cancer stem cells (cscs) are unique subpopulations that have the capacity to drive malignant progression with renewal abilities. recently the role of some of cscs in gastric adenocarcinoma has been studied. this study was performed in order to evaluate cd44 and cd133 expressions by immunohistochemistry in 95 primary gastric adenocarcinoma and their relation to clinical and pathological paramete...

In the recent years deregulation for microRNAs expression pattern have emerged as a possible molecular factor for carcinogenesis. It has been reported that the expression of miR-9 was down-regulated in human gastric adenocarcinoma. To figure out the molecular mechanism of this down regulation, the methylation status in promoters of miR-9 family loci were compared in the human gastric adenocarci...

background: one million people are diagnosed with gastric cancer (gc) annually and the prognosis for patients with advanced gc or gastroesophageal junction (gej) cancer is usually poor with a median survival time of 8 to 10 months. recent reports have identified that anti her2 target therapy improved the median survival rate in patients with her2 positive gc; but a wide range of her2 overexpres...

Planning for treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma in a patient previously treated with partial gastrectomy for primary gastric lymphoma is difficult. Long term survival of advanced gastric adenocarcinoma is poor with therapy and even worse without treatment. The only potentially curative treatment for gastric adenocarcinoma is surgical resection with adequate margins. Palliative surgery ameliora...

Primary gastric squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is an exceedingly rare disease. We increased the understanding of gastric SCC and evaluated prognostic factors of gastric SCC.In this large-population cohort study, we retrospectively collected 163 primary gastric SCC and 66,209 primary gastric adenocarcinoma cases from the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results program (SEER) database from 198...

abstract background: gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers in our country. recent studies have shown that adenocarcinoma of the cardia and distal stomach has increased in the past 25 years. however demographic data is lacking in this regard. methods: this study is a retrospective case series study. all records from 460 consecutive patients who were documented pathologically to have g...
