Identification of gastric cancer subtypes based on pathway clustering

Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) is highly heterogeneous in the stromal and immune microenvironment, genome instability (GI), and oncogenic signatures. However, a classification of GC by combining these features remains lacking. Using the consensus clustering algorithm, we clustered GCs based on the act...
