Detection of gastric cancer and premalignant lesions by novel marker glycoprotein 87 using monoclonal antibody Adnab-9.

Gastric adenocarcinoma (GC), the second most frequent cancer in the world, is highly prevalent in Asia. A screening test for early-stage GC would represent a major advance in the management of this disease. Associated conditions such as chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) with intestinal metaplasia are manifested by specialized intestinalized tissue that often includes Paneth cells.
