Background: Response to trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy (T-chemo) in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive advanced gastric cancer (AGC) varies widely, highlighting the need for more precise biomarkers beyond conventional HER2 assessment with immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH). The HER2DX ERBB2 messenger RNA (mRNA) assay, a clinically validated genomic test initially developed for early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer, quantitatively measures ERBB2 expression and may improve patient selection for T-chemo in AGC.
Patients And Methods: In a retrospective cohort of 134 patients with AGC, including 58 who received T-chemo, we evaluated whether the HER2DX ERBB2 score defines more accurately HER2 status and correlates with treatment response and survival outcomes in HER2-positive AGC, compared with standard pathology-based methods.

The brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM) within language-eloquent area poses a significant surgical challenge, demanding meticulous planning to ensure both preservation of language function and curative resection. This report details the successful microsurgical resection of a Spetzler-Martin grade II BAVM located in Wernicke's area in a 51-year-old male, ruptured three weeks ago and characterized by mild anomia. Following thorough discussion, the patient elected for microsurgery, providing informed consent, and the procedure was approved by the ethics committee.

Airway stents provide symptomatic relief in malignant central airway stenosis, but carry the risk of migration, which may result in potentially lethal stent ingestion. A 22-year-old man underwent hybrid stent placement for tracheobronchial stenosis caused by an undiagnosed large mediastinal mass. Within 3 weeks after placement, following initial chemotherapy for provisionally diagnosed B-cell lymphoma, the stent migrated and was ingested.

Background: Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) is the gold standard for painless and sedation-free visualization of the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract. However, reviewing WCE video files, which often exceed 60,000 frames, can be labor-intensive and may result in overlooking critical frames. A proficient diagnostic system should offer gastroenterologists high sensitivity and Negative Predictive Value (NPV) to enhance diagnostic accuracy.
