Fluorescence-Guided Laparoscopy after Oral Hypericin Administration for Staging of Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer-A Pilot Study.

Plant-derived hypericin was not detectable in peritoneal tissue, making fluorescence-guided laparoscopy (FGL) ineffective in detecting peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer staging. More research needed to optimize hypericin concentrations for FGL effectiveness.

Selenochemical modification of low molecular weight polysaccharides from Grifola frondosa and the mechanism of their inhibitory effects on gastric cancer cells.

Selenium enhances LMW-GFP polysaccharide's antitumor effect by binding to it, significantly improving in vitro activity against BGC-823 and MFC cells, suggesting potential for cancer treatment and selenium supplementation development.
