Summary: This study compared the effects of D1 and D2 gastrectomy on gastric cancer patients, showing that D2 surgery can significantly improve survival and reduce gastric cancer-related mortality in patients with advanced disease and lymph node metastasis. D1 surgery may be more effective in older patients and early-stage disease.

Summary: Early diagnosis of disease recurrence among asymptomatic patients did not affect the overall survival of gastric cancer patients treated with curative intent. Additional evidence is needed to support the use of intensive surveillance strategies in this context.

Summary: This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of bursectomy and omentectomy alone in gastric cancer surgery. The results showed that bursectomy did not improve the overall survival rate of patients with gastric cancer, and it also increased the risk of intra-abdominal infection.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of a cancer screening program on the long-term survival of gastric cancer patients in Korea. The results show that screened patients have a higher survival rate compared to never-screened patients. Specifically, patients who underwent upper endoscopy had a lower risk of gastric cancer-specific mortality compared to those who underwent upper gastrointestinal series. Furthermore, patients who were screened within 2 years before diagnosis had a 35% reduction in gastric cancer death risk.

Summary: The study did not find any survival benefit from regular follow-up after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer, and it suggests the need for a prospective randomized controlled trial to determine the survival benefit.

Summary: This study traced the long-term survival outcome of patients who visited the emergency department after suicide attempts. It found that patients who complied with the follow-up case management program had a lower mortality rate caused by suicide.

Summary: The study findings suggest that there is currently no evidence to support a positive impact of PIFU on patient survival or progression free survival. However, there are some differences between PIFU and hospital follow-up in terms of patient satisfaction, psychological morbidity, and cost effectiveness in the short term.

Summary: The Ovarian Cancer Follow-up Study (OOPS) is a large prospective cohort study aimed to explore the relationship between biological, clinical, environmental, and lifestyle factors with the prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer. The study collected data and biological samples from a total of 703 patients and conducted follow-up through passive and active modes.

Summary: For patients with remnant gastric cancer (RGC), the lymph node ratio (NR) is more accurate than pN staging in predicting prognosis, along with tumor size and lymphovascular invasion being significant factors. When the retrieved lymph node (RLN) count is 15, NR serves as an important and independent prognostic index for RGC, providing a more accurate prediction of patient outcomes.

Summary: This study compared the effects of 3D and 2D laparoscopic radical gastrectomy on long-term prognosis and recurrence patterns in gastric cancer patients, finding no significant differences between the two techniques. This provides more evidence supporting the use of 3D technology in gastric cancer surgery.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the lymph node distribution in patients with background remnant gastric cancer (RGC). The results showed that the incidence of lymph node involvement was highest at Station 19, 11p, 3, 4sb, and 7. Dissection of Station 3, 4sb, and 4sa is crucial for surgical treatment with curative purposes.

Summary: Curative therapy for gastric cancer usually includes perioperative chemotherapy and radical gastrectomy. The role of omentectomy in improving survival remains uncertain. This study presents the follow-up data of the OMEGA study.

Summary: The lymph node ratio (LNR) and log odds of positive LNs (LODDS) were found to be independent risk factors for recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with remnant gastric cancer (RGC). Even in patients with a small number of harvested LNs, LNR remains a significant prognostic indicator.

Summary: Pre-diagnosis dairy product consumption, including protein, fat, and calcium intake, was associated with higher mortality among ovarian cancer survivors. Specific components of dairy intake such as protein, fat, and calcium were linked to increased mortality among patients.

Summary: "This study aims to explore the characteristics that may affect gastric cancer survivors' choices concerning follow-up care, understand how survivors make trade-offs among different service options using discrete choice experiments, and determine how their needs and preferences vary across regions due to economic, political, technological, and cultural factors."
