PD-L1 overexpression in EBV-positive gastric cancer is caused by unique genomic or epigenomic mechanisms

Abstract Epstein-Barr virus-positive gastric cancer [EBV (+) GC] is a distinct GC subtype with unique genetic and epigenetic aberrations. Here, we examined resected GC samples and publicly available microarray data and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to identify the mechanism underlying over...
