We investigated the surgical outcomes of the patients with gastric cancer in aged 85 and older. There were 9 males and 8 females, with a median age of 86 years. All had comorbidities and 7 had double cancers. Type of surgery was distal gastrectomy in 14 and total gastrectomy in 3, respectively. Postoperative complications occurred in 8 cases, and case with adhesion ileus or mesenteric bleeding performed reoperation. The postoperative hospital stay was 15 days. The cause of death was recurrent diseases in 2 cases and other diseases in 4. The overall survival rate was 63.9% for 3 years and 42.6% for 5 years, respectively. Elderly patients with gastric cancer may be increase in Japan, but they have large individual differences about tolerance of surgical intervention. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the detail of general condition in such patients.

Purpose: Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are major risk factors for hepatic steatosis. Diet or bariatric surgery can reduce liver volume, fat content, and inflammation. However, little is known about their effects on liver function, as evaluated here using the LiMAx test.

Single-incision plus one-port laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double-channel anastomosis (SILT-DT) is a minimally invasive surgical approach for treating proximal gastric cancer. This technique includes comprehensive laparoscopic resection of the proximal stomach, lymph node dissection, and double-tract anastomosis. By integrating single-port laparoscopic surgery with an auxiliary operating hole, SILT-DT reduces procedural difficulty while facilitating the placement of an abdominal drainage tube.

No established method currently exists for evaluating tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in gastric cancer (GC), and their clinical significance based on infiltration site in GC remains unclear. In this study, we developed a method to evaluate TILs according to their infiltration site as a prognostic marker for GC. We retrospectively analyzed 103 patients with advanced GC who underwent curative resection.

Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor with high incidence and mortality. The overexpression of Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is associated with increased metastatic potential and poor clinical outcome in gastric cancer. Despite the proven clinical response rates of approved HER2-targeted therapies, including Trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy, their limited long-term clinical benefits and inevitable disease progression still pose significant challenges to the clinical treatment of gastric cancer.
