Stomach Cancer

  Stomach Disorders Vanderbilt School of Medicine basic science researchers study stomach (gastric) cancer by uncovering the molecular and cellular mechanisms that drive tumor initiation, progression, and treatment resistance. Work spans cancer genetics and epigenetics, oncogenic signaling, metabolism, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment and immune system. Many labs use… Read More

Eunyoung Choi and Ken Lau receive funding for novel cancer research, which may ultimately result in cancer detection and treatment options for patients. The fund supports early-stage, high-risk high-reward research projects and honor Cohen’s seminal discoveries, which led to the invention of many anticancer drugs used today. Read More

The Gastric Cancer Foundation has awarded a one-year $100,000 research grant to Eunyoung Choi, PhD, assistant professor of Surgery in the Section of Surgical Sciences, to support her efforts to find a way to disrupt the transformation of dysplastic stem cells into stomach cancer. The award was one of… Read More
