Association of gastric and intestinal phenotypic marker expression of gastric carcinomas with tumor thymidylate synthase expression and response to postoperative chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: It is well known that both gastric and intestinal phenotypic markers are expressed in gastric carcinomas, irrespective of their histological type. In the present study, the associations among phenotypic marker expression of gastric carcinomas, tumor thymidylate synthase (TS) expression, and the chemotherapeutic response to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) were examined. METHODS: The gastric and intestinal...
