Abstract
Well-recognized experts in the field of gastric cancer discussed during the 12th European Society Medical Oncology (ESMO)/World Congress Gastrointestinal Cancer (WCGIC) in Barcelona many important and controversial topics on the diagnosis and management of patients with gastric cancer. This article summarizes the recommendations and expert opinion on gastric cancer. It discusses and reflects on the regional differences in the incidence and care of gastric cancer, the definition of gastro-esophageal junction and its implication for treatment strategies and presents the latest recommendations in the staging and treatment of primary and metastatic gastric cancer. Recognition is given to the need for larger and well-designed clinical trials to answer many open questions.

Abstract
Whole body optical imaging using bioluminescence or fluorescence is one of the most rapidly emerging technologies to non-invasively follow all kinds of molecular and cellular processes in small animals. Using tomographic approaches it is now also possible to get better quantitative data. Due to its sensitivity and simplicity it is now also widely used in drug development and drug screening. Finally, using near infrared fluorescent probes that have much deeper penetration also opens up new exciting applications such as intra-operative image guided surgery for sentinel lymph node mapping and radical resection of tumours. Recent advances in imaging strategies that reveal cellular and molecular biological events in real-time facilitate our understanding of biological processes occurring in living animals. The development of molecular tags, such as green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, red fluorescent proteins (RFP) from the Discosoma species (dsRed2) and luciferase (Luc) from the firefly Photinus pyralis (fLuc) and the sea pansy Renilla (rLuc), has revolutionised research over the past decade, allowing complex biochemical processes to be associated with the functioning of proteins in living cells. Optical technologies, both microscopic and macroscopic, are developing fast. Recent technical advances for imaging weak visible light sources using cooled charged coupled device (CCCD) cameras, peltier cooled detectors and micro-plate channel intensifiers allow detection of photon emission from inside the tissues of small animals. Whole body fluorescent imaging (FLI) and bioluminescent imaging (BLI) are now applied to study cell- and tissue-specific gene promoter activity and also to follow trafficking, differentiation and fate of i.e. GFP or RFP and/or luciferase expressing cells, or biological processes like apoptosis, protein-protein interaction, angiogenesis, proteolysis and gene-transfer. Optical imaging (OI) and optical reporter systems are also very cost-effective and time-efficient and they are particularly well suited for small animal imaging and for in vitro assays to validate different reporter systems.

Abstract
Knowledge of the biology and management of rectal cancer continues to improve. A multidisciplinary approach to a patient with rectal cancer by an experienced expert team is mandatory, to assure optimal diagnosis and staging, surgery, selection of the appropriate neo-adjuvant and adjuvant strategy and chemotherapeutic management. Moreover, optimal symptom management also requires a dedicated team of health care professionals. The introduction of total mesorectal excision has been associated with a decrease in the rate of local failure after surgery. High quality surgery and the achievement of pathological measures of quality are a prerequisite to adequate locoregional control. There are now randomized data in favour of chemoradiotherapy or short course radiotherapy in the preoperative setting. Preoperative chemoradiotherapy is more beneficial and has less toxicity for patients with resectable rectal cancer than postoperative chemoradiotherapy. Furthermore chemoradiotherapy leads also to downsizing of locally advanced rectal cancer. New strategies that decrease the likelihood of distant metastases after initial treatment need be developed with high priority. Those involved in the care for patients with rectal cancer should be encouraged to participate in well-designed clinical trials, to increase the evidence-based knowledge and to make further progress. Health care workers involved in the care of rectal cancer patients should be encouraged to adopt quality control processes leading to increased expertise.

Abstract
In a series of 25 consecutive patients suffering from essential trigeminal neuralgia, transoval glycerol injection following Håkanson was performed in order to alleviate the pain attacks. This treatment proved to be successful in 76% of the patients. No major side-effects were reported. Authors stress the importance of a precise cisternography of Meckel's cave to ascertain the correct position of the needle, before injecting the glycerol. They discuss their mode of conducting the examination in using a conventional radiologic set-up. Transoval glycerol injection is a valuable interventional radiologic procedure and has to be taken into account as an alternative treatment of essential trigeminal neuralgia, especially when current therapeutic measures have failed.
