Chromosomal breaks at FRA18C: association with reduced DOK6 expression, altered oncogenic signaling and increased gastric cancer survival

Gastric cancer: Chromosome rearrangement linked to less aggressive tumors Gastric tumors often harbor a chromosome abnormality that disrupts a key signaling gene, resulting in less aggressive cancers. Oi Lian Kon from the National Cancer Centre Singapore and colleagues searched for chromosomal rearr...
