Screening for Gastric Cancer: The Usefulness of Endoscopy

Gastric cancer screening is common in countries with high prevalence rates of gastric cancer. However, data supporting the effectiveness of gastric cancer screening are lacking. Thus, the aim of this review was to examine the current evidence on gastric cancer screening. Herein, we reviewed radiographic and endoscopic tests as methods of gastric cancer screening. Previous cohort studies and cas...

High miss rate for gastric superficial cancers at endoscopy: what is necessary for gastric cancer screening and surveillance using endoscopy?

Gastric cancer-derived mesenchymal stem cells prompt gastric cancer progression through secretion of interleukin-8

BACKGROUND Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) have been identified to be closely associated with tumor growth and progression. However, the roles of tumor-resident MSCs in cancer have not been thoroughly clarified. This study was to investigate the regulating effect of gastric cancer-derived MSCs (GC-MSCs) on gastric cancer and elucidate the underlying mechanism. METHODS GC-MSCs wer...

Electronic Endoscopy in Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) of Gastric Cancer

The role in which electronic endoscopy plays is important in EMR. It is useful in diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer from a clinical viewpoint. EMR with use of electronic endoscopy allows better coordination between the operator and assistants, and thus improves the results further.
