Despite the development of effective antiemetic drugs, nausea and vomiting remain the main side effects associated with cancer chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of acupressure on emesis control in postoperative gastric cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Forty
Stomach cancer mortality still represents a significant proportion of all cancer deaths. The majority of patients with advanced cancer experience cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome with weight loss, reduced appetite, fatigue, and weakness. Neoplastic cachexia is a very common clinical manifestation
Intussusception in adults is uncommon, and it is rare in the descending colon because of its fixation to the retroperitoneum. We herein describe a case of intussusception caused by descending colon cancer. A 74-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for treatment of vomiting and abdominal pain.

METHODS
Prospective, randomised, single-blind, crossover study.
METHODS

OBJECTIVE
To investigate the relationship between polymorphisms of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T or A1298C and the response to fluoropyrimidine (5-FU)-based chemotherapy in advanced stomach cancer (SC).
METHODS
75 cases with advanced SC were analyzed. All patients were
BACKGROUND

OBJECTIVE
To ascertain clinical outcome and complications of self-expandable metal stents for endoscopic palliation of patients with malignant obstruction of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
METHODS
A retrospective review was performed throughout August 2000 to June 2005 of 53 patients with gastric
OBJECTIVE
Although the suicide rate of cancer survivors is higher than that of the general population, few studies have examined the potential risk factors. We assessed suicide ideation (SI) and investigated its correlates among survivors of stomach cancer, which is one of the most prevalent cancers
OBJECTIVE
To compare treatment results between the use of two different radiation fields including and excluding remnant stomach and suggest new target volumes excluding remnant stomach after subtotal gastrectomy (STG) in patients with stomach cancer.
METHODS
We retrospectively analyzed 291 patients
To establish the efficacy and safety of antroduodenal metal stents for the treatment of pyloric syndrome in patients with distal gastric cancer.Data were obtained from 31 patients older than 18 years who had a diagnosis of distal gastric cancer between 2009 Twenty-one patients with advanced gastric cancer were treated with a combination chemotherapy of adriamycin and 5-fluorouracil (AF). The AF regimen consisting of adriamycin 35-50 mg/m2 intravenously on day 1, 5-fluorouracil 350-500 mg/m2 intravenously on days 1-3 was repeated in every three weeks
In the inoperable Borrmann type 4 Gastric cancer, which is to be used as a synonym of gastric scirrhus clinically, it is regrettable but effect is hardly expected from radiotherapy or immunotherapy, and the treatment relies entirely on chemotherapy. We have reported the results of our questionnaires
Eighteen patients with progressive/locally recurrent cancer of the stomach were given therapy with MMC, ADM, CDDP, Etoposide (VP-16), and 5'DFUR (MAC-VD therapy). Drugs were administered intravenously with MMC 10 mg/m2, ADM 20 mg/m2, and CDDP 50 mg/m2 on day 1; orally with etoposide 100 mg/day for
OBJECTIVE
The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is the most common site of extra-nodal lymphoma. Most of these lymphomas arise from mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). We attempt in this study to define the natural history and treatment outcome of this type of lymphoma.
METHODS
We carried out a
Nine (six male and three female) patients with unresectable liver metastasis of gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma were treated by two-route chemotherapy using cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP) and sodium thiosulfate (STS). Of the nine patients, two had colon cancer, three had stomach cancer and the
