Background: First-line chemotherapeutic agents lead to remarkable activation treatment in cancers, but the side effects of these drugs also damage healthy cells. In some cases, drug resistance to chemotherapeutic agents is induced in cancer cells. The molecular mechanisms underlying such a side effect have been studied in a range of cancer types, yet little is known about how the adverse effects of chemotherapeutic drugs can be diminished by targeting bromodomain-containing protein 9 (BRD9) in gastric cancers.
Methods: We used two gastric cancer cell lines (MGC-803 and AGS) for comparison. We applied molecular and cellular techniques to measure cell survival and mRNA expression, investigated clinical data in the consensus of The Cancer Genome Atlas, and utilized high-throughput sequencing in MGC-803 cells and AGS cells for global gene expression analysis in inhibiting BRD9 conditions.
Results: Our studies showed that cancer cells with BRD9 overexpression, MGC-803 cells, were more sensitive to BRD9 inhibitors (i.e., BI9564 or BI7273) than AGS cells. The mechanism of BRD9 was related to the regulation of calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit alpha2 delta 4 (CANA2D4), calmodulin-like 6 (CALML6), guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein), alpha activating activity polypeptide O (GNAO1) and Potassium Inwardly Rectifying Channel Subfamily J, Member 5 (KCNJ5) oncogenes in the oxytocin signaling pathway. BRD9 inhibitors could enhance the sensitivity of gastric cancer MGC-803 cells to adriamycin and cisplatin, so we may reduce the dosage of chemotherapeutic agents in curing gastric cancers with BRD9 over expression by combining BI9564 or BI7273 with adriamycin or cisplatin.
Conclusions: Our study elucidated the feasibility and effectiveness of inhibiting BRD9 to reduce the adverse effects of first-line chemotherapeutic agents in treating gastric cancer with BRD9 overexpression. This study provides a scientific theoretical basis for a chemotherapy regimen in gastric cancer with BRD9 overexpression.

To date, no prospective study has been conducted to compare the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic snare resection with an elastic band (ESR-EB) and endoscopic snare resection with a transparent cap (ESR-C) for treating gastric muscularis propria lesions. We aimed to compare the safety and effectiveness of ESR-EB with those of ESR-C for gastric muscularis propria lesions less than 10 mm in diameter. A total of 64 patients were enrolled prospectively from May 2023 to November 2023 at Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University, and the People's Hospital of Zhongshan City.

Impaired nutritional status is closely related to the development of sarcopenia and poor quality of life (QoL) in cancer patients. This study aimed to investigate the association of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) with sarcopenia and QoL in patients with gastric cancer (GC). Sarcopenia was diagnosed based on the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 criteria.

The introduction of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapies revolutionized treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet response rates remain modest, underscoring the need for predictive biomarkers. While a T cell inflamed gene expression profile (GEP) has predicted anti-PD-1 response in various cancers, it failed in a large NSCLC cohort from the Stand Up To Cancer-Mark (SU2C-MARK) Foundation. Re-analysis revealed that while the T cell inflamed GEP alone was not predictive, its performance improved significantly when combined with gene signatures of myeloid cell markers.

Background: Benzodiazepines are the third most misused medication, with many patients having their first exposure during a surgical episode. We sought to characterize factors associated with new persistent benzodiazepine use (NPBU) among patients undergoing cancer surgery.
Patients And Methods: Patients who underwent cancer surgery between 2013 and 2021 were identified using the IBM-MarketScan database.

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.
