Oxyntic gland neoplasm (OGN) is a rare condition that can be classified as oxyntic gland adenoma (OGA) or gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic-gland type (GA-FG). GA-FG primarily presents as early gastric cancer, with only a few reported cases of advanced gastric cancer (AGC). We aimed to investigate the clinicopathological features of OGN and describe an aggressive variant.

This study aimed to evaluate the long-term prognosis of patients with gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, including overall survival (OS), remission, and factors associated with an aggressive disease course.

Trop family proteins, including epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) and Trop-2, have garnered attention as potential therapeutic and diagnostic targets for various malignancies. This study aimed to elucidate the clinicopathological significance of these proteins in gastric carcinoma (GC) and to reinforce their potential as biomarkers for patient stratification in targeted therapies.

This study aims to explore the relationship between soy food consumption and gastric cancer (GC) risk, accounting for infection status.

This study aimed to develop and assess the feasibility and effectiveness of digital therapeutics for supportive care after gastrectomy.

Although laparoscopic distal gastrectomy has rapidly replaced open distal gastrectomy, laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) is less frequently performed owing to technical difficulties. Robotic surgery could be an appropriate minimally invasive alternative to LTG because it alleviates the technical challenges posed by laparoscopic procedures. However, few studies have compared the oncological safety of robotic total gastrectomy (RTG) with that of LTG, especially for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Herein, we aimed to assess the oncological outcomes of RTG for AGC and compare them with those of LTG.

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the standard treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC) with a low risk of lymph node metastasis. In Korea, ESD was included in the National Health Insurance (NHI) coverage in 2011, which was expanded in 2018. In the present study, we investigated the status and trends of ESD for EGC over the past decade since its incorporation into the NHI system.

The usability of a new surgical navigation system that provides patient-specific vascular information for robotic gastrectomy in gastric cancer remains unexplored for laparoscopic gastrectomy owing to differences in surgical environments. This study aimed to evaluate the applicability and safety of this navigation system in laparoscopic gastrectomy and to compare the post-operative outcomes between procedures with and without its use.

Foveolar-type adenocarcinoma of the stomach is a rare variant of gastric cancer. The clinicopathological features and outcomes of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for gastric foveolar-type adenocarcinoma remain unclear.

We conducted a randomized prospective trial (KLASS-07 trial) to compare laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) and totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) for gastric cancer. In this interim report, we describe short-term results in terms of morbidity and mortality.

Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) presents a major challenge in the treatment of late-stage, solid tumors, with traditional therapies limited by poor drug penetration. We evaluated a novel hyperthermic pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (HPIPAC) system using a human abdominal cavity model for its efficacy against AGS gastric cancer cells.

Despite annual endoscopy, patients with metachronous remnant gastric cancer (MRGC) following proximal gastrectomy (PG) are at times ineligible for endoscopic resection (ER). This study aimed to clarify the clinical risk factors for ER inapplicability.

The optimal treatment for gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJA) remains controversial. We evaluated the treatment patterns and outcomes of patients with locally advanced GEJA according to the histological type.

Gastric cancer treated with curative resection exhibits several recurrence patterns. The peritoneum is the most common site of recurrence. Some reports have indicated different prognostic influences according to the recurrence sites in other cancers, such as esophageal and colorectal cancers. This study investigated whether the recurrence sites influenced the prognosis of patients with recurrent gastric cancer.

Gastric cancer (GC) is among the deadliest malignancies and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is a primary protein secreted by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs); however, its role and mechanisms of action of Gal-1 in GC remain unclear. In this study, we stimulated GC cells with exogenous human recombinant galectin-1 protein (rhGal-1) to investigate its effects on the proliferation, migration, and resistance to cisplatin.

This study was performed to assess the lifestyle-related behaviors of patients with gastric cancer (GC) and to investigate the associations between the time since GC diagnosis and these behaviors.

Results of initial endoscopic biopsy of gastric lesions often differ from those of the final pathological diagnosis. We evaluated whether an artificial intelligence-based gastric lesion detection and diagnostic system, ENdoscopy as AI-powered Device Computer Aided Diagnosis for Gastroscopy (ENAD CAD-G), could reduce this discrepancy.

Textbook outcome is a comprehensive measure used to assess surgical quality and is increasingly being recognized as a valuable evaluation tool. Delta-shaped anastomosis (DA), an intracorporeal gastroduodenostomy, is a viable option for minimally invasive distal gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer. This study aims to evaluate the surgical outcomes and calculate the textbook outcome of DA.
