Stenosis of esophago-jejuno anastomosis after gastric surgery.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Dickkopf-3 (DKK3) may act as a tumor suppressor as it is down-regulated in various types of cancer. This study assessed the DKK3 protein expression in gastric cancer and its potential value as a prognostic marker. METHODS:DKK3 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 158 gastric cancer samples fr...
