Janus kinase 2 inhibition by pacritinib as potential therapeutic target for liver fibrosis

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Diagram of the activation of the profibrotic and procontractile Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/Ras homolog family member A/Rho‐kinase pathway and the inhibition of phosphorylated JAK2 by pacritinib to inhibit hepatic stellate cell activity. Abstract Background and Aims Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling is increased in human and experimental liver fibrosis with ...

Unexpectedly High Incidence of Immune‐Related Adverse Events in Gastric Cancer Patients Who Received Conversion Surgery After Nivolumab‐Including Chemotherapy

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nivolumab‐including chemotherapy (nivo‐CTX) for stage IV gastric cancer (GC) may increase the chance of conversion surgery but risk of immune‐related adverse events (irAEs) during perioperative period remains unclear. Methods We examined irAEs in 36 patients with marginally resectable GC who received nivo‐CTX followed by surgery ...

Conversion Therapy for cT4b and M1 Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Comprehensive Systematic Review

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
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 ...

Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Cooperative Surgery for Gastric Cancer as an Alternative Treatment in Elderly Patients: A Prospective Observational Study

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In a prospective study of 20 elderly gastric cancer patients who declined gastrectomy, laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) was technically safe and preserved postoperative function. However, as oncological curability cannot be assured in advanced cases, careful selection and informed consent are essential.

Impact of Circular Stapler Size on Short‐Term Outcomes and Long‐Term Quality of Life After McKeown Esophagectomy

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigated the impact of circular stapler size on both short‐term outcomes and long‐term QOL after McKeown esophagectomy. We revealed that short‐term outcomes, including anastomotic leakage and stenosis, did not differ between patients who underwent anastomosis with a 21 mm stapler and those with a 23 mm stapler.

Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer: Current Evidence and Future Perspectives

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Esophageal cancer is a highly aggressive malignancy with regional variations in histological subtypes. Adenocarcinoma predominates in Western countries, whereas squamous cell carcinoma is more common in Asia. Despite advances in multimodal therapy, esophagectomy remains the cornerstone of curative treatment, and the development of various ...

Prognostic Impact of Immunoscore in Pathological Stage III Differentiated Gastric Cancer: A Multicenter Cohort Study Including PD‐L1/PD‐L2 Expression Analysis

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We assessed the prognostic ability of the Immunoscore and PD‐L1 or PD‐L2 expression in pStage III GC patients by immunohistochemistry. The results showed that Immunoscore was an independent prognostic factor in differentiated GC, but not in undifferentiated GC.
