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 ...

Efficacy of prophylactic splenectomy for proximal advanced gastric cancer invading greater curvature

World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2017
Background For proximal gastric cancer invading the greater curvature, concomitant splenectomy is frequently performed to secure the clearance of lymph node metastases. However, prognostic impact of prophylactic splenectomy remains unclear.

Short‐ and Long‐Term Outcomes of Subtotal Gastrectomy for Remnant Gastric Cancer: A Multicenter Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This multicenter study compared subtotal versus completion gastrectomy for remnant gastric cancer. Subtotal gastrectomy was associated with shorter operative time and significantly less postoperative weight loss, with no difference in long‐term survival, suggesting it as a feasible surgical option without compromising oncologic outcomes.

Platelet phenotype and function in the absence of splenic sequestration (Review)

Platelets, 2021
The spleen, in addition to its role in immunity, plays key roles in erythrocyte maintenance and platelet sequestration. Loss of the spleen via splenectomy occurs in approximately 6.4 to 7.1 per 100 000 people per year globally, commonly as a life-saving ...
