BMI1 and gastric cancer: Collectively, our data suggest CBX7 shares similarities in functions with Bmi-1 in gastric cancer, but we didn't confirm CBX7 is an independent prognosis factor as Bmi-1, which may be due to the limited samples in the present study, or the function of CBX7 may partially depend on Bmi-1, or its role is not as important as Bmi-1 in gastric cancer.
