Abstract:Background Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) is an important cancer stem cell marker in gastric cancer. However, no detailed studies are available on LGR5 expression in poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma (PD-AC). Therefore, we investigated the relationship between LGR5 expression and clinicopathological data in PD-AC.Methods LGR5 expression was identified in 41 PD-AC cases using RNAscope, which is a highly sensitive RNA in situ hybridization method.
