Patients who undergo gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC) are likely to have nutritional difficulty after surgery. Readmission due is common in such patients. Thus, this study, we aim identify the predictive indicators readmission patients underwent GC.
The standard procedure for remnant gastric cancer after esophago-proximal gastrectomy is total resection of the stomach considering blood supply.However, sometimes surgery may be too invasive due to severe adhesion in thoracic and mediastinal cavity.The supply depends on right gastroepiploic artery artery.Therefore, preservation proximal region thought anatomically impossible.We report a case that developed more than 12 years lower esophagectomy plus Siewert Type I squamous cell carcinoma.We...
Abstract Background We retrospectively examined the relationship among skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), prognosis, and chemotherapy side effects in patients with recurrent gastric cancer (RGC). Methods Sixty-seven who developed recurrence after undergoing curative gastrectomy for at Tottori University Hospital received palliative were included this study. Pretreatment computed tomography was performed to measure (SMM) cross-sectional SMM third lumbar vertebra. focused on haematologic...
Immune-check point inhibitors (ICPIs) for treatment of cancer patients sometimes induce potentially life-threatening immune-related adverse events (irAEs), which predict ICPIs efficacy. Prediction irAEs would be useful management and prediction This study aimed to determine predictors in with recurrent or unresectable advanced gastric (RUGC) treated nivolumab.Seventy-eight RUGC nivolumab at nine institutions between January 2017 April 2020 were included this study. The usefulness specific...
Thoracoscopic esophagectomy has been extensively used worldwide as a curative surgery for patients with esophageal cancer; however, complications such anastomotic leakage and stenosis remain major concern. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate efficacy circular stapling anastomosis indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging, which standardized cervical esophagogastric after thoracoscopic esophagectomy.Altogether, 121 cancer who underwent radical lymph node dissection from...
Background Esophagectomy is an invasive and complication-prone surgical procedure. Therefore, a tool that can predict the occurrence of postoperative complications may be useful for perioperative management. In this study, we investigated whether modified frailty index (mFI) could predicting esophagectomy.
Background/Aim: M1 macrophages have antitumour effects, while M2 promote tumour proliferation and invasion. The clinical significance of the M2-specific marker CD204 has not been elucidated in colorectal cancer (CRC). We investigated prognostic CD204- CD68-positivity specimens from patients with CRC examined effects polarized-macrophages on proliferative invasive potentials cell lines vitro. Materials Methods: Surgical 206 Stage II III were by immunohistochemistry. Proliferation invasion...
There have been two reports on preserving the proximal gastric tube by using intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG)-based photodynamic detection to evaluate blood flow through anastomosis for cancer after esophagectomy. However, in those cases, period since first operation was > 3 years 11 months, and there no of cases with < 1-year periods operation.A 59-year-old man underwent video-assisted thoracic subtotal esophagectomy reconstruction courses preoperative chemotherapy middle esophageal...
