Relative dose intensity and 1-year psoas muscle index reduction rate as prognostic factors in gastric cancer patients with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy
Higher relative dose intensity (RDI) of chemotherapy improves the clinical outcomes of various cancers. The psoas muscle index (PMI) is related to sarcopenia, and patients with low PMI have worse prognoses. Ho...

Dismal prognosis of elderly gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 3
Although the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score of 3 is relatively common in elderly patients, there have been few debates on the indications for gastrectomy in elderly gastric cancer (GC) patie...

Impact of loss of skeletal muscle mass within 6–12 months after gastrectomy and S1 adjuvant chemotherapy on the survival prognosis of elderly patients with gastric cancer
We investigated the impact of postoperative changes in the psoas muscle mass index (PMI) after gastrectomy and S1 adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) on the long-term outcomes of elderly patients with gastric cancer.

Article
A survey of the clinical outcomes of cervical esophageal carcinoma surgery focusing on the presence or absence of laryngectomy using the National Clinical Database in Japan
One upside of cervical esophageal carcinoma is that radical surgery can be performed by laryngectomy, even for tumors with tracheal invasion. However, this approach drastically reduces the quality of life, suc...

Linear stapler anastomosis for esophagogastrostomy in laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy reduce reflux esophagitis
There are various reconstruction methods for Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG), such as esophagogastrostomy (EG), double-tract reconstruction, and jejunal interposition. We have performed EG using a circ...
