We systematically reviewed conversion therapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and propose a response‐based treatment strategy for cT4b and M1 disease. For cT4b, we emphasize definitive chemoradiotherapy with timed re‐evaluation and selective salvage or chemoselection to surgery; for M1, conversion is reserved for limited‐burden responders with ...

Influence of Hospital and Surgeon Volumes on Clinical Outcomes After Standard Surgery for Advanced Gastric Cancer: Supplementary Analysis of the Multicenter Randomized Phase III Trial JCOG1001

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We have evaluated interinstitutional variation to verify the generalization and standardization of gastric cancer surgery from a supplementary analysis of the randomized phase III trial JCOG1001. Although there was some degree of interinstitutional variation in short‐ and long‐term outcomes after standard gastric surgery, we found no correlation ...

Risk Factors for Anastomotic Stricture and Obstructive Symptoms Following Double‐Flap Technique Reconstruction After Proximal Gastrectomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This retrospective study investigated risk factors for anastomotic stricture and obstructive symptoms following double‐flap technique (DFT) reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy. Mucosal detachment, potentially caused by thermal damage, was identified as a significant risk factor for anastomotic stricture, while continuous suturing at the esophago ...

First Successful Regeneration of a Structurally Native‐Like Colon Using a Bioabsorbable Polymer Sheet

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study demonstrated that a bioabsorbable polymer sheet (BAPS) can regenerate approximately half the circumference of the colon with native‐like structure and function in an experimental setting. As the model involved immediate closure after perforation and did not reproduce peritonitis, caution is required when considering clinical applicability ...
