The Evidence for Evolution02:55

The Evidence for Evolution

Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.
Introduction to Epidemiology01:26

Introduction to Epidemiology

Epidemiology, known as the cornerstone of public health, involves studying the distribution and determinants of health-related events in defined populations and applying these insights to control health issues. This is essential for understanding how diseases spread, identifying populations at greater risk, and implementing measures to control or prevent outbreaks. Epidemiology addresses not only infectious diseases but also non-communicable conditions like cancer and cardiovascular disease,...
Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?
Eyewitness Memory01:22

Eyewitness Memory

Eyewitness memory refers to the recollection of events by someone who has directly witnessed them, often serving as critical evidence in legal settings. This type of memory is commonly used in criminal cases where a witness describes details like a suspect's appearance, clothing, or behavior during a crime. However, despite its perceived reliability, eyewitness memory is prone to significant errors.
One such error is memory distortion, which occurs because human memory does not function like a...
Criteria for Causality: Bradford Hill Criteria - II01:28

Criteria for Causality: Bradford Hill Criteria - II

The Bradford Hill criteria serve as guidelines for establishing causative links in epidemiological research. Beyond Strength, Consistency, Specificity, and Temporality, key criteria also include Biological Gradient, Plausibility, Coherence, Experiment, and Analogy. These principles assist scientists in assessing the likelihood of causation in complex biological contexts. Below is a summary of these concepts:
Statistical Significance01:37

Statistical Significance

Once data is collected from both the experimental and the control groups, a statistical analysis is conducted to find out if there are meaningful differences between the two groups. A statistical analysis determines how likely any difference found is due to chance (and thus not meaningful). In psychology, group differences are considered meaningful, or significant, if the odds that these differences occurred by chance alone are 5 percent or less. Stated another way, if we repeated this...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Evidence-Based Medicine

Background:

  • There is no established consensus on optimal surveillance strategies for patients post-curative gastric cancer surgery.
  • International guidelines vary widely, reflecting a lack of robust evidence regarding surveillance mode, duration, and intensity.
  • The prognostic benefit of early recurrence detection in gastric cancer is questionable due to poor survival rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and discuss the current evidence base for follow-up practices after curative resection of gastric cancer.
  • To highlight the lack of consensus and evidence supporting specific surveillance protocols.
  • To address the reevaluation of surveillance practices driven by evidence-based medicine and healthcare efficiency concerns.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of current evidence on gastric cancer surveillance post-curative resection.
  • Analysis of international guidelines and expert recommendations for patient follow-up.
  • Discussion of the limitations and challenges in establishing evidence-based surveillance protocols.

Main Results:

  • Significant variation exists in recommended surveillance schedules among experts and institutions.
  • Most guidelines lack strong evidence, often failing to specify details of surveillance intensity or duration.
  • Primary endpoints in current follow-up often focus solely on recurrence detection or mortality.

Conclusions:

  • The current evidence base is insufficient to support a definitive consensus on gastric cancer surveillance post-curative surgery.
  • A critical reevaluation of surveillance practices is needed, considering evidence-based medicine and healthcare economics.
  • Further research is required to establish effective and efficient follow-up protocols for improved patient outcomes.
