Week 2 Symptomatic Response with Vedolizumab as a Predictive Factor in Japanese Anti-TNF α-Naive Patients with Ulcerative Colitis: A post hoc Analysis of a Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Phase 3 Trial
Conclusions: Our results indicate that vedolizumab induces a rapid symptomatic response, particularly in anti-TNF α-naive patients, and suggest that early symptomatic improvement predicts treatment response at Week 10 (NCT02039505).Digestion (Source: Digestion)

S100P Expression via DNA Hypomethylation Promotes Cell Growth in the Sessile Serrated Adenoma/Polyp-Cancer Sequence
Conclusion: These results suggest that DNA hypomethylation, including S100P hypomethylation, is supposedly associated with the SSA/P-cancer sequence. S100P overexpression via DNA hypomethylation plays an important role in promoting cell growth in the SSA/P-cancer sequence.Digestion (Source: Digestion)

Clinicopathological and Endoscopic Features of Raspberry-Shaped Gastric Cancer in < b > < i > Helicobacter pylori < /i > < /b > -Uninfected Patients
Background: Gastric adenocarcinoma of foveolar type (GA-FV) is a raspberry-shaped gastric cancer (RSGC) and garners much attention asH. pylori (Hp)-uninfected gastric cancer. However, the classification and clinicopathological and endoscopic features of RSGCs inHp-uninfected patients are poorly defined. We designed a new histopathological classification of RSGC and compared them via endoscopic and clinicopathological characteristics.Summary: From 996 patients with early gastric cancers resected by endoscopy in our hospital, we studied 24 RSGC lesions from 21 (2.4%)Hp-uninfected patients. RSGCs were classified into 3 histol...

Near-Infrared Photoimmunotherapy for Cancers of the Gastrointestinal Tract
Background: Cancers of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are the common leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. Recent advances in cancer therapies such as intensive multidrug chemotherapy and molecular targeted treatment have improved therapeutic efficacy; however, the outcomes are not satisfied. Moreover, these therapies also cause severe side effects. New type of cancer therapies is urgently needed to improve the outcomes and to reduce side effects of GI tract cancers.Summary: This account is a comprehensive review article on the newly developed, photochemistry-based cancer therapy named as near-infrared photo...
