Human carbonic anhydrases (hCAs) are involved in many physiological processes including respiration, pH control, ion transport, bone resorption, and gastric fluid secretion. Recently, CA IX and CA XII have been studied for their role in cancer diseases, motivating the design of inhibitors of these isoforms.
Material And Method: Here, we used the tail approach to design a new series of monoaryl () and bicyclic () benzensulfonamide derivatives CA IX and CA XII inhibitors.

Background: Several studies have investigated the association between Helicobacter pylori colonization and gastrointestinal malignancies. However, inconsistent results have been found, leaving no clear consensus.
Materials And Methods: Umbrella review of meta-analyses of observational studies aiming to understand the association between Helicobacter pylori colonization and gastrointestinal cancers in humans.
