Purpose In total gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y reconstruction with esophagojejunal anastomosis has been widely used in gastrointestinal reconstruction. In the case of anastomotic leakage of RY reconstruction, esophagojejunal anastomosis should be paid attention, and esophageal fragility is considered the reason for the leakage. Here, we introduce an atrau...

... We herein explored fCAFs-associated genes (fCAFGs) representing close association with the LRRC15 expression (R = 0.9 or beyond) in GSE35602 according to expression amounts (140 green color gene probes, Table S1). Among the previously identified 115 SPARC-associated CAFGs [17], 54 genes were shared with LRRC15-redefined fCAFGs ( Table 1). For example, ACTA2 and ITGA11 were removed from IRRC15-redefined fCAFG (blank box, Figure 1a) due to a low R index below 0.9 with LRRC15 (R = 0.89 and 0.88, respectively), whereas a well-known PDAC CAFs marker, FAP [25][26][27], was closely associated with IRRC15 (inlet figure of Figure 1a, R = 0.98). ...
... The median length of the resected esophagus during lower-esophagogastrectomy was 40 mm. In terms of postoperative complications, three (15%) patients developed grade II intra-abdominal uid correction according to the Clavien-Dindo classi cation [11]. However, none of the patients presented with grade III or higher complications or anastomotic leakage. ...
... For patients with increased TPS over 11.8 mm, careful pancreatic manipulation is required. When performing the pancreas-contactless technique, the operator themself should gently perform the minimal number of necessary pancreatic compressions instead of an assistant to pay more awareness to the procedure [41]. ...
... In Japan, the current indication for LECS is gastrointestinal stromal cell tumors (GIST) with a size of 2-5 cm. LECS has also been described in two case reports as palliative treatment for patients with AGC without being in a state to undergo gastrectomy (12)(13). To the best of our knowledge, no prospective trial has studied LECS for this indication. ...
... In our previous studies, we have confirmed that complete PAC (≥ 6 cycles) could cancel out the adverse influence of a low prognostic nutritional index, low BMI, peri-operative blood transfusion and/or infections on survival in stage II or III GC patients [15][16][17]. Given that PAC could impact recurrence patterns and modify the predictive factors for survival in GC patients [22][23], we must cite the previous conclusions with caution and a new nomogram was clearly needed in patients treated incompletely with PAC. ...
... The deficiency of the cysteine dioxygenase 1 (CDO1) expression has been reported in lung [1], endometrial [2], breast [3], prostate [4], clear-cell renal cell [5], and gastrointestinal [6] cancers to date, and this aberration correlates with poor survival outcomes in patients with the examined cancer types [4,5,[7][8][9][10]. Additionally, CDO1 shows promising diagnostic value in a few tumor types; for example, it could be an efficient strategy to determine minimal residual disease of the peritoneum in patients with gastric cancer (GC) [11,12]. GC ranks the fifth for incidence and the fourth for cancer-caused mortality worldwide in 2020 [13]. ...
... In conventional ER for naïve cases, en block and R0 resections are required to prevent local recurrence (17). Salvage EMR was originally developed for small localized esophageal cancer lesions as an alternative to surgery because it showed similar efficacy and was less invasive than salvage esophagectomy (18)(19)(20)(21). However, it has been reported that the en block and R0 resection rates were relatively low for salvage EMR, as well as conventional EMR, when utilized for large lesions, which is consistent with our results (6)(7)(8)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27). ...
... In the present study, patients with type 4 GC had a significantly worse 5-year OS than those with non-type 4 GC. Hosoda et al. suggested that the optimal therapy for type 4 and large type 3 GCs may need to be separately developed with consideration of target molecules (8). Therefore, we need to develop a different treatment strategy for type 4 GC. ...
... The advantages of robots with tremor filtering and motion scaling can be maximized in recurrent laryngeal lymph node dissection, which requires precise manipulation. Another advantage of monopolar scissors is that they can sharply dissect without an electrical source, as traction and thermal injury can cause recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (6). However, because of the monopolar electrode, contact with adjacent organs may cause fatal damage and complications; therefore, effective use of the articulated instrument, tremor filtering, and motion scaling to avoid contact with adjacent organs is imperative ( Figure 1). ...
... The DPD inhibitors had combined with orally bioavailable fluorinated pyrimidine such as capecitabine or tegafur to verify the similar effect to continuous intra-venous infusion of 5-FU and did not prove molecules advantageous to continuous intra-venous infusion (Kobayakawa and Kojima, 2011;Aguado et al., 2014). Furthermore, more oral fluoropyrimidine such as S1 (tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil) are in progress phase I clinical trials for tumors, including EC (Ajani et al., 2020;Hosoda et al., 2020). However, up to date, the 5-FU is still the widest used fluorinated pyrimidine for cancer treatment. ...
