Is biomarkers of EBV-positive Gastric Cancers : Loss of PTEN Expression Associated with Poor Prognosis and Nodal Metastasis?
PTEN loss in EBVGC is a poor prognostic factor associated with mortality and nodal metastasis in EBVGCs. Evaluation of PTEN expression may be helpful to determine the most appropriate treatment strategy, especially for endoscopically resected EBVGCs.
The aim of the present study is to present the review of the literature in terms of peri-operative complications related to the hyperthermia during intraoperative chemohyperthermia procedure.
