Abstract excerpt
Multiple gastric cancers are found in 5-15% of all patients with gastric cancer. However, no molecular markers have yet been shown to be clinically useful for predicting which patient will or will not have multiple gastric cancers. Recently, microsatellite instability (MSI) has been identified as a molecular marker for multiple colorectal cancers. To elucidate whether MSI could be used as a molecular marker for...
