CircRNA circSLIT2 is a novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for gastric cancer.
Many diseases can mimic the symptoms of gastric cancer (GC). Therefore, misdiagnosis of GC is common. Our preliminary sequencing analysis revealed the altered expression of circSLIT2 in GC. In this study, we further explored the role of circSLIT2 in GC. ⋯ Increased circSLIT2 accumulation may serve as a novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for GC.

Multicenter StudyStandardization of rectal cancer surgery and bowel preparation in Austria : A multicenter nationwide survey by the Austrian Society of Surgical Oncology.
Standardized management of colorectal cancer is crucial for achieving an optimal clinical and oncological outcome. The present nationwide survey was designed to provide data about the surgical management of rectal cancer patients. In addition, we evaluated the standard approach for bowel preparation in all centers in Austria performing elective colorectal surgery. ⋯ Considering the low number of low anterior resections performed in each hospital per year in Austria, defined centers for rectal cancer surgery are still scarce. Many hospitals did not transfer recommended bowel preparation guidelines into clinical practice.
