Background/aim: TNM stage is crucial for patients with gastric cancer because curative resection and treatment are only possible in early TNM stages. Therefore, our objective was to assess the association of clinicopathological features with TNM stage in such patients.

Patients And Methods: The association of age, sex, tumor location and Lauren type with TNM stage was analyzed in 910 patients with gastric cancer.

Results: Age, sex, and tumor location did not have any association with TNM stage in univariate nor multivariate analyses (>0.05). However, compared to the diffuse and mixed types, the intestinal type (as defined by the Lauren classification) presented lower T stage of gastric cancer in the chi-squared test (<0.001) and this association was confirmed in the multinominal log normal model (=0.001).

Conclusion: The histological Lauren type of gastric cancer is associated with lower TNM T stage.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors have shown efficacy in treating ALK-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, the effectiveness of ensartinib neoadjuvant therapy remains ambiguous. Herein, we reported that preoperative systemic treatment with the ALK inhibitor ensartinib can be beneficial for treating initially inoperable tumors.

Background: This study sought to establish a risk score signature based on disulfidptosis-related genes (DRGs) to predict the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.

Methods: The expression data of DRGs from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) was analyzed to develop and validate a DRG prognostic signature (DRGPS). In vitro, experiments were conducted to explore DRG expressions and roles in HCC tissues and cell lines.

Background: Primary pulmonary rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a rare soft tissue sarcoma, is characterized by a high recurrence rate and a poor prognosis. This systematic review aims to summarize the clinical characteristics, pathological features, treatment, and clinical outcomes of primary pulmonary RMS, and to analyze prognostic-related risk factors to provide robust evidence for future treatment strategies.

Methods: Five databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, and Web of Science) were searched using the relevant terms including "pulmonary", "lung", "alveolar", "ERMS", "ARMS", "RMS" and "rhabdomyosarcoma".

This review covers current classification systems and the knowledge of genetic disorders and medical therapies. Thymic carcinoids or neuroendocrine neoplasms (t-NEN) are a rare entity with dismal prognosis. About 25% of the tumors are related to Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type I (MEN-1), where they contribute significantly to mortality.

Objectives: AJCC8 introduced separate staging for HPV-associated OPSCC in 2018 to enhance prognostic discrimination. Consequently, most patients previously staged I-IVA in AJCC7 were reclassified as stage I. This study aimed to stratify AJCC8 stage I HPV-associated OPSCC patients using AJCC7 criteria to assess hazard consistency.
