Abstract

Objective: Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide. The risk factors for gastric cancer include environmental and genetic factors. Inflammation and the immune system are known to contribute to the development of the gastric cancer. We examined the influence of critical polymorphisms of CTLA-4 and CD28 genes and circulating protein levels on the etiology of gastric cancer.
