Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM NAD(P)H dehydrogenase [quinone] 1 (NQO1), an antioxidant enzyme, confers resistance to anticancer agents. NQO1 C609T is a single-nucleotide polymorphism associated with reduced protein expression in the non-neoplastic esophageal squamous epithelium (ESE). This study aimed to investigate immunohistochemical NQO1 expression in non-neoplastic ESE and to elucidate its prognostic significance in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) undergoing neoadjuvant therapy followed by esophagectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS NQO1 expression in non-neoplastic ESE was determined in surgical specimens from 83 patients with ESCC using immunohistochemistry. The association between NQO1 expression and clinicopathological factors, and the prognostic significance of NQO1 expression for relapse-free survival (RFS) were statistically evaluated. RESULTS Patients with complete loss or weak NQO1 expression and patients with moderate or strong NQO1 expression were classified into the NQO1-negative (n=29) and NQO1-positive (n=54) groups, respectively. The downstaging of T classification status after neoadjuvant therapy was significantly more frequent in the NQO1-negative group than in the NQO1-positive group (59% vs. 33%; p=0.036). The NQO1-negative group had significantly more favorable RFS than the NQO1-positive group (p=0.035). Multivariate survival analysis demonstrated that NQO1 negative expression had a favorable prognostic impact on RFS (HR=0.332; 95%CI=0.136-0.812; p=0.016). CONCLUSION Immunohistochemical evaluation of NQO1 expression in non-neoplastic ESE has clinical utility for predicting patient prognosis after neoadjuvant therapy followed by esophagectomy and might be helpful for selecting candidates for adjuvant therapy to treat ESCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Initial chemotherapy (Initial-C) followed by surgery is a promising treatment strategy for peritoneal lavage cytology-positive gastric cancer (CY1 GC) with no other noncurative factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the survival advantage of Initial-C compared to initial surgery (Initial-S) for this disease according to the macroscopic type, which was associated with prognosis and the efficacy of chemotherapy in GC. METHODS One hundred eighty-nine patients who were diagnosed with CY1 GC with no other noncurative factors at four institutions from January 2007 to December 2018 were enrolled. The patients were divided into a macroscopic type 4 group (N = 48) and a non-type 4 group (N = 141). The influence of initial treatment on overall survival (OS) in each group was evaluated. RESULTS In the type 4 group, the 5-year OS rates of Initial-C (N = 35) and Initial-S (N = 13) were 11.6% and 0%, respectively (P = 0.801). The multivariate analysis could not show the survival advantage of Initial-C. In the non-type 4 group, the 5-year OS rates of Initial-C (N = 41) and Initial-S (N = 100) were 48.4% and 29.0%, respectively (P = 0.020). The multivariate analysis revealed that Initial-C was independently associated with prolonged OS (hazard ratio, 0.591; 95% confidence interval, 0.375-0.933: P = 0.023). CONCLUSIONS Initial-C improves the prognosis of non-type 4 CY1 GC with no other noncurative factors. On the other hand, further development of effective chemotherapeutic regimens and innovative treatment strategies are required for type 4 CY1 GC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent advances in treatment are expected to bring a cure to more patients with gastric cancer (GC). Focusing on the risk of death from other diseases (DOD) has become a crucial issue in patients cured of GC. The aim of this study was to elucidate the risk factors for DOD in patients who underwent curative gastrectomy with lymph node dissection for GC. METHODS We enrolled 810 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy with lymph node dissection for GC from January 1990 to December 2014 and had no recurrence or death of GC until December 2019. We investigated the risk factors for DOD defined as death excluding death from a malignant neoplasm, accident, or suicide after gastrectomy, focusing on the perioperative characteristics at gastrectomy. RESULTS Among 315 deaths from any cause, 210 died from diseases other than malignancy, accidents and suicide. The leading cause of DOD was pneumonia in 54 patients (25.7%). The actual survival period in 167 patients (79.5%) with DOD was shorter than their estimated life expectancy at gastrectomy. Multivariate analysis revealed that a high Charlson Comorbidity Index score (score 1-2: hazard ratio [HR] 2.192, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.713-2.804, P < 0.001 and score ≥ 3: HR 4.813, 95% CI 3.022-7.668, P < 0.001), total gastrectomy (HR 1.620, 95% CI 1.195-2.197, P = 0.002) and the presence of postoperative complications (HR 1.402, 95% CI 1.024-1.919, P = 0.035) were significant independent risk factors for DOD after gastrectomy for GC, in addition to age of 70 years or higher, performance status of one or higher and body mass index less than 22.0 at gastrectomy. CONCLUSIONS Pneumonia is a leading cause of DOD after curative gastrectomy and lymph node dissection for GC. Paying attention to comorbidities, minimizing the choice of total gastrectomy and avoiding postoperative complications are essential to maintain the long-term prognosis after gastrectomy.

Abstract
The patient was a 61-year-old man with a diagnosis of carcinoma of the pancreatic head. Abdominal computed tomography( CT)showed no distant metastasis, and he underwent subtotal stomach-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy. Immediately after surgery, he received liver perfusion chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil followed by systemic gemcitabine. Eighteen months after surgery, CT revealed liver metastasis in the S6 segment, and partial hepatectomy was performed. The pathological diagnosis was liver metastasis of pancreatic cancer. Postoperatively, the patient was treated with gemcitabine and S-1 therapy for 1 year and then switched to S-1 monotherapy for about 6 months. Four years after the initial surgery, CT showed 2 metastases in the right lung. After 2 months of S-1 monotherapy, wedge resection of the upper and lower lobes of the right lung was performed. Gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel therapy were administered, after the metastasectomy, but pleural dissemination appeared on CT 5 years after the initial surgery. Modified FOLFIRINOX therapy was started and continued for 8 months, but CT revealed further disseminated lesions in the diaphragm. Palliative irradiation was provided, but the disease gradually progressed. After multidisciplinary treatment, the patient survived for 6 years and 3 months after the initial surgery.

Abstract
A 57-year-old man was diagnosed as having resectable advanced esophageal carcinoma adjacent to the trachea(Ut, cT3N0M0)and received preoperative docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil therapy. Due to tracheal tumor invasion and upstaging to cT4bN0M0 after 1 course of chemotherapy, the treatment was converted to definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT). A remarkable response with no evidence of tracheal invasion was observed on computed tomography following definitive CRT. He underwent successful curative resection with salvage esophagectomy, and the resected tumor was staged as pT1bN0M0. No adjuvant therapy was administered, and the patient was alive with no evidence of disease at the 5-year postoperative follow-up. The response to preoperative treatment should be meticulously assessed and appropriate treatment modalities used to avoid overlooking the potential for cure, even if the response to preoperative treatment with docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil is poor.

Abstract
An 87-year-old woman with a gradually enlarging mass in her left breast, diagnosed as having left-sided breast cancer with skin invasion by a local practitioner, was referred to our hospital. Computed tomography revealed ascending colon cancer with abdominal wall invasion and a thoracic aortic aneurysm(Stanford type B), in addition to breast cancer with skin invasion. A thoracic endovascular aortic repair and bypass surgery between the subclavian arteries were both performed for the thoracic aortic aneurysm. After 6 days, a right hemicolectomy and D2 lymphadenectomy were performed for the ascending colon cancer. A postoperative pathological diagnosis of pT3N0M0, pStage Ⅱa, was made. A total left mastectomy with a full-thickness skin graft for left breast cancer was performed after 2 months following the ascending colon cancer surgery. The postoperative pathological diagnosis was pT3N0M0, pStage ⅡB. No evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis of the ascending colon cancer has been observed at 20 months postoperatively, or of the breast cancer after 18 months following surgery.

Abstract
A 75-year-old woman presented to our hospital with abdominal pain and melena. Colonoscopy revealed an ulcer at the appendiceal orifice. Histopathological examination of biopsy specimens revealed adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography showed an appendiceal mass of 11.8×6.7 cm in size involving the cecum and terminal ileum without any distant metastatic findings. Ileocecal resection with regional lymph node dissection to the root of the ileocolonic artery was performed. Histopathological examination of the specimen revealed appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Molecular subtype of the tumor was BRAF V600E mutation and microsatellite instability-high(MSI-H). The pathological stage was pT4bpN1bcM0, pStage ⅢC. She received 8 courses of CapeOX as adjuvant chemotherapy and no recurrence was noted 12 months following the surgery. The establishment of standard treatment strategies including surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy for carcinoma of the appendix with BRAF V600E mutation and/or MSI-H is needed.

Abstract
A 66-year-old man was referred to our hospital with fever and abdominal pain. CT showed a mass in the intrapancreatic bile duct but no wall thickness in the perihilar bile ducts. Neither regional lymphadenopathy nor distant metastasis was observed. Biliary cytology showed adenocarcinoma. The diagnosis was distal cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatoduodenectomy was performed. Intraoperative frozen section examination of the ductal resection margins at the right and left hepatic ducts was positive for carcinoma in situ, and the operation ultimately completed with R1 resection. Histological examination confirmed a diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma with superficial spread and a single positive lymph node. Adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 was administered for 1 year. Anastomotic recurrence at the hepaticojejunostomy was found 5 years after resection; biopsy specimens revealed adenocarcinoma. Thereafter, S-1 chemotherapy was resumed, and the patient remains alive and well 9 years and 1 month after resection.

Abstract
A 58-year-old woman presented with a complaint of weight loss. Abdominal computed tomography showed dilatation of the biliary and pancreatic ducts and a mural nodule in the pancreatic duct. The diagnosis was intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(IPMN). Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)and cholangioscopy revealed a fistula between the common bile duct and the IPMN. A sudden increase in hepatobiliary enzymes was noted preoperatively. ERCP showed that the common bile duct was obstructed by mucus. A nasobiliary drainage tube was inserted into the bile duct endoscopically and kept open by daily tube washing, and the liver dysfunction improved. Total pancreatectomy, splenectomy, and regional lymph node dissection were performed. Histological examination confirmed that the primary tumor was mixed invasive intraductal papillary mucinous adenocarcinoma. The patient remains alive and well with no evidence of recurrence 18 months after resection.

Abstract
We report a case of biliary cystadenocarcinoma in which long-term survival was achieved after 2 operations for intrahepatic recurrence. A 72-year-old man with biliary cystadenocarcinoma located mainly in segment 3 of the liver underwent left hepatectomy, extrahepatic bile duct resection, and lymph node dissection. Seven years and 9 months after the initial resection, he underwent partial liver resection(segment 5)for intrahepatic recurrence detected by computed tomography. Fifteen years and 7 months after the initial resection, he underwent repeat partial resection of the liver(segment 5)for intrahepatic recurrence. Histologically, these tumors were confirmed to be recurrence of biliary cystadenocarcinoma. He remains alive and well with no further recurrence 21 years and 6 months after the initial resection. This case and a literature review suggest that hepatic resection is a useful treatment option for intrahepatic recurrence of biliary cystadenocarcinoma.

Abstract
A 72-year-old woman presented with obstructive jaundice. Computed tomography revealed a 12-mm low-density mass in the head of the pancreas. She was diagnosed as having pancreatic cancer by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration. She received gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel as preoperative chemotherapy. After 2 courses, hepatoduodenal lymph node metastasis appeared and was accompanied by increased tumor marker levels. The regimen was changed to modified FOLFIRINOX. After 5 courses, the lymph node metastasis was reduced in size and the tumor marker levels were decreased, so subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed. Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered postoperatively. The patient was alive and well without recurrence 2 years and 9 months after the surgery, but died of sepsis. Nevertheless, this case highlights that when preoperative chemotherapy for resectable pancreatic cancer appears to be ineffective, a change in regimen may be useful.

Abstract
Background Ceramide and sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) play opposing roles in cell death and survival, and maintain a dynamic balance called the sphingolipid rheostat. Glucosylceramide is a substrate to generate ceramide but its effect on breast cancer by oral administration was never tested. The purpose of this study was to reveal the anticancer activity of glucosylceramide and its potential as a new therapeutic agent in breast cancer. Methods E0771 cells were inoculated into the breast tissue of female C57BL/6NJcl mice. Glucosylceramide was administered orally to the mice for nine consecutive days. The concentrations of sphingolipid mediators including ceramide, glucosylceramide, and S1P in tumor tissues and serum were determined by mass spectrometry. Results Oral administration of glucosylceramide significantly suppressed E0771 tumor growth compared with the control group (P = 0.006). There were no significant differences in the serum concentrations of sphingolipid mediators including ceramide and S1P between the mice treated with glucosylceramide and control-treated mice. The ceramide concentration was significantly lower in tumor tissues (P = 0.026), and the S1P concentration was significantly higher than that in paired non-tumor tissues (P = 0.009). The S1P concentration in tumor tissues was significantly lower in mice treated with glucosylceramide than in control-treated mice (P = 0.001). The ceramide-to-S1P concentration ratio in tumor tissues was significantly higher in mice treated with glucosylceramide than in control-treated mice (P = 0.034). Conclusions Breast tumors could enhance their survival by increasing S1P conversion from ceramide. Oral administration of glucosylceramide suppressed tumor growth by affecting the ceramide/S1P balance. Oral administration of glucosylceramide is a promising basis for a new therapeutic approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The definition and classification of regional nodes are not standardized for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma. This study aimed to clarify the rational extent of regional lymphadenectomy and to elucidate the impact of number-based regional nodal classification on survival of patients with this disease. METHODS Data of 136 patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma who underwent surgery were reviewed. The incidence of metastasis and the survival of patients with metastasis were calculated for each node group. RESULTS The incidence of metastasis for the node groups in the hepatoduodenal ligament (denoted as no. 12) ranged from 3.7% to 25.4%, with 5-year disease-specific survival of 12.9% to 33.3% for patients with metastasis. The incidences of metastasis in the common hepatic artery (no. 8) and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal (no. 13a) node groups were 14.4% and 11.2%, respectively, with 5-year disease-specific survival rates of 16.7% and 20.0% for the patients with metastasis. When these node groups were defined as regional nodes, the 5-year disease-specific survival rates for the patients with pN0 (n = 80), pN1 (1-3 positive nodes, n = 38), and pN2 (≥ 4 positive nodes, n = 18) were 61.4%, 22.9%, and 17.6%, respectively (p < 0.001). The pN classification was independently associated with disease-specific survival (p < 0.001). When only the no. 12 node groups were regarded as regional nodes, pN classification failed to stratify the patients prognostically. CONCLUSIONS No. 8 and no. 13a node groups should be considered regional nodes in addition to no. 12 node groups and should be dissected. The number-based regional nodal classification allows patients with this disease to be stratified prognostically.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to clarify potential candidates for anatomic resection (AR) among patients with pathological T1-T2 (pT1-T2) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to determine whether AR is effective for HCC with microscopic vascular invasion (MVI). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 288 patients with pT1a (n = 50), pT1b (n = 134) or pT2 (n = 104) HCC who underwent curative-intent resection between 1990 and 2010. Surgical outcomes were compared between patients who underwent AR (n = 189) and those who underwent nonanatomic resection (NAR; n = 99) according to pT category and MVI status. RESULTS Patients who underwent AR were more likely to have good hepatic functional reserve and an aggressive primary tumor than those who underwent NAR. When patients were stratified according to pT category, AR had a more favorable impact on survival than NAR only in patients with pT2 HCC in univariate (5-year survival, 51.5% vs. 34.6%; p = 0.010) and multivariate analysis (hazard ratio 0.505; p = 0.014). However, AR had no impact on survival in patients with pT1a or pT1b HCC. In patients with MVI (n = 57), AR achieved better survival than NAR (5-year survival, 52.0% vs. 16.7%; p = 0.019) and was an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio 0.335; p = 0.020). In patients without MVI (n = 231), there was no significant difference in survival between the two groups (p = 0.221). CONCLUSION AR was identified as an independent factor in improved survival in patients with pT2 HCC or HCC with MVI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a serious complication after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors for AL. METHODS Patients with esophageal cancer who underwent curative esophagectomy and cervical esophagogastric anastomosis between 2009 and 2019 (N = 346) and those between 2020 and 2022 (N = 17) were enrolled in the study to identify the risk factors for AL and the study to assess the association between the risk factors and blood flow in the gastric conduit evaluated by indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging, respectively. RESULTS AL occurred in 17 out of 346 patients (4.9%). Peptic or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) ulcer scars were independently associated with AL (OR 6.872, 95% CI 2.112-22.365) in addition to diabetes mellitus. The ulcer scars in the anterior/posterior gastric wall were more frequently observed in patients with AL than in those without AL (75.0% vs. 17.4%, P = 0.042). The median flow velocity of ICG fluorescence in the gastric conduits with the scars was significantly lower than in those without the scars (1.17 cm/s vs. 2.23 cm/s, P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Peptic or ESD ulcer scarring is a risk factor for AL after esophagectomy in addition to diabetes mellitus. The scars in the anterior/posterior gastric wall are significantly associated with AL, impairing blood flow of the gastric conduit. Preventive interventions and careful postoperative management should be provided to minimize the risk and severity of AL in patients with these risk factors.

Abstract
We report a case of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC)with lymph node metastases in which long-term survival was achieved after surgery followed by chemotherapy. A 69-year-old man underwent left hepatectomy, extrahepatic bile duct resection, and lymph node dissection for ICC located mainly in segment 4 of the liver with enlarged lymph nodes in the hepatoduodenal ligament. The histopathologically confirmed diagnosis was ICC(T2N1M0, Stage ⅣA)with 3 positive lymph nodes(No. 12a1, No. 12p1, and No. 12p2). He received chemotherapy with gemcitabine(GEM)plus cisplatin(CDDP)for 9 months, followed by GEM monotherapy for 4 months, and then S-1 monotherapy was started. A right lung nodule was detected 12 months after the initiation of S-1 monotherapy. He received GEM plus S-1 therapy for 28 months, followed by S-1 monotherapy, leading to disappearance of the lung nodule. He remains alive and well without disease 78 months after surgery. Our experience in this case suggests that radical resection followed by chemotherapy may provide a survival benefit in selected patients who have ICC with nodal disease.

Abstract
Background
Recent improvements in systemic chemotherapy have provided an opportunity for patients with stage IV gastric cancer (GC) to undergo conversion surgery (CS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients who underwent CS and to elucidate the prognostic factors for CS in stage IV GC.
Methods
A total of 79 patients who underwent CS with the aim of R0 resection for stage IV GC at six institutions from January 2008 to July 2019 were enrolled. We retrospectively reviewed the clinicopathological data and prognosis.
Results
Of the 79 patients, 23 (31.1%) had initially resectable disease (IR) before chemotherapy, defined as positive for cancer on peritoneal cytology (CY1), resectable hepatic metastasis, or para-aortic lymph node No. 16a2/b1 metastasis. Of the 56 remaining patients with primary unresectable disease, 39 had peritoneal dissemination. R0 resection was accomplished in 63 patients (79.7%). The 3-year OS rates for patients with IR and unresectable disease were 78.3% and 44.5%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that IR (P = 0.014) and R0 (P = 0.014) were statistically significant independent prognostic factors for favorable OS. Among patients with peritoneal dissemination alone, OS was significantly better for patients with R0 resection than for patients with R1/2 resection, with the 3-year OS rates of 65.5% and 23.1%, respectively (P = 0.011).
Conclusions
CS is a treatment option for selected patients with stage IV GC. Patients with IR and patients who achieve R0 resection may obtain a survival benefit from CS.

Abstract
A 74-year-old man presented to our hospital with a mass in the left supraclavicular fossa. He was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer with liver metastasis and left supraclavicular and para-aortic lymph node metastasis, cT3N2M1 (LYM, HEP), cStage Ⅳ(the Union for International Cancer Control, TNM 7th edition). He received a total of 3 courses of S- 1 plus cisplatin therapy. Since he developed adverse reactions such as anorexia, renal dysfunction, and thrombocytopenia and the tumor was HER2-positive, he received 25 courses of capecitabine, cisplatin, and trastuzumab chemotherapy. Three years and 2 months after the first chemotherapy, remarkable tumor reduction was observed. The patient then underwent radical distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy, and R0 resection was achieved. The histopathological diagnosis was ypT1aN0M0, ypStage ⅠA. Chemotherapy with trastuzumab may improve the long-term prognosis of HER2-positive Stage Ⅳ gastric cancer if the disease is controlled and radical resection can be achieved.

Abstract
A woman in her 60s had been aware of perianal erosions for 1 month. Skin biopsy showed Paget's cells in the stratified squamous epithelium, and immunohistochemistry showed negative staining for CK7 and positive staining for CK20. Colonoscopy revealed well-differentiated adenocarcinoma in the anal canal. Computed tomography showed neither regional lymph node metastasis nor distant metastasis. Hence, she was diagnosed with anal canal carcinoma with pagetoid spread. We determined the extent of resection of the skin lesion preoperatively by mapping biopsy, and performed laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection. The pathological findings revealed adenocarcinoma(tub1, tub2), and the skin resection margin was negative. Immunohistochemistry for Paget's cells in the stratified squamous epithelium showed negative staining for GCDFP-15 and CK7, and positive staining for CK20. Twenty-four months after surgery, we detected right inguinal lymph node metastasis and performed right inguinal lymphadenectomy. As of 4 months after the lymphadenectomy, no local recurrence or distant metastasis has been detected during follow-up examinations.

Abstract
The patient was a 71-year-old man with a diagnosis of duodenal carcinoma. Abdominal computed tomography(CT) showed no distant metastasis, and he underwent subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy was not administered. A left supraclavicular lymph node recurrence was detected on CT 15 months after surgery. Capecitabine and oxaliplatin(CAPOX)therapy was administered and the metastatic lesion shrank. Positron emission tomography(PET)-CT showed no lesions at other sites and left cervical lymph node dissection was performed 5 months after the recurrence. Postoperative adjuvant therapy with S-1 was administered for 6 months. However, 2 years and 10 months after the first recurrence, CT showed recurrence in the left supraclavicular lymph node. CAPOX therapy was resumed, but due to an allergic reaction to oxaliplatin, the patient was treated with capecitabine alone. The recurrent lesion was gradually increased in size, and FOLFIRI therapy was introduced. One year and 5 months after secondary recurrence, PET-CT showed that the second recurrent lesion had grown but was confined to the left supraclavicular lymph node, so radiation therapy(60 Gy)to the left neck was performed. The disease was stable for about 10 months and chemotherapy could be discontinued. The lesion increased in size thereafter, and the patient died 7 years after initial surgery.

Abstract
Background Severe neutropenia, including febrile neutropenia, is a major toxicity of systemic chemotherapy that leads to delays in treatment, higher costs, and mortality. Severe neutropenia may occur during neoadjuvant chemotherapy even when the patients are free from known risk factors. Pegfilgrastim, a covalent conjugant of filgrastim that stimulate the production of neutrophils, is used for prevention. The current study aimed to reveal the characteristics of patients who need pegfilgrastim for primary prophylaxis to prevent severe neutropenia, including febrile neutropenia and grade 3 neutropenia, during neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods A retrospective analysis of 83 patients treated with neoadjuvant adriamycin/cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel chemotherapy was performed. The factors which associated with severe neutropenia were examined by univariate and multivariate analyses. Results Severe neutropenia developed in one of 22 patients (5%) with pegfilgrastim for primary prophylaxis and in 17 of 61 patients (28%) without it. In 83 patients, the incidence of severe neutropenia was significantly decreased in the patients with pegfilgrastim for primary prophylaxis shown by the univariate analysis (P = 0.023) and multivariate analysis (P = 0.030). In 61 patients without pegfilgrastim for primary prophylaxis, the univariate analysis showed that severe neutropenia was associated with tumor size (P = 0.004), clinical stage (P = 0.009), and cancer antigen 15-3 (CA15-3) (P = 0.026). The multivariate analysis showed that clinical stage was associated with severe neutropenia (P = 0.021). Conclusions The current study demonstrated that advanced stage is a risk for severe neutropenia in patients treated with neoadjuvant adriamycin/cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel chemotherapy. Given that prophylaxis with pegfilgrastim was associated with significantly lower incidence of severe neutropenia, patient with advance stage breast cancer may benefit from pegfilgrastim during neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The situation of positive resection margins (PRMs) varies notably between Western and Asian countries. In the West, PRMs are associated with advanced disease and R1, whereas in Asia, PRMs are also considered in early disease because stomach preservation was recently prioritized. Furthermore, PRMs are usually resected to obtain R0. However, the oncological impact of PRMs and additional resection remains unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate the oncological impact of PRMs in laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for clinical stage (cStage) I gastric cancer. METHODS A total of 2121 patients who underwent LG for cStage I gastric cancer between 2007 and 2015 were enrolled. Survival outcomes were compared between patients with PRMs (group P) and those without (group N). Furthermore, prognostic factors were analyzed using multivariate analysis. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients (1.3%) had PRMs. Patients in group P had upper and more advanced disease, and the 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rate was worse in group P compared with group N (76.3% vs. 95.1%, P = 0.003). The 5-year RFS of patients with pT2 or deeper (pT2-4) disease in group P was significantly worse than that of patients in group N (66.7% vs. 89.5%, P = 0.030) although that of patients with pT1 was not. Likelihood ratio tests showed that there was a significant interaction between pT status and PRM (P = 0.005). CONCLUSION PRM in cStage I gastric cancer is associated with advanced upper disease. It remains an independent prognostic factor in pT2-4 disease even after an additional resection to obtain R0.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Totally laparoscopic gastrectomy (TLG), which involves a complete intracorporeal gastric transection and the creation of an anastomosis, has been gradually adopted. However, a potential limitation of intracorporeal transection is the lack of tactile feedback, and whether this limitation influences oncological outcomes is unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate the short- and long-term oncological safety of TLG using endoscopy-guided intracorporeal gastric transection for clinical stage (cStage) I gastric cancer. METHODS A total of 1875 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy for cStage I gastric cancer between January 2007 and March 2015 were enrolled in this study. Marking clips were preoperatively placed and a transection line was determined by perceiving it tactually in laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy (LAG) or endoscopically in TLG. After propensity score matching, 1366 patients (683 each for LAG and TLG groups) were selected to primarily test the non-inferiority of TLG to that of LAG for relapse-free survival (RFS). RESULTS In the propensity-matched population, the 5-year RFS rates of the LAG and TLG groups were 94.3% (95% confidence interval (CI) 92.2-95.8%), and 95.6% (95% CI 93.8-96.9%), respectively. The hazard ratio (TLG/LAG) was 0.77 (95% CI 0.48-1.24, P for non-inferiority < 0.01). There were no significant differences in the recurrence profiles. The incidence of the remnant of marking clips or tumor tissue did not differ (LAG: 1.0% vs. TLG: 1.9%, P = 0.177). CONCLUSIONS TLG using preoperative markings and intraoperative endoscopic guidance provides cStage I gastric cancer patients with comparable oncological outcomes to the conventional method.

Abstract
Background Esophageal involvement length (EIL) is a promising indicator of metastasis or recurrence in mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs) in adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ). This study aimed to elucidate the accuracy of the preoperative endoscopic evaluations of EIL and its clinical significance in this disease. Materials and methods In total, 75 patients with Siewert type II (N = 53) or III (N = 22) adenocarcinoma of the EGJ, who underwent surgical resection without preoperative therapy between 1995 and 2016 were enrolled. We retrospectively examined the accuracy of the preoperative endoscopic evaluations of EIL (preoperative EIL), compared to the pathologically evaluated EIL. Finally, we investigated the association between preoperative EIL and metastasis or recurrence in MLNs. Results The accuracy of the preoperative EIL within a 1-cm interval was only 53.3%. Among patients with discordance between the pre- and postoperative evaluations, 68.6 % had the underestimation in the preoperative EIL. pN1–3 (OR = 5.85, 95% CI: 1.03–33.17) and undifferentiated histologic type (OR = 2.52, 95% CI: 0.89–7.14) were potential risk factors for the discordance. Regarding metastasis or recurrence in MLNs, preoperative EIL of 2–3 cm (OR = 10.41, 95% CI: 1.35–80.11) and >3 cm (OR = 8.33, 95% CI: 1.09–63.96) were independent predictors. Conclusion Although the accuracy of the endoscopic evaluations of EIL is insufficient with many underestimations, EIL should be assessed in preoperative staging because of significant predictive power for metastasis or recurrence in MLNs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION After curative gastrectomy followed by 1-year adjuvant S-1 monotherapy for pathological stage (pStage) II or III gastric cancer, some patients experience peritoneal, hematogenous, or lymph nodal recurrence. However, risk factors for each recurrence pattern despite completed adjuvant S-1 monotherapy remain unclear. The aim of this study was to determine which factors influence each recurrence type after curative gastrectomy followed by 1-year adjuvant S-1 monotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 380 patients with pStage II or III gastric cancer who completed 1-year adjuvant S-1 monotherapy after R0 gastrectomy between January 2008 and December 2013 were enrolled in this study. The risk factors that were associated with peritoneal, hematogenous, and lymph nodal recurrence were investigated by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Eighty (21.1%) of 380 patients developed recurrence. As the first site, peritoneal, hematogenous, and lymph nodal recurrence occurred in 42 (11.1%), 26 (6.8%), and 12 (3.2%) patients, respectively. In multivariate analysis, peritoneal metastasis was associated with signet ring cell carcinoma (P < 0.001), pT4 (P = 0.001), and pN3 (P < 0.001), while hematogenous recurrence was associated with pN3 (P = 0.019) and later initiation of S-1 (P = 0.013), and lymph nodal recurrence was associated with pN3 (P = 0.002). CONCLUSION The risk factors for peritoneal, hematogenous, and lymph nodal recurrence in pStage II or III gastric cancer patients who complete adjuvant S-1 monotherapy differ. This information may be helpful for daily surveillance of recurrence in post-operative and chemotherapeutic patients. Furthermore, it may be a useful reference to develop novel perioperative chemotherapy.

Abstract
A 73-year-old man presented with anemia, and gastroscopy showed a nonpigmented tumor in the esophagogastric junction. The result of the tumor biopsy initially suspected poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. However, additional immunohistochemical examination revealed malignant melanoma. The final diagnosis was amelanotic malignant melanoma of the esophagogastric junction with adrenal and spinal metastasis. Although immunotherapy was performed, the patient died 132 days after diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM staging system provided a specific 'ypTNM' stage grouping for patients with esophageal cancer. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of the AJCC 8th edition ypTNM stage grouping for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). METHODS We enrolled 152 patients with ESCC who underwent surgery after neoadjuvant cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (CF) therapy between June 2005 and December 2011. ypStage was evaluated according to the AJCC 7th and 8th editions. Predictive performance for disease-specific survival (DSS) and overall survival (OS) was compared between both editions. The prognostic significance of ypTNM stage grouping was evaluated using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Revision of the AJCC 7th edition to the 8th edition was associated with a change in ypStage in 96 patients (63.2%). The AJCC 8th edition revealed a better predictive performance than the 7th edition in terms of DSS (Akaike's information criterion [AIC] 499 vs. 513; Bayesian information criterion [BIC] 505 versus 519; concordance index [C-index] 0.725 versus 0.679) and OS (AIC 662 vs. 674; BIC 669 vs. 681; C-index 0.662 vs. 0.622). On univariate and multivariate analyses, ypStage in the 8th edition was an independent prognostic factor for both DSS and OS. CONCLUSIONS ypTNM stage grouping in the AJCC 8th edition provided a better predictive performance for DSS and OS than that in the 7th edition. ypStage in the 8th edition was the most reliable prognostic factor for ESCC patients who underwent surgery after neoadjuvant CF therapy.

Abstract
Nearly 50% of primary lung carcinoma patients present with distant metastasis at their first visit. However, gastrointestinal tract (GIT) metastasis is an infrequent impediment. Herein, we report a case of progressive dysphagia and epigastralgia as an initial manifestation of recurrence as gastric metastasis of primary lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) after curative surgery. A 64-year-old man was diagnosed with primary lung SCC of the right lower lobe, and underwent thoracoscopic lower lobectomy. One year after lobectomy, computed tomography (CT) scan showed a gastric fundal mass located in the gastric cardia which measured 5 cm. Endoscopic biopsies and histopathology subsequently confirmed that tumor was SCC. The patient then underwent proximal gastrectomy with resection of the diaphragmatic crus. Following surgery, histopathological examination revealed gastric metastasis from primary lung SCC. KEY POINTS: Gastric metastasis of primary lung carcinoma is one of the rarest phenomena. Gastrointestinal symptoms should raise suspicion of the presence of advanced metastatic disease with poor prognosis.

Abstract
Comprehensive genomic sequencing (CGS) enables us to detect numerous genetic alterations in a single assay. We aimed to identify molecular markers for predicting prognosis and conversion surgery in Stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) using CGS. One-hundred eleven patients with Stage IV CRC who underwent primary tumor resection were analyzed. We retrospectively investigated genetic alterations using CGS of a 415-gene panel. Clinicopathological variables and genetic alterations were analyzed to identify independent prognostic factors of overall survival (OS). Forty-five of 111 patients had R0 resection; of these, 11 patients underwent conversion surgery. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified histopathological grade 3, R0 resection, BRAF V600E mutation, and SRC mutation as independent prognostic factors for OS (P = 0.041, P = 0.013, P = 0.005, and P = 0.023, respectively). BRAF V600E and SRC mutations were mutually exclusive, and SRC mutation was significantly associated with left-sided tumor and liver metastasis compared to BRAF V600E mutation (P = 0.016 and P = 0.025, respectively). Eleven of the 74 initially unresectable patients underwent conversion surgery for R0 resection, yet none harbored BRAF V600E or SRC mutations. BRAF V600E and SRC mutations are important molecular markers which can predict prognosis and conversion surgery in Stage IV CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lymphatic spread is the main mode of progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a pleiotropic bioactive lipid mediator, which produced by sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) activated by phosphorylation. The SphK1-S1P axis has a crucial role in lymphangiogenesis. However, the significance of phospho-SphK1 (pSphK1) in the progression of ESCC has not been fully investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated pSphK1 expression in 92 surgically resected tumor tissues of ESCC by the immunohistochemistry. Fifty-nine (64%) patients with moderate or strong expression and 33 (36%) with negative or weak expression were classified in the pSphK1-high and pSphK1-low groups, respectively. RESULTS Higher pathological N category (pN) was more frequently observed in the pSphK1-high group (P < 0.01). The median number of lymph node metastasis (pSphK1-high: 2 versus pSphK1-low: 0; P < 0.01), the proportion of patients with lymphatic invasion (69% versus 18%; P < 0.01) and that with intramural metastasis (27% versus 3%; P < 0.01) were significantly higher in the pSphK1-high group. The presence of lymphatic invasion (odds ratio [OR] 5.63; P < 0.01) and pN1-3 (OR 3.26; P = 0.04) were independently associated with high pSphK1 expression. The 5-y overall survival rate of the pSphK1-high group was significantly lower than that of the pSphK1-low group (50.8% versus 67.3%; P = 0.01). High pSphK1 expression was not identified as a significant independent prognostic factor. CONCLUSIONS We provide the first evidence of the association between high expression of pSphK1 and both lymphatic spread and patient outcomes in ESCC.

Abstract
A 74-year-old woman with cT4aN2M0, cStage ⅢB gastric cancer underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy comprising 2 courses of S-1 plus cisplatin, and the clinical response was determined as non-CR/non-PD according to RECIST ver 1.1. Although distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy was planned, the tumor was considered as unresectable with peritoneal metastases during laparotomy. After the subsequent chemotherapy with 1 course of capecitabine plus cisplatin, tumor bleeding, and obstruction due to rapid tumor progression occurred. We performed palliative distal gastrectomy; however, the patient died 17 days after gastrectomy. A comprehensive genomic analysis using cancer-gene panel identified the tumor as a microsatellite instability-high(MSI-H). Recently post hoc analysis of the large-scale clinical trials showed no clinical benefit of perioperative chemotherapy in MSI-H gastric cancer. MSI status has a potential to optimize the perioperative treatment strategy in gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A combination of assays for the presence of serum anti-Helicobacter pylori IgG antibody (HPA) and serum pepsinogen (PG) concentrations can be used to screen for gastric cancer risk. In Japan, this "ABC method" is considered an effective means of stratifying gastric cancer risk. This study aimed to ascertain its cost-effectiveness for assessing gastric cancer risk. METHODS A Markov model was constructed to compare the cost-effectiveness of two strategies for gastric cancer-risk screening over a 30-year period: the ABC method, which uses a combination of assessing the presence of HPA and measuring serum PG concentrations and scheduling endoscopies accordingly, and annual endoscopic screening. Clinical and epidemiological data on variables in the model were obtained from published reports. Analyses were made from the perspective of the Japanese health care payer. RESULTS According to base-case analysis, the ABC method cost less than annual endoscopic screening (64,489 vs. 64,074 USD) and saved more lives (18.16 vs. 18.30 quality-adjusted life years). One-way analyses confirmed the robustness of the cost-effectiveness results. The probability that the ABC method is cost-effective in Japanese individuals aged 50 years was 0.997. CONCLUSIONS A combination of HPA and serum PG assays, plus scheduling endoscopy accordingly, is a cost-effective method of screening for gastric cancer risk in Japan.

Abstract
PURPOSE The combination of paclitaxel + ramucirumab is a standard second-line treatment in patients with advanced gastric cancer. This therapy has been associated with increased median overall survival and progression-free survival compared with those with paclitaxel monotherapy. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of paclitaxel + ramucirumab combination therapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer, from the perspective of health care payers in Japan. METHODS We constructed a Markov model to compare, over a time horizon of 3 years, the costs and effectiveness of the combination of paclitaxel + ramucirumab and paclitaxel alone as second-line therapies for advanced gastric cancer in Japan. Health outcomes were measured in life-years (LYs) and quality-adjusted (QA) LYs gained. Costs were calculated using year-2016 Japanese yen (¥1 = US $17.79) according to the social insurance reimbursement schedule and drug tariff of the fee-for-service system in Japan. Model robustness was addressed through 1-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses. The costs and QALYs were discounted at a rate of 2% per year. The willingness-to-pay threshold was set at the World Health Organization's criterion of ¥12 million, because no consensus exists regarding the threshold for acceptable cost per QALY ratios in Japan's health policy. FINDINGS Paclitaxel + ramucirumab combination therapy was estimated to provide an additional 0.09 QALYs (0.10 LYs) at a cost of ¥3,870,077, resulting in an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of ¥43,010,248/QALY. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for the combination therapy was >¥12 million/QALY in all of the 1-way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses. IMPLICATIONS Adding ramucirumab to a regimen of paclitaxel in the second-line treatment of advanced gastric cancer is expected to provide a minimal incremental benefit at a high incremental cost per QALY. Based on our findings, adjustments in the price of ramucirumab, as well as improves in other clinical parameters such as survival time and adverse event in advanced gastric cancer therapy, are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy has been found to be more effective against left-sided colorectal cancer (LCRC) than right-sided colorectal cancer (RCRC). We hypothesized that RCRC is more likely to harbor genetic alterations associated with resistance to anti-EGFR therapy and tested this using comprehensive genomic sequencing. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 201 patients with either primary RCRC or LCRC were analyzed. We investigated tumors for genetic alterations using a 415-gene panel, which included alterations associated with resistance to anti-EGFR therapy: TK receptors (ERBB2, MET, EGFR, FGFR1, and PDGFRA), RAS pathway (KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, BRAF, and MAPK2K1), and PI3K pathway (PTEN and PIK3CA). Patients whose tumors had no alterations in these 12 genes, theoretically considered to respond to anti-EGFR therapy, were defined as "all wild-type", while remaining patients were defined as "mutant-type". RESULTS Fifty-six patients (28%) and 145 patients (72%) had RCRC and LCRC, respectively. Regarding genetic alterations associated with anti-EGFR therapy, only 6 of 56 patients (11%) with RCRC were "all wild-type" compared with 41 of 145 patients (28%) with LCRC (P = 0.009). Among the 49 patients who received anti-EGFR therapy, RCRC showed significantly worse progression-free survival (PFS) than LCRC (P = 0.022), and "mutant-type" RCRC showed significantly worse PFS compared with "all wild-type" LCRC (P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS RCRC is more likely to harbor genetic alterations associated with resistance to anti-EGFR therapy compared with LCRC. Furthermore, our data shows primary tumor sidedness is a surrogate for the non-random distribution of genetic alterations in CRC.

Abstract
Background Bochdalek hernias are one of the most common types of diaphragmatic hernia, with most cases diagnosed during the neonatal period. In contrast, diagnosis of a Bochdalek hernia in an adult is rare and is typically observed on the left side of the diaphragm. Even more rare is the diagnosis of a right-sided Bochdalek hernia in an adult, where there is concurrent visceral malformation in most cases. Case presentation We describe a case of an 89-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed decreased intravenous contrast uptake and thickening of the wall of herniated small intestine through the right side of the diaphragm, which led to the diagnosis of a strangulated diaphragmatic hernia. The patient underwent emergent laparotomy and required a partial resection of the necrotic ileum and a hernia repair with direct closure. Interestingly, in this case, organ malformation was not observed. The patient was discharged approximately 2 weeks after surgery without complication. Conclusions Adult right-sided Bochdalek hernia with strangulation in the absence of hepatic atrophy is a rare entity. Considering the severity of this condition, accurate diagnosis and proper treatment are needed. A tailored operative approach is required on an individual case basis.

Abstract
e15592 Background: Molecular heterogeneity represents a significant hurdle in realizing precision medicine for gastric cancer (GC). Large-scale whole exome sequencing projects have identified distinct molecular subtypes to help define the heterogeneity of GC. However, it remains unclear whether the targeted gene panel-based sequencing can provide optimum targeted therapies and clinical utility in GC. The aim of this study is to generate comprehensive genomic profiling data and classify Japanese GC into actionable clusters associated with targeted therapies. Methods: FFPE tumor tissues were obtained from surgical or biopsy specimens of 207 Japanese patients with GC. Extracted DNA was subjected to genomic sequencing for 435 cancer related genes including 69 druggable genes with FDA approved targeted therapies. Somatic mutations, copy number alterations (SCNA), microsatellite instability (MSI) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection were evaluated using sequencing data. Results: Genomic sequencing identified at least one alteration of 435 genes in 194 pts (94%), and that of 69 druggable genes in 141 pts (68%). The most frequently altered druggable gene was ERBB2 (14%), following BRCA2 (11%) and ATM (10%). We successfully classified 207 tumors into four molecular subtypes, similar to the previously report; EBV (4%), MSI (8%), chromosomal instability (58%) and genomically stable subtype (30%). Frequent alterations of druggable genes ( > 5%) were widely observed through these subtypes. To discover the novel classifications associated with targeted therapies, we classified 207 tumors using mutation rate and hierarchical clustering. We identified a hypermutated group (n = 32), and a remaining non-hypermutated group (n = 175) which were sub-divided into six clusters including five actionable ones; ERBB2 (n = 25), CDKN2A and CDKN2B (n = 10), KRAS (n = 10), BRCA2 (n = 9) and ATM cluster (n = 12). Interestingly, we experienced a case of unresectable GC with a remarkable response for anti-HER2 therapy in the ERBB2 cluster. Conclusions: Genomic sequencing using a 435-gene panel has the potential to provide the information of optimum targeted therapies for upcoming precision medicine in Japanese GC.

Abstract
A 63-year-old man with epigastralgia was referred to our hospital and diagnosed with simultaneous multiple gastric cancers. One lesion was type 2 advanced and the other was type 0- II c early gastric cancer. CT examination revealed 4 regional lymph node metastases. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC)with docetaxel/CDDP/S-1was administered. After 2 courses of NAC, total gastrectomy with D2(-No. 10), lymphadenectomy was performed. The pathological response to NAC was judged to be Grade 3 for advanced gastric cancer and Grade 0 for early gastric cancer. The patient is alive with no evidence of disease during the 10 months after the operation.

Abstract
A 57-year-old man with advanced gastric cancer and multiple liver metastases was referred to our hospital. He underwent a palliative gastrectomy to treat hemorrhage, and S-1 and cisplatin therapy was administered. After 7 courses of chemotherapy, a new liver metastatic lesion and a tumor thrombus in the right portal vein appeared. Moreover, the serum level of ammonia was elevated(296 mg/dL)following a consciousness disorder. Enhanced CT revealed an inferior mesenteric vein to left renal vein shunt, which led to the diagnosis of portal systemic encephalopathy due to portosystemic shunt. Percutaneous transvenous coil embolization was performed. The serum ammonia level decreased, and the encephalopathy disappeared. As a result, he was able to continue chemotherapy.

Abstract
We report a case of advanced gastric cancer(AGC)that was resected for rebleeding after palliative radiotherapy for hemostasis. A 74-year-old man with Stage IV gastric cancer received chemotherapy and achieved stable disease. After 23 months, he experienced continuous bleeding from the tumor due to regrowth. Palliative radiotherapy was conducted to control the bleeding, and the tumor successfully achieved hemostasis. However, 6 weeks later, the patient experienced rebleeding and developed hemostatic shock. We then performed a successful emergency gastrectomy. Bleeding negatively affects quality of life in patients with AGC and is potentially lethal. Although palliative radiotherapy for bleeding of gastric cancer is a safe and useful treatment within a short time frame in cases of rebleeding, emergency gastrectomy may be necessary. Therefore, when we select this treatment, the possibility of subsequent surgical treatment must be considered.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The elucidation of the clinical impact of comorbidities is important to optimize the treatment and follow-up strategy in oesophageal cancer. We aimed to clarify the surgical and long-term outcomes following oesophagectomy in oesophageal cancer patients with comorbidity. METHODS A total of 658 consecutive patients who underwent oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer between 1985 and 2008 at our institution were enrolled. Based on the criteria of comorbidity as we defined it, we retrospectively reviewed and compared the surgical outcomes and survival between the comorbid (n = 251) and non-comorbid group (n = 407). RESULTS Postoperative morbidity and mortality were not significantly different between the two groups. The 5-year overall survival rate of the comorbid group was significantly lower (39.3% vs. 45.2%, adjusted HR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.07-1.62) but the 5-year disease-specific survival rate was not significantly different between the comorbid and non-comorbid groups (53.9% vs. 53.1%, adjusted HR = 1.11, 95% CI: 0.86-1.42). The 5-year incidence rate of death from other diseases in the comorbid group was significantly higher than that in the non-comorbid group (26.7% vs. 14.8%, P < 0.01). The leading cause of death from other diseases was pneumonia. CONCLUSIONS Oesophagectomy in oesophageal cancer patients with comorbidity can be safely performed. However, the overall survival after oesophagectomy in these patients was unfavorable because of the high incidence of death from other diseases, especially pneumonia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prognoses vary substantially among patients with advanced gastric cancer following curative surgery. The aim of the current study was to develop and verify the validity of a novel nomogram that predicts the probability of 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS) in patients who underwent curative resection for stage II/III gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A nomogram to predict 5-year RFS following surgical resection of gastric cancer was constructed based on the data of patients who underwent surgery for primary gastric carcinoma at three institutions in Japan in January 2001-December 2006. Multivariate analysis using a Cox proportional hazards regression model was performed, and the nomogram's predictive accuracy (discrimination) and the agreement between observed outcomes and predictions (calibration) were evaluated by internal validation. RESULTS Multivariate analyses revealed that age at operation, depth of tumor, tumor location, lymph node classification, and presence of combined resection were significant prognostic factors for RFS. In the internal validation, discrimination of the developed nomogram for 5-year RFS was superior to that of the American Joint Committee on Cancer TNM classification (concordance indices of 0.80 versus 0.67; P < 0.001). Moreover, calibration appeared to be accurate. Based on these results, we have created free software to more easily predict 5-year RFS. CONCLUSION We developed and validated a nomogram to predict 5-year RFS after curative surgery for stage II/III gastric cancer. This tool will be useful for the assessing a patient's individual recurrence risk when considering additional therapy in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to determine the prognostic significance of intraoperative peritoneal lavage cytology (CY) at 3 different abdominal cavities and establish the optimal treatment for gastric cancer patients with positive peritoneal cytology (CY1). METHODS A total of 1,039 patients with primary gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent CY at 3 cavities (Douglas' pouch, left subphrenic cavity, and right subhepatic cavity) were enrolled; 116 (11%) patients had at least one positive cavity. We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathologic characteristics and survival of these 116 patients with CY1. RESULTS Seventeen (15%) of the patients had negative cytology at Douglas' pouch but positive cytology at one or both of the other cavities. The 116 patients' overall 2-year survival rate was 22.9%, with the median survival time of 11 months. The overall 2-year survival rates for the patients with positive cytology at 1, 2, and 3 cavities were 41.9%, 35.8%, and 15%, with median survival times of 17, 18, and 9 months, respectively (P < .01). A multivariate analysis revealed that macroscopic type 4 tumor, R2 resection, lymph node metastasis, and postoperative chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors. Among the CY1 patients with type 4 tumors, there was no substantial difference in survival between the patients who underwent R1 or R2 resection, although the statistical power of this subgroup analysis was low. CONCLUSION CY at 3 cavities might be a useful method to decrease the false-negative rate. Palliative gastrectomy for CY1 patients with type 4 tumors is still controversial.

Abstract
The results of the Adjuvant Chemotherapy Trial of S-1 for Gastric Cancer(ACTS-GC)demonstrated that postoperative chemotherapy using S-1 is a standard treatment in Japan for patients with p-Stage II and p-Stage III gastric cancer. We retrospectively reviewed the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy received by 47 patients with p-Stage II and p-Stage III gastric cancer between January 2007 and June 2012. Our hospital is a local university hospital with a high intensive care unit. S-1 monotherapy was administered to 32 patients(adjuvant S-1 group, 68.1%); 22 patients(68.8%)among them completed one year of therapy without any modification to the administration schedule. A total of 8 patients(25.0%)experienced grade 3 adverse events, and 9 patients required a dose reduction, a modification of the administration schedule, or termination of the therapy. S-1 was not administrated to 15 patients(no adjuvant S-1 group, 31.9%); among these patients, 12(80.0%) were not administered S-1 because of their advanced age and comorbidity. The 3-year overall survival rate was 89.3% in the adjuvant S-1 group and 77.1% in the no adjuvant S-1 group. The completion rate of S-1 and survival rate were high for patients in the adjuvant S-1 group, which was similar to the results of the ACTS-GC. However, 25 of 47 patients(53.2%) with p-Stage II and p-Stage III gastric cancer did not improve after sufficient adjuvant therapy; therefore, it is important to develop new treatment strategies for these patients.

Abstract
Intracellular recordings were made from identified neurons from the suboesophageal ganglia of Helix aspersa. The inhibitory action of nine S-Iamide peptides was investigated. Structure-activity studies suggest that all act through a common receptor, which normally requires FVRIamide at the C terminal, with a preferred length of seven amino acids. Substitution at the N-terminal with alanine (A), threonine (T), proline (P) or leucine (L) results in little change in potency, suggesting the N-terminal requirements are relatively flexible. Ion substitution experiments suggest that potassium is the main ion involved in the inhibitory response to S-Iamide application. Studies using a range of compounds, which modify second messenger systems, would suggest that S-Iamide peptides may interact with adenylate cyclase. No evidence was found for an interaction with either guanylate cyclase or nitric oxide synthase.
