Study population: 200 gastric tumour and normal tissue samples, as well as up to 50 non-neoplastic gastric tissues samples from individuals without gastric cancer (treated for other reasons, such as gastric ulcers) will be obtained from the tissue archives of the NUH Department of Pathology. These samples were selected because relevant clinical information of these samples are available from gastric database and will allow us to perform association studies.
