Gastric adenocarcinoma: pathomorphology and molecular pathology.

Abstract excerpt

Two types of gastric adenocarcinoma can be distinguished histopathologically: the diffuse and the intestinal type. Molecular pathology supports this theory by showing differences in the genetic pathways of both tumor types. In addition to known pathomorphological factors of prognosis, e.g., depth of tumor infiltration, number of lymph node metastases and resection margins, a few genes have been suggested to have...
