Core Tip
Core tip: As a prognostic marker of poor clinical outcome, the high expression of ABCG2 has become a hot research topic and focus. Nevertheless, there are few studies involving the relevance of ABCG2 expression driven by chemotherapeutic agents and its clinical significance. This is the first study examining the impact of increased ABCG2 mRNA expression time driven by cisplatin in vitro in gastric cancer and its relationship with overall survival of the patients.
