Abstract:
A 76-year-old female patient was diagnosed with inoperable gastric cancer with distant lymph node metastasis(cT3N2M1 [LYM], cStage Ⅳ), for which she received S-1 chemotherapy(orally administered on days 1-14 ofa 28-day courses). The patient received a total of4 2 treatment courses. After an initial phase of stable disease due to chemotherapy, she eventually showed progressive disease. S-1 chemotherapy was discontinued. Because ofher social background, she decided against any further chemotherapy. After 1 year, she underwent metallic stent insertion through the gastric cancer, which enabled her to consume food. She is currently alive as of 5 years and 3 months from the date of first diagnosis.

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
