INTRODUCTION Secondary bladder neoplasms are uncommon and they represent only 2% of all malignant bladder tumors. CASE PRESENTATION The authors present a case of a 59-year-old Caucasian man with a primary gastric adenocarcinoma that had been surgically removed 10 years before he developed bladder metastasis. He presented with low abdominal pain after 10 years without any symptoms. Cystoscopy ...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to: To investigate topoisomerase IIα (topo-IIα) expression and its correlation with clinicopathological parameters in primary gastric cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS A tissue microarray including tumor, paired non-tumoral and lymph node metastasis specimens from 210 gastric adenocarcinoma patients was built for immunohistochemical interrogation. The ...

BACKGROUND It is unclear if differential chemotherapy effects exist on overall survival (OS), response rate (RR) and toxicity depending on primary tumour origin [oesophageal versus oesophago-gastric junction (OGJ) versus gastric adenocarcinoma]. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 2110 patients were enrolled in four randomised controlled trials (RCTs) assessing fluoropyrimidine +/- platinum-based...

abstract   background: gastric cancer is the second most common cancer and also the second cancer related death all over the world. in recent years recorded data for tumor has shown a rise in the incidence of gastric cancer in young individuals. the present study was designed to compare some of the epidemiologic characteristics of individuals suffering from gastric cancer aged below and above f...

the postgastrectomy recurrence rate is as high as 30-65%, with 5-year overall survival rates of <20%. local recurrence is very common which occurs in 38-45% of cases. the most common sites of locoregional recurrence are the gastric remnant at the anastomosis, the gastric bed, and the regional nodes. the recurrence may occur as early and late events after gastrectomy. most recurrences are early,...

Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death in the world. Some studies indicate that polyphenolic compounds and antioxidants exert a protective action against gastric cancer. Among the polyphenolic compounds tested and proven effective against gastric cancer is resveratrol, a natural polyphenol present in red wines and various human food items. Resveratrol has been sh...

We present a case of a 56-year-old man with 3 synchronous gastric tumors. The patient presented with melena, and 3 gastric abnormalities were detected on gastroduodenoscopic examination, including a small ulcerative lesion in the gastric antrum, a submucosal mass in the gastric body, and severe erosion in the fundus. Histological examination of biopsy samples yielded respective diagnoses of gas...

Dural metastasis from primary gastric adenocarcinoma has been rarely reported, and its prognosis is very poor because it frequently leads to acute subdural hematoma. Here, we describe a case with sequential spinal and cranial dural metastases from gastric adenocarcinoma without subdural hematoma. A 43-year-old woman with gastric adenocarcinoma and well-controlled peritoneal carcinomatosis prese...

Gastric adenocarcinoma is the most common histological type of the gastric tumors that accounts for approximately 95% of primary gastric tumors. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the digestive tract accounting for 1%-3% of primary gastric tumors. However, synchronous gastric adenocarcinoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the stomach is an uncommon e...
