Core Tip

Core Tip: Advanced gastric cancer has a very poor prognosis at this stage. Early diagnosis and treatment of precancerous lesions of gastric cancer (PLGC) still need further research. Studies of the microbiota associated with PLGC have found that Streptococcus anginosus (S. anginosus) plays an important role in their development. We explore the mechanism of S. anginosus in PLGC and consider its inclusion in the diagnosis and treatment of PLGC.
