Testing Claudin 18.2 Expression in Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma: Current Status and
Abstract:
Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) represents one of the newest biomarkers expected to enter routine testing in the near future and expanding the spectrum of available predictive markers. It is currently a clinically relevant predictor for adenocarcinomas of the stomach and the gastroesophageal junction, although its use will likely extend also to other diagnoses. The aim of this report is to provide an overview of selected aspects of CLDN18.2 expression testing, including the choice of appropriate tissue, the issue of tumor heterogeneity, antibodies suitable for testing and their evaluation, where such testing can be performed, and the prospects for the future.

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
