Molecular and pathological analyses of gastric stump cancer by next-generation sequencing and immunohistochemistry

Abstract Gastric stump cancer (GSC) has distinct clinicopathological characteristics from primary gastric cancer. However, the detailed molecular and pathological characteristics of GSC remain to be clarified because of its rarity. In this study, a set of tissue microarrays from 89 GSC patients was...
