MET and gastric cancer: MET polymorphism of 161 Japanese, 101 US, and 63 Austrian patients with locoregional gastric cancer treated with surgery was examined. Patients with any G (A/G or G/G genotype) allele of MET rs40239 had significantly longer disease-free survival and OS compared with those with the AA genotype in male Japanese, but not in female Japanese as well as all patients in the US and Austrian cohorts [112].
