Journal ArticleDOI

Hideto Sonoda,Shunji Kohnoe,Shunji Kohnoe,Tetsuro Yamazato,Yuji Satoh,Gouki Morizono,Kentaro Shikata,Makoto Morita,Akihiro Watanabe,Masaru Morita,Yoshihiro Kakeji,Fumio Inoue,Yoshihiko Maehara +12 more
TL;DR: This study shows that a specific cancer scent does indeed exist and that cancer-specific chemical compounds may be circulating throughout the body and these odour materials may become effective tools in CRC screening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Transforming Growth Factor-β1 in Invasion and Metastasis in Gastric Carcinoma
Yoshihiko Maehara,Yoshihiro Kakeji,Akira Kabashima,Yasunori Emi,Akihiro Watanabe,Kohei Akazawa,Hideo Baba,Shunji Kohnoe,Keizo Sugimachi +8 more
TL;DR: Transforming growth factor-beta1 is closely related to the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer, and production of TGF- beta1 in the tumor does not contribute to the total amount of T GF-beta 1 in the blood circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Factors Associated with Surgical Site Infection in Upper and Lower Gastrointestinal Surgery
Akihiro Watanabe,Shunji Kohnoe,Rinshun Shimabukuro,Takeharu Yamanaka,Yasunori Iso,Hideo Baba,Hidefumi Higashi,Hiroyuki Orita,Yasunori Emi,Ikuo Takahashi,Daisuke Korenaga,Yoshihiko Maehara +11 more
TL;DR: Strict asepsis and minimal blood loss were associated with a lower incidence of surgical site infection following gastrointestinal surgery, suggesting the use of absorbable suture material may be involved in reducing the risk of SSI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infiltration of dendritic cells in relation to tumor invasion and lymph node metastasis in human gastric cancer
Shunichi Tsujitani,Yoshihiro Kakeji,Akihiro Watanabe,Shunji Kohnoe,Yoshihiko Maehara,Keizo Sugimachi +5 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that infiltrating dendritic cells do not prevent the spread of tumor invasion but do prevent nodal involvement; therefore, for patients with a gastric cancer emerging from the serosa, the prognosis will be good.
Journal Article
Galectin-3 expression is a potent prognostic marker in colorectal cancer.
Kazuya Endo,Shunji Kohnoe,Eiji Tsujita,Akihiro Watanabe,Hideaki Nakashima,Hideo Baba,Yoshihiko Maehara +6 more
TL;DR: Galectin-3 expression was a prognostic factor independent of Dukes' stage and lymph node metastasis by multivariate analysis and is proposed as an independent factor for prognosis in colorectal cancer.
