To date, some molecular markers, including human epidermal growth factor receptor-2, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2, urothelial cancer associated 1, excision repair cross-complementation group 1, B-cell lymphoma-2, and Ki-67 have been proposed to have diagnostic and prognostic value in the management of GC patients [20, 21]. This evidence concerns the gene ERCC1 and gastric cancer.
