- We selected patients with 4 histological defined conditions: gastric cancer intestinal type (GC), atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia in adjacent mucosa to gastric cancer (AG/IM GC+), atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia in patients without gastric cancer (AG/IM GC-) and control biopsy samples of non-transformed gastric mucosa. Parameters were analyzed using ANOVA, t Student for unpaired data and Chi-square-test for categorical data, (significance p < 0.05, NS: not significant). *in patients with GC, we considered as separated group samples from tumor and from adjacent mucosa
