abstract：AIMS:The cadherin-catenin complex is known to play a critical role in maintenance of cell adhesion. Additionally beta-catenin (beta-ct) can also take part in signal transduction and nuclear beta-ct expression could be correlated with poor prognosis in several malignancies. Since, in gastric cancer, this role of beta-ct...
