Furthermore, the c-Met expression on monocytes was decreased in patients who underwent tumor resection by gastrectomy (patients with a resected localized tumor) compared to patients with an active tumor burden (patients with a non-resected localized tumor or metastatic patients) (5.62 ± 1.24% and 22.33 ± 2.55%, respectively; p = 0.001) (Figure 2F). The gene discussed is MET; the disease is neoplasm.
