Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The transformation of healthy gastric tissue into intestinal metaplasia (IM) is thought to be a critical premalignant step in the development of intestinal-type gastric adenocarcinoma (GA). How such premalignancies contribute to the development of GA is, however, poorly understood. METHODS: In this study, the extent and clonal complexity in IM tissue from patients without gastric cancer were analysed...
