In recent years, natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) in the treatment of colorectal cancer has attracted widespread attention. The potential benefits of NOSES including reduction in postoperative pain and wound complications, less use of postoperative analgesic, faster recovery of bowel function, shorter length of hospital stay, better cosmetic and psychological effect have been described in colorectal surgery. Despite significant decrease in surgical trauma of NOSES have been observed, the potential pitfalls of this technique have been demonstrated. Read More

Introduction: Platinum-based chemotherapy remains standard-of-care for gastric and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. For locally advanced resectable disease, perioperative treatment with cisplatin-based doublet or triplet chemotherapy regimens had been the predominant approach in Europe and the US, based on pivotal phase III trials including the MAGIC study. Results from more recent landmark studies including the German FLOT4 and the Asian CLASSIC trials have, however, triggered a shift from cisplatin towards oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy protocols in the perioperative setting.

Accurate preoperative staging of gastric cancer and the assessment of tumor response to neoadjuvant treatment is of importance for treatment and prognosis. Current imaging techniques, mainly endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), computed tomography (CT) and F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG PET), have their limitations. Historically, the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in gastric cancer has been limited, but with the continuous technical improvements, MRI has become a more potent imaging technique for gastrointestinal malignancies.

Cisplatin induces anorexia, weight loss, loss of adipose tissue, skeletal muscle atrophy, and serious adverse effects that can cause premature termination of chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to use an animal model to assess cisplatin therapy (3 cycles) with and without d-methionine to investigate its protective effects on cisplatin-induced anorexia and skeletal muscle wasting. Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups and treated as follows: saline as control (group 1), intraperitoneal cisplatin once a week for 3 weeks (group 2), and intraperitoneal cisplatin once a week for 3 weeks plus oral administration of d-methionine (group 3).

Accumulating evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a key role in the development of many human cancers. MT1JP is a lncRNA that is reportedly involved in gastric cancer development, but a biological role and mechanism for MT1JP in breast cancer is unknown. Here, we found that MT1JP expression was significantly down-regulated in breast cancer tissues and cell lines, and that decreased MT1JP expression was associated with breast cancer progression and poor survival of breast cancer patients.
