A phase II study of neoadjuvant capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan (XELOXIRI) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 81-90, January 2023., 2023
XELOXIRI neoadjuvant chemotherapy appears to be feasible and efficacious for patients with LARC. Although neoadjuvant XELOXIRI alone did not yield our expected pCR rate, the local recurrence rate, 3‐year DFS and measures of safety met current standards.

Tumor budding may be a promising prognostic indicator in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: A multicenter retrospective study

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 138-146, January 2023., 2023
High tumor budding is a new candidate for an additional determinant of the T category in staging ICC. An LCSGJ staging system containing an additional evaluation of tumor budding may lead to improved staging accuracy. Abstract Purpose This retrospective study evaluated our hypothesis that high tumor budding (≥10 buds) may help determine the appropriate

The role of antigen-competitive dynamics in regulating the immune response [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of Mathematical Biology, 83(5): 40 (2021), 2021
The clonal expansion of T cells during an infection is tightly regulated to ensure an appropriate immune response against invading pathogens. Although experiments have mapped the trajectory from expansion to contraction, the interplay between mechanisms that control this response are not fully understood.

Prognostic factors in conversion surgery following nab‐paclitaxel with gemcitabine and subsequent chemoradiotherapy for unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer: Results of a dual‐center study

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 157-166, January 2023., 2023
For radical surgery after induction gemcitabine along with nab‐paclitaxel and subsequent chemoradiotherapy for unresectable locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, CA19‐9 normalization and maintenance of good nutritional status during treatment until surgery were important for prolonged prognosis.

Do postoperative infectious complications really affect long‐term survival in colorectal cancer surgery? A multicenter retrospective cohort study

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 110-120, January 2023., 2023
This multicenter retrospective cohort study suggested that postoperative infection (PI) after curative colorectal surgery (CRC) is associated with impaired oncological outcomes. Strategies to prevent PI and implement appropriate postoperative treatment may improve the quality of care and oncological outcomes in patients undergoing curative CRC surgery.

Prognostic significance of tumor size of small lung adenocarcinomas evaluated with mediastinal window settings on computed tomography. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND:We aimed to clarify that the size of the lung adenocarcinoma evaluated using mediastinal window on computed tomography is an important and useful modality for predicting invasiveness, lymph node metastasis and prognosis in small adenocarcinoma.
