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 | 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 | DOI:10.5230/jgc.2024.24.e1 (Source: Journal of Gastric Cancer)

Effect of intraoperative dexmedetomidine on recovery of gastrointestinal function after caesarean section undergoing spinal and epidural anesthesia: A randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial
CONCLUSION: Intraoperative dexmedetomidine infusion reduces the time to first flatus, the incidence of abdominal distension, and shortens the length of hospital stay, promoting gastrointestinal function after cesarean section.PMID:38574697 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.03.038 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Role of Recurrence Pattern Multiplicity in Predicting Post-recurrence Survival in Patients Who Underwent Curative Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Regardless of the specific recurrence pattern, multiple recurrence patterns emerged as independent prognostic factors for poor PRS compared with a single recurrence pattern.PMID:38575515 | PMC:PMC10995828 | DOI:10.5230/jgc.2024.24.e18 (Source: Journal of Gastric Cancer)

Clinical Impact of Polyglycolic Acid Mesh to Reduce Pancreas-Related Complications After Minimally Invasive Surgery for Gastric Cancer: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The use of PGA mesh significantly reduced pancreas-related complications after minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer and might thus benefit patients at risk of such complications.PMID:38575514 | PMC:PMC10995823 | DOI:10.5230/jgc.2024.24.e17 (Source: Journal of Gastric Cancer)

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)
