Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Metachronous gastric cancer (GC) can develop after endoscopic resection of GC and cannot be predicted based on clinical signature. Aberrant DNA methylation in noncancerous gastric mucosa is strongly implicated in gastric carcinogenesis and could be a useful biomarker of GC risk. We evaluated the clinical utility of DNA methylation as a biomarker of metachronous GC risk. METHOD: We carried out...
