Abstract excerpt
The Notch pathway regulates the homeostasis and tumorigenesis of gastrointestinal epithelium. Given its roles in cancer stem cell capacity and cancer immunity, we hypothesized that Notch activation can predict poor prognosis and resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma (GIAC). The mRNA expression and genomic alterations of Notch pathway were characterized in esophagus...
