AIM: To investigate the trend in gastric cancer surgery in the context of rapid therapeutic
advancement in Japan and East Asia. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on …

Background Esophageal cancer is one of the leading types of cancer, and it is a particularly
deadly form of malignancy. TNM classification is the most common staging system, but it has …

Background The two major staging systems for gastric cancer, the Japanese classification of
gastric cancer (JCGC) and the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) TNM system, are …

The directional anisotropies in the scintillation responses of the anthracene and trans-stilbene
scintillators to fast neutrons have been measured by changing the direction of the incident …

The aim of this study was to determine risk factors for prognosis in stage IV gastric cancer
after gastrectomy. Surgical resection of stage IV gastric cancer has recently been proposed as …

The cross sections of the (n, n′γ) reactions of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Ag, Cd and Sn have
been measured in the energy range from 0.3 MeV to 2.6 MeV, using a ring-geometry …

Background Perioperative transfusion (POT) is a negative prognostic factor for outcome in
cancer patients undergoing surgery, and splenectomy (SPL) has been suggested to help …

Advanced gastric cancer is not controlled by surgery alone, although early gastric cancer
can be cured by curative gastrectomy. The TNM factor, representing physical tumor spread, …

The 94 Mo(n, n′γ) reaction has been studied in the neutron energy range 1.5–4.0 MeV.
Neutron inelastic scattering cross sections for levels up to an excitation energy of 2.6 MeV have …

The energy levels of 133 Cs have been studied by means of the (n, n′γ) reaction in the
energy range 0.5–1.2 MeV. A 17 cm 3 Ge(Li) detector, associated with a pulsed-beam time-of-…
