This study is being released early to coincide with its presentation at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Published in the November 1, 2006 issue of CANCER , a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the study reveals that less than one third of gastric cancer patients had adequate lymph node assessments (ALNA).

Now a multi-national research team led by the Melbourne Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR) has joined the proverbial dots and identified a potential new target for stomach cancer therapy, according to a paper published today in the prestigious Nature Medicine journal.
