Stroma AReactive Invasion Front Areas (SARIFA) – a new prognostic biomarker in gastric cancer related to tumor‐promoting adipocytes

Compared to other malignancies, there is a lack of easy-to-evaluate biomarkers for gastric cancer, which is associated with an adverse clinical outcome in many cases. Here, we present Stroma AReactive Invasion Front Areas (SARIFA) as a new histological prognostic marker. We defined SARIFA as the direct contact between a cluster of tumor glands/cells comprising at least five tumor cells and inconspicuous surrounding adipose tissue at the invasion...
