Background: The identification of gastric tumors associated with a higher risk of lymph node metastasis could help surgeons select patients who may benefit from extended lymph node dissection. The aim of this study was to screen the genome in the search of primary gastric cancer gene expression profiles that might predict lymph node status.
Methods: The gene expression profile was evaluated in frozen tumor samples obtained from 32 patients with primary gastric adenocarcinomas.
