Molecular classification of gastric cancer / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Gastric cancer has high heterogeneity,and the traditional histopathologic classification has a limited significance for clinical work.Along with the dramatic development of molecular detection technology,it may be much more helpful for the treatment and prognosis to use the molecular classifications.Recently,there have been many researches on the molecular classification of gastric cancer,such as Tan type,Lei type,clonality type,The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) type,Asian Cancer Research Group (ACRG) type,and so on.All of these molecular classification methods have respective advantages and disadvantages.
