My current research interest is on the molecular pathology of gastric cancer. We are working on a research project which deals on the molecular classification of gastric cancer (GC) tumors and analysis of the response to the medical treatments in use. To this purpose, from the prospectively diagnosed GC patients at our Center, we will analyze: 1) the IHC/ISH tumoral expression of a recently reported panel of 14 selected biomarkers, and a panel of recurrent 'driver' somatic mutations in GC. 2)The prognostic value of the different molecular groups identified. 3) The response to the medical treatments administered in relation to the tumor molecular subgroup. 4) To identify biomarkers predictive of response to therapy by means of protein and differential gene expression studies
