The cellular and molecular pathology of gastric cancer and its precursors are reviewed and
discussed. Gastric carcinogenesis is a multistep phenomenon, beginning with precancerous …

Ninety-five cases of adenocarcinoma of the stomach were evaluated for the presence of
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) using a sensitive in situ hybridization assay targeting Epstein-Barr …

Gallbladder carcinoma is one of the most frequent neoplasms diagnosed in Chile. Although
the premalignant lesions have been extensively studied and are well characterized, there is …

Aims: Tissue microarrays offer an efficient way of examining a large number of tumour cases
on a single glass slide. A major concern, however, is tumour heterogeneity. Also, the use of …

BACKGROUND Intestinal and diffuse adenocarcinomas of the stomach differ in phenotypic
properties, morphology, and growth behavior. Apoptosis (programmed cell death) is induced …

Frequent amplification of 7q21‐22 genomic region is known in gastric cancer. Multiple
genes including SHFM1, MCM7, and COL1A2 were reported to be the potential cancer …

The prognostic value of overexpression of the p53-encoded protein was evaluated in 242
patients with gastric cancer. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded specimens of gastric …

Background Gastric “crawling-type” adenocarcinoma (CTAC) is a neoplasm histologically
comprising irregularly fused glands with low-grade cellular atypia that tends to spread …

Differentiated gastric carcinoma (DGC) corresponds roughly to the intestinal type of gastric
carcinoma described by Laurén. It has been suggested that DGCs arise from intestinalized …

BACKGROUND Multiple early gastric carcinomas were found in 5–15% of patients with
early gastric carcinoma. The goals of this study were to clarify the clinicopathologic features …
