A descriptive analysis of gastric cancer with an immunohistochemical Study of Ki67 and p53 as prognostic factors.: Bahrain experience.

The common gastric cancers are signet ring cell adenocarcinoma and intestinal type adenocarcinoma, affecting a wide range of age groups (33-91 years), with those over 60 years at greater risk. Interestingly, low Ki67 is associated with a higher mortality rate, whereas p53 has no prognostic significance. Expression of both Ki67 and p53 showed no association with survival time.
