Abstract
Today a global problem for humanity is represented by cancer, in particular gastric cancer, which is characterized by high mortality and aggressive course. In this regard, there is a search for new approaches to the diagnosis and therapy of gastric cancer, one of these areas is the study of the expression level of the intercellular adhesion molecule claudin-18.2 in tumor tissue and its use as a target molecule. In the case of various pathological processes, including tumors, the expression profile of claudin-18.2 changes, which indicates its possible role in the initiation and progression of cancer. The aim of this review is to systematize the data on claudin-18.2, its role in normal cell physiology and embryology, as well as in the development of pathological processes in the stomach, its relation to the clinical and morphological characteristics of gastric cancer and importance in biological therapy.
期刊介绍:
The journal deals with original investigations on pressing problems of general pathology and pathologic anatomy, newest research methods, major issues of the theory and practice as well as problems of experimental, comparative and geographic pathology. To inform readers latest achievements of Russian and foreign medicine the journal regularly publishes editorial and survey articles, reviews of the most interesting Russian and foreign books on pathologic anatomy, new data on modern methods of investigation (histochemistry, electron microscopy, autoradiography, etc.), about problems of teaching, articles on the history of pathological anatomy development both in Russia and abroad.
