Open AccessHigh-throughput proteomics profiling-derived signature associated with chemotherapy response and survival for stage II/III colorectal cancer
Adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) is usually used to reduce the risk of disease relapse and improve survival for stage II/III colorectal cancer (CRC). However, only a subset of patients could benefit from ACT. Thus,...

Open AccessThe 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer tumor-node-metastasis staging system for gastric cancer is superior to the 7th edition: results from a Chinese mono-institutional study of 1663 patients
We investigated the superiority of the 8th edition of the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) system for patients in China with gastric cancer.

Open AccessPrognostic significance of the total number of harvested lymph nodes for lymph node-negative gastric cancer patients
The relationship between the number of harvested lymph nodes (HLNs) and prognosis of gastric cancer patients without an involvement of lymph nodes has not been well-evaluated. The objective of this study is to...

Open AccessThe optimal extent of gastrectomy for middle-third gastric cancer: distal subtotal gastrectomy is superior to total gastrectomy in short-term effect without sacrificing long-term survival
The optimal extent of gastrectomy for middle-third gastric cancer remains controversial. In our study, the short-term effects and longer-term survival outcomes of distal subtotal gastrectomy and total gastrect...

Recurrent amplification of MYC and TNFRSF11B in 8q24 is associated with poor survival in patients with gastric cancer
Gastric cancer (GC) is an aggressive malignancy whose mechanisms of development and progression are poorly understood. The identification of prognosis-related genomic loci and genes may suffer from the relativ...

Open AccessPresence of S100A9-positive inflammatory cells in cancer tissues correlates with an early stage cancer and a better prognosis in patients with gastric cancer
S100A9 was originally discovered as a factor secreted by inflammatory cells. Recently, S100A9 was found to be associated with several human malignancies. The purpose of this study is to investigate S100A9 expr...

Dominant expression of 85-kDa form of cortactin in colorectal cancer
Purpose: Cortactin is commonly expressed in several human cancers, which may alter their invasive or metastatic properties. Eighty five kilodalton form (p85) and 80-kDa form (p80) of cort...
