Gastric cancer is still a prevalent and lethal cancer. Gastric hypoacidity and gastritis have long been recognized in the pathogenesis. The identification of as the main cause of gastritis leading to peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer was a breakthrough.

Summary Background Data: Liver metastases are common in neuroendocrine neoplasms and impair prognosis. A broad therapeutic armamentarium has evolved over recent decades but there remains uncertainty regarding optimal treatment selection and sequencing.
Introduction: The PROSTest is a novel machine learning-based liquid biopsy assay that functions as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in prostate cancer (PCa). The algorithm outcome (scored 0-100) has a cutoff of >50 to indicate PCa. In this study, we evaluated the screening utility of the test in comparison with the commonly used PSA test.

Materials And Methods: We assessed 1055 PCas (public microarray data sets) to identify putative mRNA biomarkers. Specificity was confirmed against 32 different solid and hematological cancers from The Cancer Genome Atlas (n = 10,990).
