Expression of CLDN6 in tissues of gastric cancer patients: Association with clinical pathology and prognosis.

In conclusion, the expression level of CLDN6 is low in the cancer tissues of gastric cancer patients, and associated with age, lymph node metastasis, pathological staging and distant metastasis. CLDN6 low expression has a certain negative impact on the prognosis of patients, and therefore, shows potential as an important indicator for the prognosis of gastric cancer patients.
