Expression, Location, Clinical Implication, and Bioinformatics Analysis of RNASET2 in Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Background: In addition to exploiting its ribonuclease capacity, Ribonuclease T2 (RNASET2) has been reported to exert anti-angiogenic and anti-tumorigenic effects in several tumors. However, the role of RNASET2 in gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore...
