Gastric cancer is one of the malignant tumors with the highest morbidity and mortality rates worldwide. Yet, there is a lack of diagnostic markers with high sensitivity in the clinic. tRNA-derived small RNAs are a novel type of non-coding small RNAs, which are abundant in tumor cells and body fluids. In this study, we explored the potential of 3'-tRF as a tumor marker for the diagnosis of GC. Differential expression of 3'-tRF was screened by high-throughput sequencing, and Quantitative real-time PCR confirmed its low expression in GC serum with good stability. Differential expression of serum 3'-tRF could distinguish between GC patients, gastritis patients, and healthy donors and was significantly correlated with clinical pathological features such as tumor differentiation, lymph node metastasis, and TNM staging. The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that 3'-tRF had a higher diagnostic value compared with conventional biomarkers, especially in the diagnosis of early gastric cancer. In conclusion, our results suggest that 3'-tRF can serve as a highly sensitive biomarker with a certain value for monitoring tumor development and prognosis.

Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) is traditionally associated with mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, predominantly impacting breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate cancers. However, recent research suggests that these mutations may also predispose carriers to a broader spectrum of malignancies, including biliary tract, cervical, colorectal, endometrial, esophageal, and gastric cancers. This review presents findings from extensive datasets, including a significant study from a nationwide Japanese biobank that examined cancer risks in 63,828 patients and 37,086 controls.

Background: Tumors and surgical procedures trigger a series of metabolic responses that put gastric cancer patients at constant risk of malnutrition during the perioperative period. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of enteral immunonutrition (EIN) for these patients remains a subject of ongoing debate.
Objective: This systematic review and evidence map aim to retrieve randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on perioperative EIN interventions in gastric cancer patients undergoing surgery and evaluate their effectiveness.

A 75-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of jaundice and elevated liver enzyme levels. She was diagnosed with pancreatic head carcinoma after examination. She had undergone massive resection of the small intestine due to thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery at 48 years of age, and the remaining ileum was approximately 70 cm in length.

Robotic gastrectomy is a safe and minimally invasive approach that may reduce the risk of complications in patients with severely impaired pulmonary function. Here, we report the successful treatment of an 80-year-old patient with gastric cancer and myasthenia gravis(MG)using perioperative respiratory rehabilitation and robotic gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. Patients with gastric cancer and severe pulmonary dysfunction are at a risk of postoperative respiratory disorders, including severe pneumonia.
