There are only a few effective molecular targeted agents for advanced unresectable or recurrent advanced gastric cancer (AGC), which has a poor prognosis with a median survival time of less than 14 months. Focusing on phosphorylation signaling in cancer cells, we have been developing deep phosphoproteome analysis from minute endoscopic biopsy specimens frozen within 20 s of collection. Phosphoproteomic analysis of 127 fresh-frozen endoscopic biopsy samples from untreated patients with AGC revealed three subtypes reflecting different cellular signaling statuses. Subsequent serial biopsy analysis has revealed the dynamic mesenchymal transitions within cancer cells, along with the concomitant rewiring of the kinome network, ultimately resulting in the conversion to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) subtype throughout treatment. We present our investigation of intracellular signaling related to the EMT in gastric cancer and propose therapeutic approaches targeting AXL. This study also provides a wealth of resources for the future development of treatments and biomarkers for AGC.

Clinical practice guidelines for esophagogastric junction cancer (EGJ GLs) were published in 2023. In order to evaluate how EGJ GLs have been adopted into clinical practice worldwide and to identify any outstanding clinical questions to be addressed in the next edition, this survey was conducted. An electronic questionnaire was developed.

Alterations in the structure of the Golgi apparatus play a pivotal role in cancer progression and invasion. A better understanding of how Golgi morphology regulates the metastatic potential of cancer cells could help identify potential treatment strategies. In this study, we investigated how specific structural variations in the Golgi, particularly fragmentation and condensation, influence the malignancy of gastric cancer using human cell lines, xenograft mouse models, and human patient tissue samples.

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.
