Furthermore, we will briefly discuss endoscopic treatment, chemotherapy, and surgical treatment for GEJ cancer. Looking ahead, the reclassification of GEJ cancers using the Kyoto international consensus, coupled with comprehensive molecular analyses of tumors, promises to yield valuable insights.
Our results show that embedding choice has a substantial and consistent impact on OS prediction accuracy, robustness, and interpretability across cancer types, with domain-specific and foundation models outperforming conventional convolutional baselines. These findings provide evidence-based practical guidelines for designing robust and generalizable WSI-based survival prediction pipelines in computational pathology.
This case highlights the interplay of congenital foregut anomalies, chronic inflammation, and SRC development, and underscores the critical importance of meticulous biopsy handling and personalized endoscopic care. Tailored surveillance may be appropriate in select early-stage SRC cases where localization is uncertain and imaging is negative.
Background: Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) has become a clinically relevant therapeutic target in gastric adenocarcinoma (GC), with zolbetuximab now approved for use in CLDN18.2-positive, HER2-negative advanced disease... CLDN18.2 shows excellent intratumoral reproducibility and a stable biological profile in GC, supporting its diagnostic reliability in biopsies and value as a predictive biomarker. A subset with extreme expression demonstrated aggressive features, suggesting a potential "claudin-driven" phenotype requiring further study.
