Research project: Biological and clinical significance and targeting of HER-family members in stomach cancer
Abstract
Stomach cancer ranks fifth for the incidence and fourth for mortality from cancer worldwide. In order to reduce its incidence and mortality rates, it is essential to conduct more extensive research on stomach cancer. Such investigations could lead to the identification of better biomarkers for use in the early detection of stomach cancer and to aid in the selection of specific population of patient who could benefit from therapy and the development of more effective and less toxic treatment interventions. In this PhD project, using a wide range of biological and molecular techniques, the aim of is to investigate the biological and clinical significance and targeting of growth factor receptors in stomach cancer.
