The world-wide incidence of gastric cancer is decreasing, especially in high-risk populations such as the Icelanders. We examined retrospectively I ,040 specimens of resected gastric cancers from a 30-year period, 1960-1989. The decrease in incidence in both sexes involved mainly the largest histolo

## Abstract ## Background and Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate whether microscopic positive margins are detrimental to the outcome of gastric cancer patients treated with extended (D2/3) gastrectomy. ## Methods Among 2,740 consecutive patients who had undergone extended gastre
Bombesin (BBS) and its mammalian equivalent, gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), exhibit diverse biological functions, including that of a neurotransmitter, a regulator of gastrointestinal hormone release, and a trophic factor for various normal and neoplastic tissues. Bombesin stimulates the growth of
## Abstract ## Background: Sentinel node biopsies (SNBs) have been clinically applied in melanoma and breast cancer for limited lymphadenectomy. However, the use of SNB remains controversial in gastric cancer due to unsatisfactory sensitivity and variability. This metaβanalysis was performed to de
