Abstract
Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Additionally, it is well-known that metastatic cancer disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. Several investigations reported that HER-2 (ErbB-2 receptor) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are important etiological factors in human gastric cancer, where either oncogene/oncovirus alone can derive a major event of cancer progression and metastasis via epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Herein, we discuss, for the first time, the possibility of HER-2/EBV-oncoproteins interaction in human gastric cancer initiation and/or progression.Entities:
