Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the new ypTNM staging system in Chinese gastric cancer patients. We conducted retrospective survival and regression analyses using a database of gastric cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy at the Peking University Cancer Hospital and Institute from January 2007 to January 2015. A total of 473 patients were included in the study with 28 pathological complete response (pCR) cases, 3 ypT0N1 cases, 65 stage I cases, 126 stage II cases, and 251 stage III cases. The pCR cases had similar survival to stage I patients (p > 0.05). The 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates of stage I, II and III patients were significantly different (3-year DFS: 89.0, 75.5, and 39.6%, p < 0.001; 5-year OS: 89.6, 65.5, and 36.5%, p = 0.001). Both ypT and ypN are independent predictors of patient survival, while further log-rank tests showed that the ypN stage is of better prognostic value than ypT. Subgrouping analysis revealed that stage III patients of ypT4b and ypN3 had worse survival compared to the rest of stage III cases (p < 0.001). The c-index values of the ypTNM stage and modified ypTNM stage (stage III divided into IIIa and IIIb) were 0.657 and 0.708, respectively...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.
