Flotillin2 expression correlates with HER2 levels and poor prognosis in gastric cancer.

<h4>Objective</h4>Flotillin gene is known as a tumor promoter or suppressor, depending on the tumor type or tumor stage. We aimed to investigate the clinical significance of flotillin2 protein expression in gastric cancer.<h4>Methods</h4>We examined flotillin2 and erbB2 level...
