CD44v8-10 as a potential theranostic biomarker for targeting disseminated cancer cells in advanced gastric cancer

Abstract Gastric cancer is the third most common cause of cancer mortality, and the survival rate of stage IV advanced gastric cancer (AGC) patients with distant metastasis is very low. Thus, the detection and eradication of disseminated cancer cells by targeting cell surface molecules in AGC would...
