This article aimed to explore how Taiwan has utilized genomic sequencing technologies and surveillance to monitor and mitigate the spread of COVID-19. We examined databases and sources of genomic sequences and highlighted the role of data science methodologies in the explanation and analyses of evolutionary data. This review addressed the challenges and limitations inherent in genomic surveillance, such as concerns regarding data quality and the necessity for interdisciplinary expertise for accurate data interpretation. Special attention was given to the unique challenges faced by Taiwan, including its high population density and major transit destination for international travelers. We underscored the far-reaching implications of genomic surveillance data for public health policy, particularly in influencing decisions regarding travel restrictions, vaccine administration, and public health decision-making. Studies were examined to demonstrate the effectiveness of using genomic data to implement public health measures. Future research should prioritize the integration of methodologies and technologies in evolutionary data science, particularly focusing on phylodynamic analytics. This integration is crucial to enhance the precision and applicability of genomic data.

This is primarily due to the fact that the majority of patients are diagnosed at advanced stages or present with metastatic disease. Radical resection remains the cornerstone of potentially curative treatment, yet the overall 5-year survival rate remains below 35%. The management of GC varies globally, influenced by factors such as geographical disparities, patient comorbidities and performance status, surgical approaches, and available medical resources. Multidisciplinary collaboration and a multimodal treatment approach are essential for optimizing patient outcomes. Surgeons must stay updated on emerging surgical concepts and make informed decisions regarding patient selection, timing of intervention, and the adoption of appropriate surgical techniques to improve both quality of life and prognosis. This review aims to provide a surgical perspective on the management of GC across all stages, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive treatment approach. Endoscopic resection may be a viable option for early GC in patients with minimal risk of lymph node metastasis, particularly in elderly patients with high surgical risk or severe comorbidities. For advanced GC, neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery could be a promising strategy to improve patient outcomes.

The combination of ICI and antiangiogenic or dual ICIs has become the new standard of care due to remarkable response rates.

Various ongoing clinical trials regarding the role of systemic therapies and potential novel targets in patients with early-, intermediate-, and advanced-stage HCC were also summarized and revealed that systemic therapy is no longer limited to advanced-stage HCC.
