Abstract excerpt
Studies of Wnt activation in gastric cancer have yielded conflicting results. The goals of this study were to determine the frequency of Wnt pathway activation and beta-catenin mutation in these tumors. Three hundred eleven gastric cancers were examined for beta-catenin expression by immunostaining and dissected using laser capture microscopy to obtain DNA from those tumors with nuclear beta-catenin. Exon 3 of...
