Abstract

In The Netherlands, standardised limited D1 and extended D2 lymph node dissections in the treatment of resectable gastric cancer were introduced nationwide within the framework of the Dutch D1-D2 Gastric Cancer Trial between 1989 and 1993. In a population-based study, we evaluated whether the survival of patients with resectable gastric cancer improved over time on a regional level. We compared 5-year overall and relative survival of patients with curatively resected non-cardia gastric cancer in the regional cancer registry of the Comprehensive Cancer Centre West in The Netherlands before the Dutch D1-D2 trial (1986 to mid 1989; n = 273), during the trial period (mid 1989 to mid 1993; n = 255), and after the trial (mid 1993 to 1999; n = 219), adjusting for prognostic variables. Unadjusted survival was highest in the post-trial period: 5-year overall and relative survival were 42% and 52%, respectively, compared to 34% and 41% in the pre-trial period, and 39% and 46% in the trial period (p = 0.31 and p = 0.06, respectively). After adjustment for age, gender, tumour site, pT-stage, nodal status and hospital volume, the effect of period on survival was more apparent (p = 0.009). Compared to the pre-trial period, the hazard ratio w...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
