Abstract excerpt
Epithelial cells lining the GI tract except in the gastric antrum do not normally express gastrin-releasing peptide receptors (GRP-R). Because GRP-R activation causes the proliferation of many GI cancer cell lines, aberrant expression has been presumed to negatively influence patient survival. We therefore determined the incidence and quality of GRP-R aberrantly expressed by non-antral gastric adenocarcinomas,...
