An 82-year-old, male. He visited his local doctor with a chief complaint of dyspnea on exertion. Anemia was noted, and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed, which revealed an ulcerative lesion in the gastric antrum. A biopsy revealed Group 5, tub2, and HER2 negative, with PD-L1≥5%. cT3N1H1(M1 HEP), cStage ⅣB was diagnosed based on CT scan showing enlarged #8 lymph node and a single liver metastasis in the 2 cm range in S6 of the liver. The patient was deemed unresectable and was started on SOX plus nivolumab therapy. On day 11 after initiation, the patient had Grade 3 diarrhea by CTCAE v5.0, and S-1 was withdrawn for 3 days, but was administered for 2 courses. CT and MRI after chemotherapy showed shrinkage of both the primary tumor and liver metastases; R0 resection was deemed possible, and pyloric gastrectomy, D2 lymph node dissection, and partial hepatic S6 resection were performed. The histological evaluation of response to treatment was Grade 1b, and the patient was in ypStage ⅠA. The patient has been alive without recurrence for 6 months postoperatively while receiving S-1 monotherapy on an outpatient basis.

This study aimed to identify radiotherapy dosimetric parameters related to local failure (LF)-free survival (LFFS) in patients with lung and liver oligometastases from colorectal cancer treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). We analyzed 75 oligometastatic lesions in 55 patients treated with SBRT between January 2014 and December 2021. There was no constraint or intentional increase in maximum dose.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) show optimal treatment effects on recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma(R/M NPC). Nonetheless, whether metastatic sites impact ICIs efficacy remains unclear.
Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of R/M NPC patients treated with KL-A167, a programmed cell death-ligand 1(PD-L1) inhibitor, based on a multicenter, single-arm, phase II study from China between 2019 and 2021 years, which represents the first and most comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness of a PD-L1 inhibitor in patients who have been previously treated.

Background: Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) combined with serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels to evaluate the efficacy of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRCLM) treatment is still rare.
Purpose: To investigate the predictive value of DCE-MRI combined with serum CEA and CA 19-9 concerning the efficacy of comprehensive treatment for CRCLM.
Materials And Methods: A total of 120 patients with CRC were retrospectively recruited using convenience sampling between May 2019 and March 2024.

Background: Leptomeningeal metastasis of gastric adenocarcinoma (LM-GC) is a rare and severe complication with a poor prognosis, its prognosis is significantly poorer than liver, lung, and peritoneal metastases. Studies on LM-GC have been limited to clinical case reports. Despite advances in systemic therapies, there is a lack of standardized treatment protocols for LM-GC due to its rarity and the challenges it presents.

Background/aims: Gastric neuroendocrine tumors (GNETs), once rare, have become more prevalent due to the increased use of endoscopy and increased physician awareness. The clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes of GNET management were explored in this study.
Methods: The clinical data of 69 patients who treated at Seoul National University Hospital between January 2013 and October 2023 were retrospectively studied.
