Ethnicity-related differences in tumor immunity: a new possible explanation for gastric cancer prognostic variability? %K %X Gastric cancer (GC) is a very heterogeneous disease. Despite the decreasing incidence with time, it represents the second most common cause of cancer-related death after lung cancer; however, it is well known that incidence rates are very different throughout the world, with some geographic areas showing much higher rates than other regions (1,2>). Subtypes of GC present different and sometimes opposite epidemiological trends, with reference to proximal vs . distal tumor locations, or intestinal vs . diffuse Lauren histological types (3). %U https://tgh.amegroups.org/article/view/3539 %V 1 %P %@ 2415-1289
