Objective: To explore the risk factors of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients with gastric cancer after radical resection and to establish a risk prediction model.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of the clinicopathological data of 687 elderly patients who underwent radical gastric cancer surgery from January 2014 to January 2020 in the Third Department of Surgery, Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University was conducted. The degree of cognitive impairment was divided into POCD positive group (n=141, 20.52%) and POCD negative group (n=546, 79.48%). The general data of the two groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for POCD in elderly gastric cancer patients after radical surgery. A risk prediction model was established. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the model.
Results: Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative ASA classification (OR=4.674, 95% CI: 1.610~12.651, P=0.020), age (OR=3.130, 95% CI: 1.307~8.669, P=0.001), operation time (OR=2.724, 95% CI: 1.232~7.234, P=0.031), preoperative PG-SGA score (OR=4.023, 95% CI: 1.011-10.883, P=0.048), and preoperative hemoglobin (OR=4.158, 95% CI: 2.255~8.227, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for POCD. Intraoperative application of dexmedetomidine (OR=0.172, 95% CI: 0.078~0.314, P=0.002) and maintaining a deeper anesthesia state (OR=0.151, 95% CI: 0.122~0.283, P=0.018) were protective factors. The area under the ROC curve of the POCD risk prediction model for elderly gastric cancer patients after surgery was 0.820 (95% CI: 0.742-0.899) (P<0.01).
Conclusion: The occurrence of postoperative POCD in elderly patients with gastric cancer is closely related to a variety of risk factors. By establishing a risk prediction model for the occurrence of POCD, high-risk patients can be effectively identified during the perioperative period, to intervene earlier.

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) burden is currently evolving with regional differences associated with complex behavioural, environmental, and genetic risk factors. The LEGACy study is a Horizon 2020-funded multi-institutional research project conducted prospectively to provide comprehensive data on the tumour biological characteristics of gastroesophageal cancer from European and LATAM countries.
Material And Methods: Treatment-naïve advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma patients were prospectively recruited in seven European and LATAM countries.

Gastric cancer (GC), one of the most common and heterogeneous malignancies, is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide and is closely related to dietary habits. Fatty acid is one of the main nutrients of human beings, which is closely related to diabetes, hypertension and other diseases. However, the correlation between fatty acid metabolism and the development and progression of GC remains largely unknown.

The prominence of circular RNAs (circRNAs) has surged in cancer research due to their distinctive properties and impact on cancer development. This review delves into the role of circRNAs in four key cancer types: colorectal cancer (CRC), gastric cancer (GC), liver cancer (HCC), and lung cancer (LUAD). The focus lies on their potential as cancer biomarkers and drug targets.

Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer is characterized by an increased risk of diffuse gastric cancer and lobular breast cancer, and is caused by pathogenic germline variants of E-cadherin and -E-catenin, which are key regulators of cell-cell adhesion. However, how the loss of cell-cell adhesion promotes cell dissemination remains to be fully understood. Therefore, a three-dimensional computer model was developed to describe the initial steps of diffuse gastric cancer development.

No biomarker can effectively screen for early gastric cancer (EGC). Players in the A disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM)-natural killer group 2 member D (NKG2D) receptor axis may have a role for that. As a proof-of-concept pilot study, the expression of ADAM8, ADAM9, ADAM10, ADAM12, ADAM17, and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I chain-related sequence A (MICA), a ligand for NKG2D, in gastric cancer was investigated in silico using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.
