RESUMEN
Recent data support the role of S100A10 in tumorigenesis. In this study, we evaluated the value of S100A10 positivity as a possible biomarker in colorectal cancer. We evaluated S100A10 positivity by immunohistochemistry in a large population of colorectal cancer patients (n = 882). The relationships between S100A10 positivity and clinicopathological features and clinical outcome were analyzed. There were 36 % (319/882) tumors positive for S100A10 in all colorectal cancer samples. In contrast, normal colorectal epithelium was negative for S100A10 among all 562 specimens of adjacent normal mucosa. S100A10 positivity was correlated with poor differentiation (p = 0.0012) and disease stage (p = 0.003). S100A10 positivity was significantly correlated with shortened specific [log-rank p < 0.001; multivariate hazard ratio (HR), 1.49; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.09-2.04] and overall survival (log-rank p = 0.0012; multivariate HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.06-1.73). Knockdown of S100A10 by siRNA significantly reduced the proliferation, migration, and invasion capacity of colorectal cancer cell lines. Our results suggest a role for S100A10 as a prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target in colorectal cancer.

The intricate involvement of Rho GTPases in a multitude of human malignancies and their diverse array of biological functions has garnered substantial attention within the scientific community. However, their expression pattern and potential role in gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear. In this study, we successfully identified two distinct subtypes associated with Rho GTPase-related gene (RGG) through consensus clustering analysis, which exhibited significant disparities in overall survival and the tumor microenvironment. Subsequently, an extensively validated risk model termed RGGscore was meticulously constructed to prognosticate the outcomes of GC patients. This model was further assessed and validated using an external cohort. Notably, the high RGGscore group was indicative of a poorer prognosis. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses unveiled the RGGscore as an autonomous prognostic indicator for GC patients. Subsequent external validation, utilizing two cohorts of patients who underwent immunotherapy, demonstrated a significant correlation between a low RGGscore and improved response to immunotherapy. Additionally, the expression levels of three genes associated with RGGscore were examined using qRT-PCR. Taken together, a pioneering RGGscore model has been successfully established, showcasing its potential efficacy in offering valuable therapeutic guidance for GC.

BACKGROUND & AIM: Gastric cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. We have invented a novel hand-assist device that allows the placement of surgical instruments and the maneuvering of the surgeon's hand, and we have established a new hand-assisted laparoscopic technique called Three United Laparoscopic Surgery (TULS) for laparoscopic dissection of advanced gastric cancer. The present study aimed at exploring the usefulness of TULS in the treatment of advanced gastric cardia cancer. METHOD: A retrospective study on 100 patients with advanced gastric cardia cancer admitted from January 2014 to June 2015 was done. There were 38 cases of TULS, 30 cases of laparotomy, and 32 cases of laparoscopy-assisted surgery. Statistical comparisons between three treatment groups in operative time, incision length, amount of bleeding, number of lymph nodes dissected, time to flatus after surgery, rate of postoperative complications, hospital stay, and expense were done. RESULTS: For lymph node dissection, there were no significant differences between TULS, laparotomy, and laparoscopy-assisted surgery. However, compared with conventional laparotomy, TULS and laparoscopy-assisted surgery were found to be able to minimize incision length, reduce blood loss during surgery, lower postoperative complication rate, and shorten time to flatus and hospital stay. The differences were statistically significant (P < .05). The operative time of TULS was significantly shorter than that of the laparoscopy-assisted surgery (P < .05), and it was comparable to that of laparotomy. CONCLUSION: TULS is as efficient as laparotomy in lymph node dissection, and it shows the advantages of minimally invasive surgery. It can be considered a novel and promising surgical intervention for treatment of advanced gastric cancer.
