The discovery of biomarkers for gastric cancer screening
4 juin 2024
Stomach cancer, or gastric cancer, is a rare tumor that develops from the mucosal cells lining the stomach.
Over 400 participants, half of whom had gastric cancer, were included in a study designed to identify biomarkers that could improve gastric cancer screening and follow-up.
Levels of vitamin B12, folic acid and homocysteine were measured using chemiluminescence.
Results showed significant differences between mean levels of homocysteine, vitamin B12 and folic acid in gastric cancer patients compared with controls.
