Prognostic Utility of the Preoperative Cachexia Index in Patients Undergoing Emergency Laparotomy
Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.The preoperative cachexia index, incorporating muscle mass, nutritional status, and inflammation, predicts in‐hospital and one‐year mortality in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. This simple index may aid in risk stratification and perioperative decision‐making in high‐risk surgical patients. ABSTRACT Aim Emergency laparotomy is associated with

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with arterial abutment is a complex, high‐risk surgery. We aimed to investigate the clinicopathological features, risk factors, and learning curve for local recurrence after pancreatectomy for PDAC with arterial abutment.

Clinical Significance of Copper Chaperone for Superoxide Dismutase in Colorectal Cancer
Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Targeting Cu transport proteins is an innovative therapeutic approach for combating cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying the malignant potential of Cu transport proteins remain largely unknown. To address this issue, we focused on the oncogenic potential of copper chaperones for superoxide dismutase (CCS) in colorectal cancer (

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.This review critically reassesses our prior hypothesis and proposes a revised anatomical model of the fusion fascia that is broadly applicable to GI cancer surgeries grounded in the principles of mesenteric resection. Our synthesis suggests that the fusion fascia is neither a dense connective tissue membrane nor a remnant of mesothelial fusion, but ...

Total Neoadjuvant Therapy for Rectal Cancer: Why Japan Says “Not Yet”
Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Total neoadjuvant therapy (TNT) has rapidly gained global acceptance as a standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Supported by multiple phase III trials, TNT improves pathological complete response (pCR) rates, enhances systemic control, and expands opportunities for non‐operative management (NOM).
