Clinical advantage of standardized robotic total gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a single-center retrospective cohort study using propensity-score matching analysis
Although recent studies have shown that robotic gastrectomy offers clinical advantages over laparoscopic gastrectomy in decreasing gastric cancer (GC) morbidity, studies focusing on robotic total gastrectomy (...

Open AccessExpression status of p53 and organic cation transporter 1 is correlated with poor response to preoperative chemotherapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a highly malignant neoplasm. DNA-damaging drugs, such as cisplatin (CDDP) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), are most frequently used in preoperative chemotherapy for ESCC....

Article
Determination of the optimal surgical procedure by identifying risk factors for pneumonia after transthoracic esophagectomy
Esophagectomy is associated with a high risk of postoperative complications, and the respiratory complications are the most common. Therefore, stratification of patients based on preoperative risk factors is e...

Article
A low surgical Apgar score is a predictor of anastomotic leakage after transthoracic esophagectomy, but not a prognostic factor
The surgical Apgar score (SAS) has been a useful predictor of postoperative complications in several types of cancer. However, there are few reports about the correlation of SAS and esophageal cancer. This stu...

Article
Potential for local resection with sentinel node basin dissection for early gastric cancer based on the distribution of primary sites
Based on the sentinel node (SN) concept, function-preserving surgery with SN basin dissection (SNBD) can be performed for SN-negative early gastric cancers. Particularly, a resection area can be minimized when...

Risk factors for lymph node metastasis in non-sentinel node basins in early gastric cancer: sentinel node concept
Sentinel node (SN) concept is being applied to early gastric cancer. However, when SNs are positive for metastasis, it is unclear how often LNs in other LN basins show metastasis. We aimed to investigate LN me...
