A Case of Type II Achalasia Occurring in a Nonagenarian Diagnosed with Acute Food Impaction
We report a case of achalasia diagnosed by high-resolution esophageal manometry and timed barium esophagography after food material removal by endoscopy in a 95-year-old woman who visited the hospital due to sudden esophageal food impaction and was successfully treated by endoscopic balloon dilatation.PMID:38268165 | DOI:10.4166/kjg.2023.112 (Source: Korean J Gastroenter...)

Long-term Survivor of Unresectable Pancreatic Cancer Treated with Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy
Korean J Gastroenterol. 2024 Jan 25;83(1):28-32. doi: 10.4166/kjg.2023.140.ABSTRACTUndifferentiated carcinoma of the pancreas (UPC) is a rare, aggressive pancreatic cancer subtype. In addition, there is limited data on optimal management and patients tend to present with unresectable disease. This highlights the need to explore non-surgical treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In 2017, a 40-year-old male was diagnosed with UPC, presenting with a 6 cm mass in the pancreas, encasing the major arteries, indicative of a locally advanced stage. Histopathology confirmed UPC with osteoclast-like giant cells. After n...

A Curious Case of Primary Gastric Mucosal Melanoma
We present the case of a 58-year-old woman with complaints of abdominal pain, loss of appetite and weight. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed a gastric mass and systemic imaging demonstrated widespread nodal and bilateral adrenal gland involvement. Histopathology of the gastric mass confirmed primary malignant mucosal melanoma of the stomach. The patient received three cycles of Nivolumab but did not respond, and thus, was then offered best supportive care. Although infrequent, mucosal melanoma can arise from the gastrointestinal tract, and in contrast to the cutaneous form, advanced disease usually has a dismal prognosis...

Microbiome and Biliary Tract Cancer
Korean J Gastroenterol. 2024 Jan 25;83(1):1-5. doi: 10.4166/kjg.2023.135.ABSTRACTBiliary tract cancers encompass a group of malignancies that affect the bile ducts and gallbladder and are associated with a poor prognosis, often due to late diagnosis and limited treatment options. The incidence of biliary tract cancer has been increasing gradually, underscoring the need for a better understanding of its pathogenesis and potential risk factors. Research suggests that biliary tract cancer may develop through a combination of genetic and epigenetic alterations, as well as environmental factors. The role of microbial exposure a...

Transcription Silencing and CpGs Hypermethylation as Therapeutic Gene Editing in Clinical Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Repression
CONCLUSIONS: miRNA-CGI-methylation led to the regression of Caco2 cell proliferation, suggesting the potential use of RNA silencing and DNA methylation in targeted gene therapy for colorectal cancer.PMID:38268163 | DOI:10.4166/kjg.2023.132 (Source: Korean J Gastroenter...)
