The clinically uncommon gastric cancers are easy to be misdiagnosed or missed, and further to miss the optimal opportunity for treatment due to the unclearly specific pathogenesis and disease progression. With the development of studies on the clinically uncommon gastric carcinoma, although people have a further knowledge of its pathologic features, methods of diagnosis an...Continue Reading
