Abstract

Removal of the primary lesion with a clear operative margin is the standard treatment for gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) of the stomach. However, there are few reports on the operative indications for relatively small GIST. Clinicopathologic features and survival data of all 60 patients with GIST of the stomach treated at Keio University Hospital from 1993 to 2004 were analyzed. Laparoscopic wedge resection was used as the primary procedure for tumors between 2 to 5 cm. Tumors larger than 5 cm were resected by laparotomy or laparoscopy-assisted operation. Thirty-five lesions (58.3%) were resected by laparoscopic wedge resection, 3 by laparoscopic operation with a small skin incision and 22 by conventional open procedures. The mean size of the tumors was 42.5 mm, with a range of 18 to 150 mm and a median value of 35.5 mm. All operative margins were clear, but 1 patient had liver metastases at the time of resection of the primary lesion. The median follow-up period was 53 months and the 5-year disease-free survival rate (DFS) was 96.1%. No local recurrence or distant metastasis was encountered in patients with tumors smaller than 4 cm. A statistically significant correlation was observed between tumor size and mitotic coun...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.
