## BACKGROUND. Peritoneal metastases are one reason for the poor prognosis of scirrhous gastric cancer. However, the mechanism of peritoneal metastasis remains unclear. We therefore investigated the interaction between gastric cancer cells and peritoneal fibroblasts, in vivo and in vitro. ## METH

## Abstract The major obstacle to successful treatment of gastric cancer is chemotherapy resistance. Our study was designed to investigate the role of phosphoinositide 3βkinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway in the development of chemoresistance in gastric cancer. In the present study, elevated Akt expression
Peritoneal dissemination frequently occurs after surgery in patients with gastric cancer. The presence of peritoneal metastasis after surgery affects prognosis. Very little is known about the biochemical processes involved in the initial attachment of gastric cancer cells to peritoneal mesothelial c
