Abstract excerpt
Gastric adenomas are often detected in the stomach resected for gastric cancer. Previous investigation have revealed that the prevalence of their malignant transformation is generally low, but the frequent coexistence with carcinoma suggests that they may share some common processes with gastric cancer in tumorigenesis. In contrast to the cumulative information about genetic alterations in gastric cancer,...
