Abstract
The invention relates to a non-invasive method for detecting gastric cancer based on the detection of a new molecular marker in blood. In particular, via the detection of the long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) KCNQ1OT1 in peripheral blood, wherein an increase in the expression of this LncRNA correlates with gastric cancer or the precursor lesions thereof (OLGA stage III and IV).
Claims4
