Scientists identify mutation patterns in healthy stomach lining, offering new insights into the earliest steps of cancer ...

The study found that gastric cells in some individuals carried three copies of certain chromosomes, hinting toward exposure ...

For the first time, scientists have systematically analyzed somatic mutations in stomach lining tissue to unpick mutational processes, some of which can lead to cancer. The team also uncovered ...

The team also found that 'driver' mutations 5 in cancer genes, many of which are known to be mutated in gastric cancer, occupy almost 10 per cent of the stomach lining by age 60. This proportion ...
