Abstract

We did a retrospective study to assess the influence of age on the prognosis in 1,537 patients with gastric cancer and who underwent gastrectomy. The patients were classified into 7 groups by age at the time of surgery, and the relative survival rates were calculated after correcting for each patient's sex, age, and the operative calendar year, based on the life table data for the general Japanese population. The overall prognoses in patients under age 30 and over age 80 years were poor (for ages under 30 years, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and over 80 years, the 5-year survival rates were 32.1%, 55.9%, 54.8%, 54.3%, 48.6%, 50.8%, and 31.5%, respectively). The poor prognoses in the youngest patients could be attributed to a high frequency of aggressive stage of the tumor. After curative gastrectomy, although the prognoses were excellent for every category in the first and second postoperative year, patients over age 80 years had a relatively poor prognosis after the third postoperative check-up. The poor prognoses in the oldest patients were attributed to the number of deaths due to other diseases. We conclude that for the very young or old subjects, age is a significant prognostic factor for those treated by gastrectomy ...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.
