Development and Validation of a Prognostic Model for Postoperative Anastomotic Recurrence in Siewert II or III Adenocarcinomas Without Neoadjuvant Therapy in an East Asian Population
Anastomotic recurrence leads to poor prognosis in patients with Siewert II or III adenocarcinoma who undergo radical gastrectomy and do not receive neoadjuvant therapy. We aimed to establish a prognostic model...

Impact of chemotherapy delay on long-term prognosis of laparoscopic radical surgery for locally advanced gastric cancer: a pooled analysis of four randomized controlled trials
Adjuvant chemotherapy following curative surgery for locally advanced gastric cancer (AGC) significantly improves long-term patient prognosis. However, delayed chemotherapy (DC), in which patients are unable t...

Article
Robot-assisted versus laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy among malnourished patients with gastric cancer based on textbook outcome
Textbook outcome (TO) has been widely employed as a comprehensive indicator to assess the short-term prognosis of patients with cancer. Preoperative malnutrition is a potential risk factor for adverse surgical...

Article
Long-term oncological outcomes of 3D versus 2D laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a randomized clinical trial
Laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy (LG) is rapidly gaining popularity owing to its minimal invasiveness. Previous studies have found that compared with two-dimensional (2D)-LG, three-dimensional (3D)-LG showed b...

Article
Appraisal of surgical outcomes and oncological efficiency of intraoperative adverse events in robotic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer
Surgical quality control is a crucial determinant of evaluating the tumor efficacy.

Article
Effect of sarcopenia on short-term and long-term outcomes of older patients with locally advanced gastric cancer: a multicenter study
To assess the effect of preoperative sarcopenia on the short-term and long-term outcomes in older patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC).

Article
Comparison of robotic versus laparoscopic versus open distal gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer: a prospective trial-based economic evaluation
It is largely unclear whether robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) is cost-effective for locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC).

Article
Oncological outcomes of laparoscopic versus open radical total gastrectomy for upper-middle gastric cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy: a study of real-world data
Laparoscopic technique has been increasingly used in gastrectomy, but the safety and feasibility of the laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) for advanced proximal gastric cancer (PGC) after neoadjuvant chemoth...

Article
Retreatment Efficacy and Renal Safety of Tenofovir Alafenamide, Entecavir, and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate After Entecavir or Tenofovir Cessation
We aimed to compare the one-year retreatment efficacy and renal safety of entecavir, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) after HBV relapse in patients who discontinued entecavi...

Article
Reciprocity between lymphadenectomy quality and adjuvant chemotherapy compliance in gastric cancer: post hoc analysis of two randomized controlled trials
To investigate the effect of intraoperative lymph node (LN) dissection and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy on the overall survival (OS) of gastric cancer (GC) patients and their reciprocity.
-
Article
Comparison of long-term outcomes after robotic versus laparoscopic radical gastrectomy: a propensity score-matching study
There is insufficient evidence to evaluate the long-term outcomes of robotic radical gastrectomy. The aim of this study was to compare the radical results and long-term outcomes of robotic and laparoscopic rad...

Article
Robotic spleen-preserving total gastrectomy shows better short-term advantages: a comparative study with laparoscopic surgery
Robotic surgery may be advantageous for complex surgery. We aimed to compare the intraoperative and postoperative short-term outcomes of spleen-preserving splenic hilar lymphadenectomy (SPSHL) during robotic a...

Article
A good preoperative immune prognostic index is predictive of better long-term outcomes after laparoscopic gastrectomy compared with open gastrectomy for stage II gastric cancer in elderly patients
It remains inconclusive whether laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) has better long-term outcomes when compared with open gastrectomy (OG) for elderly gastric cancer (EGC). We attempted to explore the influence of t...

Article
Open AccessPotential survival benefits of open over laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients beyond three years after surgery: result from multicenter in-depth analysis based on propensity matching
The oncologic efficacy of laparoscopic versus open surgery for advanced distal gastric cancer (ADGC) beyond 3 years after surgery remain obscure.

Article
A matched cohort study of the failure pattern after laparoscopic and open gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer: does the operative approach matter?
Due to lacking evidence for confirming the efficacy of performing laparoscopic surgery for locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC). Therefore, this study aimed to compare the static and dynamic failure patterns...

Article
Assessment of indocyanine green tracer-guided lymphadenectomy in laparoscopic gastrectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer: results from a multicenter analysis based on propensity matching
This study evaluated the safety, effectiveness, and feasibility of indocyanine green (ICG) tracing in guiding lymph-node (LN) dissection during laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy in patients with advanced gas...

Article
Increased CD44 Expression and MEK Activity Predict Worse Prognosis in Gastric Adenocarcinoma Patients Undergoing Gastrectomy
We have shown that activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)-RAS pathway in gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) promotes acquisition of cancer stem-like cell (CSC) phenotypes including metastasis and chemothera...

Article
Open AccessDynamic Changes in Pre- and Postoperative Levels of Inflammatory Markers and Their Effects on the Prognosis of Patients with Gastric Cancer
Whether the change of the pre- and postoperative systemic inflammatory response (SIR) levels will affect the prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) is unclear. We aimed to investigate the dynamic changes in the pre-...

Does three-dimensional surgery affect recurrence patterns in patients with gastric cancer after laparoscopic R0 gastrectomy? Results from a 3-year follow-up phase III trial
Numerous studies have shown that the short-term efficacy of three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (LG) is comparable to that of two-dimensional (2D)-LG. Whether 3D-LG affects the recurrence p...
