In addition, Wang et al (19) reported that 38% (11/29) of gastric adenocarcinomas and 10% (4/40) of colorectal adenocarcinomas were CK7+/CK20+; thus, CK7+/CK20+ staining pattern is more common in gastric adenocarcinomas than in colorectal cancer. This evidence concerns the gene KRT7 and gastric adenocarcinoma.
