Introduction: Gastric epithelial tumors exhibit morphological heterogeneity, diverse biological behaviors, and different oncopathological pathways. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) proposed a molecular classification of gastric adenocarcinomas based on genetic and molecular findings, which shows particular characteristics of diagnosis, prognosis, and indirectly, therapeutic alternatives. Within this classification, Epstein-Barr virus-positive (EBV+) and high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) subtypes stand out as subtypes that present a less aggressive biological behavior and a highly mutilated phenotype.
