background: combination chemotherapy is accepted as a high efficacy treatment for gastric cancer, whereas choice of standard treatment is unclear. multiple chemotherapeutic regimens have been used to achieve higher efficacy and lower toxicity. this study was designed to evaluate the treatment results of advanced gastric cancer with capecitabine and oxaliplatin regimen. subjects and methods : al...

objective(s): expression of her2 in gastric carcinoma has direct prognostic and therapeutic implications in patient management. the aim of this study is to determine whether a relationship exists between standardized uptake value (suv) and expression of her2 in advanced gastric carcinoma. methods: we analyzed the 18f-fdg pet/ct results of 109 patients that underwent gastrectomy for advanced gas...

Background: Gastric cancer is an important health problem across the world. Chemotherapy in combination with local treatment is standard treatment for locally advanced gastroesophageal cancers. The purpose of this investigation was evaluation of response and tolerability to neoadjuvant EOX regimen in locoregionally advanced gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: patients with locoregionally adv...

cancer of the stomach carries poor prognosis. surgery is the best treatment for gastric cancer. prediction of survival depends on the stage at the time of presentation. fluoroscopy, sonography, and computerized tomography are used for advanced gastric cancers staging, but they are not accurate enough to grade advanced gastric cancers. laparoscopic findings of lesions under direct vision, are ma...

abstract malignant spermatic cord tumor is rare. spermatic cord metastasis is less common and the prognosis of these patients is poor. here we report a case of unilateral spermatic cord metastasis from advanced gastric cancer. a 57-year-old male underwent total gastrectomy due to advanced gastric cancer. three years later, a painless hard palpable mass in the left inguinal area developed and th...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to investigate the prognostic significance of tumor size for 5-year survival rate in patients with gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 1,697 patients with gastric cancer, who underwent potentially curative gastrectomy, were evaluated. Patients were divided into 4 groups as follows, according to the median size of early and advanced gastric can...
