Article Abstract

The Western Canadian Gastrointestinal Cancer Consensus Conference (WC-5) convened virtually on 10 February 2021. The WC-5 is an interactive multidisciplinary conference attended by health care professionals from across Western Canada (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba) who are involved in the care of patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists; pathologists; radiologists; and allied health care professionals participated in presentation and discussion sessions for the purpose of developing the recommendations presented here. This consensus statement addresses current issues in the management of hepatocellular cancer (HCC). Recommendations have been made for the transition from local to systemic therapy and the optimal sequencing of systemic regimens in the management of HCC.

Microbiome dysbiosis in reflux esophagitis has been extensively studied. However, limited research has examined microbiota across different segments of the upper gastrointestinal tract in reflux esophagitis. In this study, we investigated microbial alterations in three esophageal segments (upper, middle, and lower) and the gastric fundus of reflux esophagitis patients and healthy controls.

Background: Barrett's mucosa in the remnant esophagus (BMRE) is often identified after gastric pull-up reconstruction after esophagectomy. This study aimed to determine the clinical characteristics of BMRE and the factors that affect the development of BMRE.

Methods: The characteristics of BMRE and factors affecting its occurrence were studied in patients with subtotal esophagectomy and gastric pull-up reconstruction who survived at least 3 years after esophageal cancer surgery and who were evaluated by endoscopy.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of combining PD-1 inhibitors with chemotherapy in conversion therapy for patients with stage IV gastric cancer and to determine the populations most likely to benefit from this regimen.

Methods: Data from patients with stage IV gastric cancer who received conversion therapy with PD-1 inhibitors combined with chemotherapy between January 2018 and December 2022 at multiple centers were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who underwent conversion surgery were categorized into a surgery group, while those who did not were placed into a palliative group.

Targeted protein degraders hold potential as therapeutic agents to target conventionally 'undruggable' proteins. Here, we develop a high-throughput screen, DEath FUSion Escaper (DEFUSE), to identify small-molecule protein degraders. By conjugating the protein of interest to a fast-acting triggerable death protein, this approach translates target protein degradation into a cell survival phenotype to illustrate the presence of degraders.
