Abstract

To clarify the pathologic stages of adenocarcinoma of the gastric cardia in which the prognosis is worse than in adenocarcinoma of the middle or distal part of the stomach, and to determine prognostic factors in these stages by multivariate analysis. We analyzed 2,536 cases of surgically resected gastric adenocarcinoma of all pathologic stages. Four hundred seventy-two cases of gastric carcinoma, in which cumulative survival of gastric cardia was poor, were subjected to Cox regression analysis for prognostic factors, and to logistic regression analysis for factors influencing venous or lymphatic invasion. The prognosis of adenocarcinoma of the gastric cardia was inferior when compared with similarly staged carcinomas of the middle or lower part of the stomach when there was invasion of proper muscle layer or subserosal layer, with no lymph node metastasis or with only adjacent (group 1) lymph nodes metastases (T2N0 or T2N1, according to the Japanese classification). In these stages, the prognostic factors were age, histologic type, venous invasion, and location of the tumor in the upper part of the stomach. Tumor location in the upper stomach was also a predictor for the presence of venous invasion. The prognosis of adenocarcin...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.
