Article Abstract
Background And Aims: To investigate the expression and prognostic significance of Krüppel-like factor 17 (KLF17) in human gastric cancer.
Methods: KLF17 expressions in 158 paraffin-embedded gastric cancer samples were analyzed using immunohistochemistry. In addition, KLF17 expressions patterns in three fresh gastric cancer tissues and noncancerous gastric mucosa were examined by Western blotting. The correlation between KLF17 expression and clinicopathological factors as well as patient survival was investigated.
Results: Immunohistochemical staining data indicated that KLF17 expression was significantly decreased in 98 of 158 gastric adenocarcinoma cases. Reduced KLF17 expression in fresh gastric cancer tissues was confirmed by Western blotting. Reduced expression of KLF17 was strongly correlated with tumor size, pN stage and lymphovascular invasion. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified KLF17 expression as an independent prognostic factor for both overall survival (HR = 0.481, 95% CI = 0.225-0.665, p = 0.009) and disease-free survival (HR = 0.438, 95% CI = 0.254-0.758, p = 0.003).
Conclusion: The reduced expression of KLF17 protein in gastric cancer was correlated with tumor size, pN stage and lymphovascular invasion and was an independent predictor for poor survival in patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer.

Background: Gastric cancer epidemiology evolved rapidly in the last century, shifting from being one of the main causes of cancer-related death to the sixth in high-income countries.
Methods: We conducted a narrative review on gastric cancer epidemiology. Our review focused on trends of gastric cancer and its relationship with Helicobacter pylori infection; cardia and noncardia gastric cancer risk factors; early onset gastric cancer; second primary cancers in patients with gastric cancer; and implementation of gastric cancer prevention strategies.

Objective: To evaluate the burden and trends of digestive system cancers in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) globally between 1990 and 2021.
Methods: Data were extracted from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (1990-2021). We analyzed global, regional, and national disease burdens by calculating the age-standardized incidence (ASIR), mortality (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for AYAs.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a malignant tumor originating from the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa. The 5-methylcytosine (mC) modification refers to the addition of a methyl group to the fifth carbon atom of cytosine in RNA molecules. This study aimed to investigate the role of NOL1/NOP2/SUN domain (NSUN)6 in GC and its underlying molecular mechanisms.

Background: The association between preoperative liver function and short-term outcomes after gastrointestinal cancer surgery is unknown. This study investigated the impact of Child-Pugh score-based preoperative liver dysfunction on short-term outcomes after distal gastrectomy and right hemicolectomy.
Materials And Methods: We included patients who underwent distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer or right hemicolectomy for colon cancer between 2018 and 2022 from the Japanese National Clinical Database.
