Development of an Interpretable Deep Learning Model for Pathological Tumor Response Assessment After Neoadjuvant Therapy
CONCLUSION: This work illustrates deep learning's potential for assisting pathological response assessment. Spatial heatmaps and patch examples provide intuitive explanations of model predictions, engendering clinical trust and adoption (Code and data will be available at https://github.com/WinnieLaugh/ESCC_Percentage once the paper has been conditionally accepted). Integrating interpretable computational pathology could help enhance the efficiency and consistency of tumor response assessment and empower precise oncology treatment decisions.PMID:38632527 | PMC:PMC11022344 | DOI:10.1186/s12575-024-00234-5 (Source: Biological Procedures Online)

Trends in mortality from gastrointestinal, hepatic, and pancreatic cancers in the United States: A comprehensive analysis (1999-2020)
CONCLUSION: While overall gastrointestinal cancer-related mortality declined significantly in the United States from 1999 to 2020, mortality from some cancers increased. Furthermore, differences between sexes and racial groups underscore crucial differences in gastrointestinal cancer mortality, highlighting areas for future research.PMID:38623490 | PMC:PMC11017855 | DOI:10.1002/jgh3.13064 (Source: Cancer Control)

Reniformin A suppresses non-small cell lung cancer progression by inducing TLR4/NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD-dependent pyroptosis
In conclusion, we propose that RA has a significant anticancer effect in NSCLC by inducing TLR4/NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis, which may provide a potential strategy for the treatment of NSCLC.PMID:38626545 | DOI:10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112068 (Source: International Immunopharmacology)

MicroRNAs: A novel signature in the metastasis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 21;30(11):1497-1523. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i11.1497.ABSTRACTEsophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a malignant epithelial tumor, characterized by squamous cell differentiation, it is the sixth leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. The increased mortality rate of ESCC patients is predominantly due to the advanced stage of the disease when discovered, coupled with higher risk of metastasis, which is an exceedingly malignant characteristic of cancer, frequently leading to a high mortality rate. Unfortunately, there is currently no specific and effective marker to predict and tre...

Effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy < em > vs < /em > chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of esophageal adenocarcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Although nCRT may have a higher pCR rate, it does not translate to greater long-term survival. Moreover, nCRT is associated with higher 30-d mortality, although the specific cause for postoperative complications could not be identified. In the case of nCT, toxic side effects are suspected, which can reduce the quality of life. Given the quality of available studies, further randomized trials are required.PMID:38617451 | PMC:PMC11008422 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i11.1621 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology)

Advancements in Barrett's esophagus detection: The role of artificial intelligence and its implications
World J Gastroenterol. 2024 Mar 21;30(11):1494-1496. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i11.1494.ABSTRACTArtificial intelligence (AI) is making significant strides in revolutionizing the detection of Barrett's esophagus (BE), a precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma. In the research article by Tsai et al, researchers utilized endoscopic images to train an AI model, challenging the traditional distinction between endoscopic and histological BE. This approach yielded remarkable results, with the AI system achieving an accuracy of 94.37%, sensitivity of 94.29%, and specificity of 94.44%. The study's extensive dataset enhances the AI model'...

Myocardial metastasis from ZEB1- and TWIST-positive spindle cell carcinoma of the esophagus: A case report
CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, there have been no prior reports of cardiac metastasis of esophageal SCC. This case highlights our experience with a patient with esophageal SCC who progressed rapidly and died from the disease, with the autopsy examination showing cardiac metastasis.PMID:38617457 | PMC:PMC11008411 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i11.1636 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology)
