Article Abstract
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is intriguing because it is expected to further expand the indication of endoscopic resection (ER) for cT1N0M0 gastric cancer and as an additional operation for post-ER gastric cancer. The aim of our study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis on the feasibility and diagnostic value of SLNB technique in patients with cT1N0M0 gastric cancer. Eligible studies were systematically searched in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from inception to April 2020. A random-effect model was used to pool the data, and subgroup analysis was used to explain the heterogeneities. A total of 22 clinical studies (1993 patients with cT1N0M0 gastric cancer) were included. The pooled SLN identification rate, sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals were 0.99 (0.99-1.00), 0.92 (0.88-0.95), 1.00 (1.00-1.00), and 832.8 (395.5-1753.6), respectively. The summary receiver operator characteristic displayed a test accuracy of 99.3%. Subgroup analysis found an improved SLN sensitivity for studies with the mean number of SLNs > 4 and studies stained with a combination of hematoxylin-eosin with immunohistochemistry (HE + IHC). Further, studies using the basin dissection were associated with a higher SLN identification rate. The current meta-analysis provides data that favors the use of SLNB for predicting the status of lymph node metastasis in patients with cT1N0M0 gastric cancer. However, establishing standard procedure and suitable criteria for further application and optimization of SLNB is urgently needed.

Objective: Clarify the long-term outcomes of laparoscopic-assisted pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (LAPPG) compared to conventional laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy with billroth I anastomosis (LADGBI) for early gastric cancer(pT1N0M0).
Methods: Patients with cT1N0M0 cancer located in the middle third of the stomach and not suitable for endoscopic submucosal dissection were randomized to undergo LAPPG or LADGBI.
Results: Between August 2017 and October 2019, a total 88 patients (pT1N0M0) were analyzed.
Is There Bias in the Assessment of Contraindications for Resection? Disparities in the Surgical Management of Early-Stage Esophageal Cancer.

Background: Resection is considered the standard of care for patients with localized esophageal cancer who are "physiologically fit". Patients who do not meet this standard are considered contraindicated to receive surgery. We hypothesized that among patients with non-metastatic esophageal cancer, the consideration of contraindication status would vary based on clinical and demographic factors and would vary between institutions.

Importance: Radical gastric cancer surgery can cause functional and physiological disorders due to the resection of perigastric vagus nerves. Few studies have used intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring and indocyanine green (ICG) labeling to preserve the perigastric vagus nerve and to evaluate the corresponding effects.
Objective: To assess the feasibility and effects of vagus nerve preservation using neurophysiologic monitoring and ICG labeling during laparoscopic distal gastrectomy in patients with early distal gastric cancer.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of laparoscopic pylorus preserving gastrectomy (LPPG) and laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) for treating early gastric cancer (EGC) in a multicenter randomized controlled trial with 256 patients.
- Results showed no significant difference in the incidence of dumping syndrome after one year (13.2% for LPPG vs. 15.8% for LDG), but LPPG had lower rates of gallstone formation and better preservation of hemoglobin and serum protein levels.
- While LPPG had more instances of reflux esophagitis and delayed gastric emptying, overall survival and quality of life after three years were similar between the two
Does clinical T1N0 GGN really require checking for distant metastasis during initial staging for lung cancer?

Background: Accurate clinical staging is crucial for selection of optimal oncological treatment strategies in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although brain MRI, bone scintigraphy and whole-body PET/CT play important roles in detecting distant metastases, there is a lack of evidence regarding the indication for metastatic staging in early NSCLCs, especially ground-grass nodules (GGNs). Our aim was to determine whether checking for distant metastasis is required in cases of clinical T1N0 GGN.
