Article Abstract

This study investigates the CCR7 chemokine receptor's prognostic value in gastric cancer and its relationship to metastasis. Normal and adjacent tumor cells in 70 patients with gastric cancer were evaluated for CCR7 expression using immunohistochemical staining. The prognostic values of high and low levels of expression of CCR7 were also evaluated by multivariate and univariate analyses. Analysis indicated high expression of CCR7 in 52.9% of tumor tissue. Moreover, high expression of CCR7 was significantly related to metastasis of lymph nodes (p = 0.00). In addition, high expression of CCR7 had a positive correlation to the disease stage (p = 0.00), age of ≥50 years (p = 0.019), male gender (p = 0.024), vascular involvement (p = 0.009), histology of tumor adenocarcinoma (p = 0.00), and poor tumor differentiation (p = 0.00). However, the high expression of the CCR7 marker was not related to the tumor size. Based on our results, CCR7 expression in gastric cancer can be considered a clinical prognostic indicator in patients with gastric cancer.

Gastric cancer (GC) is the third leading cause of cancer mortality globally, often presenting with insidious symptoms that lead to late-stage diagnoses, underscoring the critical need for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. One such avenue is the exploration of ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death implicated in various pathological conditions and malignancies. In this study, we demonstrate that brucine, an alkaloid derived from Strychnos nux-vomica, exerts significant antitumor effects on GC cells both in vitro and in vivo.

Gastric metastasis of breast cancer is rare, and clinical data on its treatment and prognosis are limited at present. Herein, we report a case of gastric metastasis arising from invasive ductal and mucinous carcinoma of the breast and review the literature. A 51-year-old woman was diagnosed with infiltrating and mucinous carcinoma of the right breast accompanied by ipsilateral axillary lymph node and subclavian lymph node metastases.
