Novel Biomarkers of Gastric Adenocarcinoma: Current Research and Future Perspectives

Overall survival of gastric cancer remains low, as patients are often diagnosed with advanced stage disease. In this review, we give an overview of current research on biomarkers in gastric cancer and their implementation in treatment strategies. The HER2-targeting trastuzumab is the first molecular...
