Chu investigated the level of CD147 in 223 gastric cancer patients, and confirmed the association of CD147 with gastric cancer invasion and metastasis, suggesting that CD147 may be an indicator of tumor recurrence and prognosis.8 Hu's study concluded the same conclusion.9 In terms of miR-203, its influence on gastric cancer was also studied in recent years, many scholars advocated that the expression of miR-203 was significantly lower in gastric cancer samples than non-cancerous samples, also demonstrating a close correlation between miR-203 and gastric cancer.10,11 However, few studies have been performed to evaluate the relationship of these biomarkers as well as their influence on the pathological characteristics in patients with gastric cancer.
In gastric cancer, lncRNA-GACAT3 and XIST promote cell growth and invasion by negatively regulating miR-497 expression (20,21).

Compare to any other country in the world, as a high risk nation of gastric cancer, Japan has established a relatively better screening system and shown the obvious achievements.[13],[14] In Japan, a gastric cancer screening program, named photofluorography, was launched in 1960.[15] Together with other traditional screening methods including double-contrast barium X-rays or panendoscopy, it has been wildly adopted throughout the country.[16] However, these traditional methods leave much more to be desired.

CT-based diagnosis of venous invasion in patients with gastric cancer and its prognostic value.
EPEX may intensify the breakage of the next EpCAM molecules, followed by the phenomenon of a positive feedback leading to breaking more and more numerous molecules of the protein [6].Due to the role of EpCAM in maintaining the cells integrity, the aim of this study was to establish a role of this protein in gastric cancer. Moreover, the study focused on the possibility of using EpCAM as a potential prognostic marker in gastric cancer.
