Indeed, evaluating TYMP expression through the ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) technique, they examined 263 samples from patients who underwent gastrectomy and identified a correlation between TYMP and the metastatic process, reporting a high TYMP expression in the tumor-invading serosa and tumor tissues from patients with lymph node metastasis and lymphatic invasion. This evidence concerns the gene TYMP and neoplasm.
