Abstract excerpt
Although the gastric remnant has been reported to be at high risk for carcinogenesis, the process of carcinogenesis of gastric remnant cancer (GRC) remains unclear. In this study, genetic alterations in GRC were examined in order to investigate the carcinogenic pathways of GRC. Twenty-one patients with GRC were investigated and were compared to 36 patients with sporadic gastric cancer (GC) as a control group....
