Summary: Helicobacter pylori infection can induce gastropathy, and the presence of DupA gene in certain strains may be associated with erosive gastritis but not gastric cancer. This finding is important for understanding the pathogenesis of H. pylori and for the prevention and treatment of erosive gastritis.

Summary: This meta-analysis revealed significant associations between XPD gene polymorphisms rs13181 and rs1799793 with hepatocellular carcinoma risk, particularly in the Chinese population. However, the variants of these genes were not found to be related to gastric cancer risk.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors and severity of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) after gastrectomy. Female sex, diabetes, and distal gastric tumors were identified as independent risk factors for DGE. The DGE group had a longer hospital stay compared to the non-DGE group, and most DGE cases occurred after 1 week following surgery.

Summary: Neoadjuvant and/or perioperative therapy has emerged as a treatment tool to improve patient selection and locoregional control for resectable proximal gastric, gastroesophageal junction, and distal esophageal cancer. Treatment recommendations differ based on histologic type and tumor location. Neoadjuvant chemoradiation with concurrent taxane- or fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy has shown efficacy for both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the distal esophagus and gastroesophageal junction.

Summary: Gastric cancer ranks second in incidence among all malignancies in China, posing a significant threat to human health. This study identified a significant association between the EFNA1 rs4971066 polymorphism and reduced susceptibility to gastric cancer development through the analysis of tagSNPs in GC related genes.

Summary: Blood type has been associated with the risk of gastric cancer, and this study reveals a significant association between blood type and the risk of ESCC. Blood type B and AB were found to have a higher risk for ESCC compared to type O. The study also highlights the association of blood type with gastric noncardia adenocarcinoma, providing important evidence for further understanding the mechanisms of action.

Summary: This study investigates the associations of five polymorphisms in the lncRNA MIF-AS1 with the risk and prognosis of gastric cancer (GC). The results show that rs17004044 variant of MIF-AS1 is associated with increased predisposition and poor prognosis in GC.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between miR-146a, miR-196a2, miR-149, miR-499, and miR-27a gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their expressions with pathological changes in gastric mucosa, and to further analyze the interactions between SNPs and Hp. The results showed that miR-196a2 rs11614913 and miR-27a rs895819 may affect the genetic susceptibility to gastric precancerous lesions (GPL) or gastric cancer (GC). The up-regulation of miR-499, miR-196a2, and miR-27a expression caused by Hp infection may be an important mechanism of gastric carcinogenesis.

Summary: Oral cancer is a common cancer in Taiwanese males, and elevated levels of visfatin, a pro-inflammatory adipocytokine, have been found in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. This study investigated the effects of visfatin gene polymorphisms and carcinogenic lifestyle factors on the risk of developing OSCC, as well as their associations with prognostic factors. The results show that certain visfatin gene polymorphisms and lifestyle factors may be associated with the development and prognosis of OSCC.

Summary: Depth of invasion and lymphovascular invasion were strongly associated with lymph node metastasis in ulcerative early gastric cancer. Endoscopic resection may be applicable for undifferentiated mucosal ulcerative early gastric cancer < 30 mm in size, but further investigation is needed to evaluate its safety.

Summary: This study compared the microbial composition and metabolites of proximal and distal gastric cancers, and discussed the correlation between microbiota and metabolites. The results may reveal the different mechanisms underlying the occurrence and development of proximal and distal gastric cancers, and provide a basis for future treatments.

Summary: This study found that GBAP1 gene variants contribute to reduced risk of gastric cancer in the Chinese Han population, particularly gastric adenocarcinoma. Interestingly, the contribution of GBAP1 variants to GC susceptibility was associated with age, sex, BMI, smoking and drinking.

Summary: This study found that MSLN plays a cancer-promoting role in gastric cancer. Additionally, rs3764247 and rs3764246 were associated with a reduced risk of gastric cancer. It was also observed that rs3764247 was closely related to T stage, vascular infiltration, and HER2 expression. Furthermore, patients with rs3764247 CC genotype had poorer survival compared to patients with AA + AC genotype.
