TL;DR: A Phase I/II trial of radiotherapy administered concurrently with TS-1 plus cisplatin combined with radiotherapy at a fixed dose in Japanese patients with clinical resectable type 4 or large type 3 gastric cancer to determine the recommended dose and evaluate the efficacy and safety.

TL;DR: This prospective phase II trial assessing the efficacy of panitumumab monotherapy in the elderly patients with wild-type RAS unresectable CRC aims to determine the disease control rate.

TL;DR: Songun et al. as discussed by the authors showed that D2 lymph node dissection has become a standard surgical technique after its usefulness was demonstrated by Sasako and colleagues as well as based on the findings of a 15-year follow-up in the Dutch Gastric Cancer Group assessed by Songun and colleagues.

TL;DR: It is indicated that fetal hepatocyte-derived culture medium elicits the induction of differentiation of adipose tissue-derived cells to bile duct cell lineages, but not to hepatocyte lineages in mice, which indicates that fetal cells possess the multi potentials, which are already absent in adults, and may be useful for regenerative medicine in future.
