Abstract:
AIM: To investigate the ratio of apoptotic index and proliferative index (AI/PI) in gastric cancer and their association with survival. METHODS: The apoptotic population and the proliferative population were quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometry. The proliferative cells were identified by confocal microscope and Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze survival. RESULTS: AI and PI were strongly correlated with a Pearson coefficient of 0.58 (P
