Tian et al conducted immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of AKT in 128 pairs of GC tumour tissues and adjacent non‐tumour tissues, and found that the tumour tissues displayed a significantly higher level of AKT expression than adjacent non‐tumour tissues, and the high expression of AKT in GC was related to the T stage.20 This evidence concerns the gene AKT1 and gastric cancer.
