Our research of the biology of upper gastrointestinal cancers involves the study of tissue samples and cells from biopsies of persons with gastric or esophageal cancer or blood samples from upper gastrointestinal cancer patients and persons at high inherited risk for these cancers. We hope to learn the role genes ...

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter Phase III clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of Fruquintinib combined with Paclitaxel versus Paclitaxel alone in patients with advanced gastric cancer who have progressed after first-line standard chemotherapy. After checking eligbility criteria, subjects will be randomized into Fruquintinib combined with ...

Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for gastric cancer but most patients present with locally advanced disease and recurrence is common after surgery. Many patients (35%) will have early recurrence within 6-9 months of surgery indicating the need for more ...

Epidural PCA (patient controlled analgesia) for post-operative pain management are effective analgesic method. It is widely used in the postoperative pain management for decades. PCA pumps typically set a fixed basal infusion rate to infuse the analgesics at a constant rate per every hour (conventional mode). In contrast, the newly ...

Gastric cancer remains a significant global public health problem. Although in developed countries its incidence has dramatically decreased, on a worldwide scale it is still a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Surgery is the only potentially curative treatment for gastric cancer. Although the survival rates for patients with early stage ...

In the situation of enormous possible beneficial options for patients, health care systems, researchers and companies and the simultaneously present high number of uncertainties, the establishment of an independent registry for patients undergoing any type of comprehensive genomic profiling offers many advantages. In particular, an overview of the speed of ...

Gastric cancer is still one of the main health care issue and gastrectomy with lymph node dissection is the only chance to be cure. Even though the development and standardization of gastric cancer surgery, the morbidity of gastric cancer surgery was reported around 20% with less than 1% of mortality ...

Despite the theoretical superiority of robotic technology, surgical outcomes following robotic surgery have shown little benefit over conventional laparoscopic surgery. At present, studies have evaluated the value of robotic technology in clinical practice, including EndoWrist, TilePro, Firefly, and Single-Site, and have demonstrated the possibility of added clinical value, specifically in ...

The purpose of this study is to conduct a study on genetic pathology, obtaining of cancer tissues is mandatory. Although the endoscopy with biopsy has been a gold standard for diagnosing gastric cancer, percentage of cancer cells in biopsy samples of patients after chemotherapy is usually 30% or less. Because ...
