Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)/International Union Against Cancer (UICC) staging system for gastric cancer incorporates the absolute number of metastatic lymph nodes (N status) and is optimally used when >or=15 nodes are examined. The ratio of metastatic to examined nodes (N ratio) is an effective prognostic tool, but has not been examined in Western patients undergoing primarily D1 lymphadenectomy.
METHODS:Two hundred and fifty seven patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent gastric resection between 1995 and 2005 at our institution were examined. Novel N ratio intervals were determined using the best cutoff approach (Nr0: N ratio = 0 and >or=15 nodes examined; Nr1: 0

杂志文章abstract:BACKGROUND:Abnormal phosphatase and tensin analog (PTEN) gene expression has been noted in neoplasms. The PTEN protein cleaves phosphate groups from cellular growth kinases, inhibiting tumor propagation. A downstream target of PTEN is AKT, a serine-threonine kinase that when activated inhibits apoptosis. We sought to d...
