Biomarker-oriented chemo-immunotherapy for advanced gastric cancer
Int J Clin Oncol. 2024 Apr 22. doi: 10.1007/s10147-024-02525-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe biomarker-oriented chemo-immunotherapy is useful and promising in the development of new anticancer agents, since the responders can be enriched by selecting patients with biomarkers. Compared to colorectal and lung cancers, the development of biomarker-driven molecular-targeted therapeutics for gastric cancers has been straggled. However, several new biomarkers in gastric cancers have been discovered and clinical trials in enrichment design with certain biomarkers have been conducted. Therefore, there are currently several tr...

Family history and gastric cancer incidence and mortality in Asia: a pooled analysis of more than half a million participants
CONCLUSIONS: In this largest prospective study to date on family history and gastric cancer, a familial background of gastric cancer increased the risk of gastric cancer in the Asian population. Targeted education, screening, and intervention in these high-risk groups may reduce the burden of gastric cancer.PMID:38649672 | DOI:10.1007/s10120-024-01499-1 (Source: Cancer Control)

Impact of Geospatial Food Access on Acute Pancreatitis Outcomes
ConclusionLow food access had a significant association with 30-day AP-related readmissions and AP severity. However, mortality and LOS lacked significant association with food access. The association between nutrition, lifestyle, and AP outcomes warrants further prospective investigation. (Source: Digestive Diseases and Sciences)

Management of malignant Gastric Outlet Obstruction (mGOO) due to pancreatic cancer in the era of EUS-Gastrojejunostomy: an international practice survey and case vignette study by Pancreas 2000 from the European Pancreatic Club
ConclusionsThis survey revealed significant differences in the management of mGOO, depending on specialties, local expertise and treatment volume, suggesting the lack of standardized algorithms. Life expectancy and patients ’ frailty are the main decision drivers. Regarding EUS-GJ, its availability remains suboptimal, with learning curve as the main perceived barrier.
