Furthermore, when we examined RIPK3 protein expression by histopathological measurement in our own cohort of general gastric cancer patients (N = 338), we found high RIPK3 protein expression was correlated with overall survival (OS, P = 0.048) and progression free survival (PFS, P = 0.044) in these patients (Fig. S8D). This evidence concerns the gene RIPK3 and gastric cancer.
