Postoperative Impact of Anti‐Inflammatory Drug on Cancer Recurrence in Patients With Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer After Curative Gastrectomy: A Pilot Retrospective Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Anti‐inflammatory drugs may be effective in improving recurrence‐free survival after radical gastrectomy in patients with pStage II or III gastric cancer. ABSTRACT Background Elevated postoperative inflammation is associated with reduced recurrence‐free survival (RFS) after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer, independent of postoperative ...

Risk Factors for Body Weight Loss After Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer Analyzed From the JCOG1001 Phase III Trial

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the factors associated with BWL after gastrectomy using data from the phase III trial (JCOG1001). Methods This post hoc analysis included 728 patients from the JCOG1001. The percentage of BWL (%BWL) was defined as the proportion of decrease in body weight immediately before adjuvant chemotherapy initiation compared with that

Prospective Feasibility Study of Laparoscopic and Robotic Distal Gastrectomy for Advanced Gastric Cancer to Verify the Safety of Surgical Proximal Margins

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ensuring an adequate surgical proximal margin (SPM) is crucial in radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. However, the lack of tactile feedback in laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) and robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) poses challenges in precisely determining tumor boundaries, particularly in advanced gastric cancer, where tumor ...

Protein S Enhances the Phagocytosis of Phosphatidylserine‐Exposing Erythrocytes: Implications in Sickle Cell Disease

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The major anticoagulant Protein S (PROS1) also contributes to the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by bridging exposed phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) to the MerTK receptor on macrophages (efferocytosis). Whether PROS1 is involved in the splenic clearance of PtdSer‐positive senescent and altered erythrocytes such as erythrocyte ghosts (eryghosts ...
