    Genetic variations in immunomodulatory pathways to predict survival in patients with locoregional gastric cancer

    Immunomodulator-targeting therapies are under development in gastric cancer (GC). However, the role of genes modulating anti-tumor immunity in GC remains poorly understood. We investigated the association of v...
