Explore the critical role of biomarkers in gastric cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment through this comprehensive 47-minute webinar. Learn about the global impact of gastric cancer as the 5th most common cancer worldwide and 4th leading cause of cancer deaths, with particular focus on its high incidence rates in East Asia and Eastern Europe compared to lower rates in North America and Northern Europe. Understand the challenges posed by gastric cancer's poor prognosis and frequent presentation with regional lymph node spread in approximately 25% of patients and distant metastatic disease in about one-third of patients at diagnosis. Gain insights into current biomarker research and applications from Dr. Stuti Shroff, who brings expertise in molecular biology, cell and developmental biology, with specialized research experience in Wnt and TGFβ signaling pathways during organ development. Discover how biomarkers are revolutionizing the approach to gastric cancer management and their potential for improving patient outcomes in this deadly malignancy.
