Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a highly prevalent and deadly form of cancer, with efforts to better understand the molecular basis of the progression of this disease being essential to its effective treatment. Several recent studies have highlighted the ability of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to regulate a wide range of cellular processes in both healthy and pathogenic contexts. Among these RBPs, RNA binding motif protein 47 (RBM47) has recently been identified as a tumor suppressor in both breast and colon cancers, whereas its role in NSCLC is poorly understood. RBM47 expression in NSCLC samples was evaluated by RT-PCR, western blotting and immunohistochemistry analysis. Molecular and cellular techniques including lentiviral vector-mediated knockdown were used to elucidate the functions and mechanisms of RBM47. This study sought to analyze the expression and role of RBM47 in NSCLC. In the present study, we observed reduced levels of RBM47 expression in NSCLC, with these reductions correspondfer new insights into the molecular biology of NSCLC, and suggest that RBM47 may also have value as a prognostic biomarker and/or therapeutic target in NSCLC patients. Cervical anastomotic leakages may manifest either cervically or intrathoracically. We retrospectively investigated the management strategies and clinical outcomes of patients who developed anastomotic leakages after McKeown esophagectomy and the spectrum of its clinical manifestations. Patients with esophageal cancer who underwent McKeown esophagectomy with cervical anastomosis (n=749) between January 2015 and December 2018 were included. Cervical anastomosis leakage was diagnosed in 53/749 (7.3%) patients. The leakage was primarily limited to cervical region in 16 (30.2%) patients, whereas intrathoracic sprea
