GASTRIC CANCER (GC)

This study tested whether adding intravenous (IV) nutrition to standard oral supplements helps patients who had stomach cancer surgery recover better. 55 adults were randomly assigned to get either the combined nutrition or standard care. The main goal was to see if the combo app…

This study looks at whether a 4-week pre-surgery program of exercise, nutrition advice, and mental support, combined with a standard enhanced recovery plan, can reduce complications after stomach cancer surgery. About 136 patients aged 18-75 who had chemotherapy before surgery wi…

This study looked at whether applying a topical diclofenac gel to the hands and feet could prevent or delay hand-foot syndrome in patients with colorectal or gastric cancer taking capecitabine. About 150 patients were observed at two cancer centers in Turkey. The goal was to see …

This study created a new tool called the SAH Index to fairly evaluate how well hospitals and surgeons perform gastric cancer surgery. Gastric cancer is serious and often requires major surgery, but comparing results is tricky because patients have different health risks. The rese…

This study looked at whether an AI computer program could suggest cancer treatments that match what experts recommend. Researchers reviewed medical records of 30 people with stomach, colon, or pancreatic cancer. They entered key details into the AI and compared its suggestions to…

This study looked at whether two simple frailty questionnaires (G8 and VES-13) can predict serious side effects from chemotherapy in people 65 and older with gastrointestinal cancers. Researchers followed 72 patients receiving standard chemotherapy and checked their frailty, nutr…

This completed study from Fudan University used a deep learning model to predict whether stomach cancer will come back after surgery. Researchers analyzed data from 5,000 patients across multiple hospitals in Eastern Asia. The model showed strong ability to identify early recurre…

This completed study looked at 179 patients with advanced stomach cancer who had chemotherapy and surgery. Researchers used CT scans and genetic data from tumors to build a model that predicts how long patients might stay cancer-free. The goal was to improve survival predictions,…
