Clinical Pathological and Immunohistochemical Correlations in Gastric Cancer.

Due to its high aggressiveness and polyclonal tumor state, stomach cancer is considered a severe health problem. In this study, we analyzed Her2 and Ki67 in correlation with patient data for the possibility of prognostic factors. The study included 48 cases of gastric tumors that had been surgically treated in a period of five years. The percentage was statistically significant for intestinal-type adenocarcinomas located in the medio-gastric region ( = 0.05); in the diffuse subtype, there were no Her2 positive samples, and in the mixed subtype only one out of three samples was Her2 positive. Our results confirm the existing data, and we can conclude that this link can be considered a prognostic factor in the progression and treatment effectiveness.
