Cancer Comprehensive Analysis in Gastric Carcinoma: Benefits and New Perspectives

Gastric cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancers worldwide. Screening tests as well as tools for prediction of treatment outcomes and prognosis have been developed, but they have many limitations.

Although there are several techniques for cancer screening, prediction of therapy outcomes, and prognosis, the application of a complete comprehensive cancer panel, combining the study of variants, fusions, chromosomal abnormalities, and gene expression, is more appropriate.
