Endoscopic antireflux therapy is widely used in clinical practice. Peroral endoscopic cardial constriction (PECC), antireflux mucosal intervention (ARMI), and radiofrequency ablation (RF) possess analogous antireflux mechanisms. This comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate and compare the safety and effectiveness of antireflux therapy during endoscopic cardia peripheral tissue scar formation (ECSF) procedures.

Pyruvate is situated at the intersection of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and glycolysis, which are the primary energy-producing pathways in cells. Cancer therapies targeting these pathways have been previously documented, indicating that inhibiting one pathway may lead to functional compensation by the other, resulting in an insufficient antitumor effect. Thus, effective cancer treatment necessitates concurrent and comprehensive suppression of both.

Introduction: The first-line standard therapy for advanced HER2-positive gastric cancer is chemotherapy combined with trastuzumab and pembrolizumab, while pembrolizumab alone does not benefit as a monotherapy in patients with mismatch repair proficiency (pMMR). This case explores the therapeutic potential of adding pembrolizumab to patients who were resistant to trastuzumab, focusing on the synergistic effect of an immune checkmate inhibitor, combined with HER2 antibody.
Case Presentation: An 87-year-old metastatic gastric cancer patient, whose medical history was significant for intolerance to chemotherapy and had a poor status of performance.
