Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most significant causes of cancer-related death worldwide. A genetic model consisting of sequential accumulations of alterations in specific genes for gastric cancer has been proposed. The significance of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and p53 gene mutations in cancer tissues and their paired serum of 34 gastric cancer patients was investigated using polymerase chain reaction single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis (PCR-SSCP), followed by direct sequencing. c-met mRNA expression was evaluated by reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR). Additionally, analyses were carried out to detect the serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels, and their correlation to these three molecular markers. Finally, serum molecular markers and their correlation to the presence of postoperative recurrence/metastasis were analyzed. Of all, 32.4% of patients presented mutations in APC and p53, respectively, and 58.8% presented the overexpression in c-met, overall, at least one of these genetic alterations in 79.4% of tumor tissues. Comparison of three molecular markers showed that the individual detection rate in the serum of patients with tumors harboring the same abnormalities was 18.2, 70.0, and 36.4% for APC, c-...Continue Reading
