Four-gene combination may predict lethal stomach cancer

Four specific gene mutations linked to development and progression of lethal stomach cancers

Researchers using next-generation DNA sequencing have identified four specific genes whose mutations are linked to the development and progression of lethal stomach cancers.

Four-gene combination may predict lethal stomach cancer

Four specific genes serve as a telltale clue to how potentially deadly stomach cancers will develop and progress, a new study says.

Gene mutations linked to worse outcomes in stomach cancer: Insights could lead to tailored treatments

Researchers using next-generation DNA sequencing have identified four specific genes whose mutations are linked to the development and progression of lethal stomach cancers. This could potentially enable doctors to offer targeted treatments that would spare many patients from unnecessarily aggressive procedures, according to a study presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2025.
