Spasmolytic polypeptide‐expressing metaplasia ( SPEM ) cell lineages can be an origin of gastric cancer
5 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Intestinal-type gastric cancer arises in a field of precancerous metaplastic lineages. Two types of metaplastic glands are found in the stomachs of humans with the characteristics of pyloric metaplasia or intestinal metaplasia. While spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) cell lineages have been identified in both pyloric metaplasia and incomplete intestinal metaplasia, it has been unclear whether...
