Peritoneal Washing Cytology Positivity in Gastric Cancer: Role of Lymph Node Metastasis as a Risk Factor
CONCLUSIONS: Lymph node metastasis significantly affects CY(+) outcomes, particularly when the tumor is located on the PW side. Therefore, PWC should be considered not only in suspected serosal exposure cases but also in cases of lymph node metastasis.PMID:38575511 | PMC:PMC10995825 | DOI:10.5230/jgc.2024.24.e14 (Source: Journal of Gastric Cancer)

Comparison of the Prognosis of Upper-Third Gastric Cancer With That of Middle and Lower-Third Gastric Cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Upper-third gastric cancer shows extensive node metastasis compared to those located more distally in ≥T3 tumors. The upper third location is an independent prognostic factor for both OS and RFS and may have an adverse impact on RFS, particularly in patients with stage III gastric cancer.PMID:38575509 | PMC:PMC10995826 | DOI:10.5230/jgc.2024.24.e3 (Source: Journal of Gastric Cancer)

Comparing Pre- and Post-Operative Findings in Patients Who Underwent Laparoscopic Proximal Gastrectomy With a Double-Flap Technique: A Study on High-Resolution Manometry, Impedance pH Monitoring, and Esophagogastroduodenoscopy Findings
CONCLUSIONS: There is no significant functional difference in HRM and impedance pH monitoring tests after DFT. DFT appears to be useful in preserving LES function following proximal gastrectomy.PMID:38575507 | PMC:PMC10995827 | DOI:10.5230/jgc.2024.24.e1 (Source: Journal of Gastric Cancer)

Precise highlighting of the pancreas by semantic segmentation during robot-assisted gastrectomy: visual assistance with artificial intelligence for surgeons
ConclusionsOur surgical AI system precisely highlighted the pancreas during robot-assisted gastrectomy at a level that was convincing to surgeons. This technology may prevent misrecognition of the pancreas by surgeons, thus leading to fewer POPFs. (Source: Gastric Cancer)

Splenectomy versus splenic preservation in total gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing survival benefits and short-term complications
CONCLUSION: Despite the lack of significant differences in certain individual complications and postoperative mortality, the broader pattern of our data suggests that SP is associated with a greater overall frequency of postoperative complications, without providing additional survival benefits compared to splenic preservation. Thus, the routine implementation of SP is not advocated.PMID:38567398 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2024.2333233 (Source: Postgraduate Medicine)

Predicting survival in locally advanced gastric cancer using prognostic factors - neoadjuvant rectal score and downstaging depth score
CONCLUSION: In summary, our research indicates that NAR score and DDS may serve as useful prognostic markers for predicting overall survival in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by curative surgery. Patients with high DDS and low NAR scores were found to have better prognoses.PMID:38568130 (Source: South African Journal of Surgery)

Does routine upper gastrointestinal swallow study after metabolic and bariatric surgery lead to earlier diagnosis of leak?
CONCLUSIONS: Routine SS was not associated with earlier diagnosis of leaks compared to the absence of routine SS. Surgeons should consider abandoning the practice of routine SS for the purpose of obtaining earlier diagnosis of postoperative leaks.PMID:38570283 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2024.02.005 (Source: Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery)
