A 36-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a complaint of melena. Examinations revealed type 3 gastric cancer with left supraclavicular lymph node(Virchow's node)and para-aortic lymph node(PAN)metastases. The patient was treated with S-1 and CDDP combination chemotherapy. After 2 courses of chemotherapy, the lymph node metastases were significantly reduced. Subsequently, a total gastrectomy with D2 plus PAN dissection was performed. Histopathological examination revealed the complete absence of cancer cells in both the primary lesion of the stomach and all dissected lymph nodes. No additional surgery or radiation therapy was performed for Virchow's node metastasis. Postoperatively, she received S-1 chemotherapy for 2.5 years. She remains well 9.5 years after the surgery, without any evidence of recurrent disease.

The study by Yang presents a comprehensive investigation into the therapeutic potential of curcumin for gastric cancer (GC). Using network pharmacology, the researchers identified 48 curcumin-related genes, 31 of which overlap with GC targets. Key genes, including , , , , , and , are linked to poor survival in GC patients.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent malignancy with a substantial health burden and high mortality rate, despite advances in prevention, early detection, and treatment. Compared with the global average, Asia, notably China, reports disproportionately high GC incidences. The disease often progresses asymptomatically in the early stages, leading to delayed diagnosis and compromised outcomes.

Department of Oncology, Zhangjiagang First People's Hospital, Suzhou 215600, Jiangsu Province, China.
Background: Owing to the absence of specific symptoms in early-stage gastric cancer, most patients are diagnosed at intermediate or advanced stages. As a result, treatment often shifts from surgery to other therapies, with chemotherapy and targeted therapies being the primary options for advanced gastric cancer treatment.
Aim: To investigate both treatment efficacy and immune modulation.

Background: Efficacy of eradication regimens in (Hp) infection is commonly reported with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). In patients with corpus atrophic gastritis, characterized by impaired acid secretion, PPI treatment is questionable.
Objectives: The current study aimed to assess in clinical practice the tolerability and eradication rate of modified eradication regimens without PPI as first-line treatment in patients with histologically Hp-positive corpus atrophic gastritis.
