Early gastric cancer, i.e., a tumor of intestinal or diffuse cell type confined to the mucosa or submucosa, has so far been found in only 6% of all cases of gastric carcinoma in Europe, whereas the Japanese report a percentage of 30%. This tumor stage has a very good prognosis with a survival rate of 95% or 87%. If the tumor lies in the distal half of the stomach, a subtotal gastrectomy is justified, whereas we recommend total gastrectomy in a more proximal localization. In exceptional cases such as a polypous tumor situated near the cardia, an endoscopic resection or local excision may be considered.

Caffeine (CAFF) is abundant in black coffee. As one of the most widely consumed beverages globally, coffee has been the focus of increasing clinical and basic research, particularly regarding its benefits in alleviating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, the therapeutic effects of CAFF on metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Purpose: Trophoblast cell-surface antigen 2 (Trop2) is overexpressed in various solid tumors and contributes to tumor progression, while its expression remains low in normal tissues. Trop2-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (Trodelvy), has shown efficacy in targeting this antigen. Leveraging the enhanced specificity of ADCs, we conducted the first immunoPET imaging study of Trop2 expression in gastric cancer (GC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) models using Zr-labeled Trodelvy ([Zr]Zr-DFO-Trodelvy).

Objective: To identify strategies to prevent and treat delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after pancreatic surgery.

Background: Among all complications of pancreatic surgery, DGE has the largest impact on prolonged hospital stay. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have addressed DGE after pancreatic surgery, either as primary or as secondary outcome.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) contributes to ~1.5% of human cancers, including lymphomas, gastric and nasopharyngeal carcinomas. In most of these, nearly 80 viral lytic genes are silenced by incompletely understood epigenetic mechanisms, precluding use of antiviral agents such as ganciclovir to treat the 200,000 EBV-associated cancers/year.
