Biomarkers are bits of information unique to you and your cancer. They can be genes, gene mutations, or proteins that cause cancer cells to grow and spread. It's important to check for stomach cancer biomarkers because new drugs can potentially target them and stop cancer growth.

Excited for you Martha Teke, MD. Hard-earned and well-deserved.
