A network approach to quantifying radiotherapy effect on cancer: Radiosensitive gene group centrality [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Radiotherapy plays a vital role in cancer treatment, for which accurate prognosis is important for guiding sequential treatment and improving the curative effect for patients. An issue of great significance in radiotherapy is to assess tumor radiosensitivity for devising the optimal treatment strategy.

Cost‐effectiveness analysis of postoperative surveillance for stage IV colorectal cancer in Japan: An economic modeling study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This economic evaluation used a Markov state‐transition model to analyze the cost‐effectiveness of surveillance strategies recommended by various academic societies. This study found that the surveillance program proposed by the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum (JSCCR) was the most cost‐effective, with an incremental cost ...

Promoter Methylation of DNA Repair Genes Predicts Disease-free Survival of Gastric Adenocarcinoma after Adjuvant Radiotherapy

Molecular Therapy: Oncolytics, 2020
The relentless debate on postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy in gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) has been lasting for decades. In this study, a new biomarker, named promoter methylation burden of DNA repair genes (RPMB), was established to identify the ...

The impact of delayed adjuvant chemotherapy on survival in gastric cancer patients with and without preoperative chemotherapy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Delayed initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) is associated with significantly poorer postoperative survival in patients with gastric cancer, irrespective of whether preoperative chemotherapy was administered. These findings emphasize the importance of timely AC initiation to improve long‐term outcomes in this patient population.

Prognostic factors for patients with esophageal cancer who achieve pathological complete response in the primary tumor after upfront chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Male gender and pathological lymph node metastasis are independent poor prognostic factors in patients with esophageal cancer who receive upfront treatment followed by surgery and achieved pathological complete response of the primary tumor. Among patients without pathological lymph node metastasis, the upfront chemotherapy group showed significantly ...

Impact of primary tumor clinicopathological factors on prognosis after hepatic resection for rectal liver metastases

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This retrospective study evaluates the prognostic factors in patients undergoing curative hepatic resection for rectal cancer liver metastases. It identifies lateral lymph node metastasis and perineural invasion as significant prognostic factors. Moreover, patients with these factors required nonsurgical treatment in the early postoperative period ...
