Abstract excerpt
Gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide with a low 5-year survival (S5y) after initial diagnosis. Although aberrant Wnt/β-catenin (CTNNB1) signaling has been observed in multiple human cancers, there is no information on the role of CTNNB1 polymorphisms in gastric cancer risk and S5y. We performed a genetic association study to analyse the correlation between the five tagged...
