Core Tip

Core Tip: The expression levels of splicing factor 3b subunit 4 and high mobility group box 1 in gastric biopsy tissues of gastric cancer patients are significantly elevated, and their expression is closely related to disease severity, prognosis, and survival time. They can serve as biomarkers for evaluating disease status and prognosis in gastric cancer, and their combined detection has a higher predictive value for poor prognosis than individual diagnosis.
