Article Abstract
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are very rare tumors, accounting for <1% of all malignancies. Leiomyosarcoma (LMS), accounts for 10-20% of STS. Gastric metastasis of LMS is extremely rare, and only a few cases have been reported. In the present report, two clinical cases of LMS with gastric metastasis. In the present cases, the metastases presented as a solitary lesion and was located in the upper body anterior wall in case 1, and body-greater curvature in case 2. It is debatable whether to perform any local treatment for gastric metastasis due to its poor prognosis. However, the progression of metastatic cancer in the stomach can lead to gastric bleeding, abdominal pain, and dysphagia, which may further shorten survival and decrease a patient's quality of life. Therefore, metastasectomy was performed in the present cases. This should be considered if digestive tract symptoms occur during the treatment of LMS.

Background: Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is a challenging malignancy characterized by metastatic tumors with an unidentified primary site, even after extensive pathological and radiographic evaluation. Recent advancements in gene expression profiling and comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) using next-generation sequencing (NGS) have enabled the identification of potential tissue origins, thereby facilitating personalized treatment strategies. Although most cases of CUP present as adenocarcinomas or poorly differentiated tumors, the treatment remains largely empirical, with limited success from molecularly tailored therapies.

Protein phosphorylation modification plays an important role in regulating protein activity. Astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1), an adaptor protein, promotes the progression of various types of cancers by protein-protein interactions. We previously demonstrated that AEG-1 promoted the growth and metastasis of gastric cancer by upregulating the expression of oncogenic eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E).

Gastric cancer (GC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, with metastasis critically impacting prognosis. Splicing factors are key regulators of tumorigenesis, particularly in metastasis. In this exploratory study, we investigated the role and mechanism of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A/B (HNRNPAB) in GC cell invasion and migration.

Pseudoautosomal regions (PARs), located at the ends of sex chromosomes, harbor genes that may play a role in tumor pathology by regulating cell proliferation and the immune microenvironment. Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent and molecularly heterogeneous malignancy of the digestive system. However, studies on the role of PARs-related genes in GC are limited.
