Decoy receptor 3 (DcR3), a newly discovered member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, is not only upregulated in cancer cells derived from various cell lineages, but also correlates with the overall survival of certain cancer patients. The objective of the present study was to investigate the expression ofDcR3 protein in tissue of gastric precancerous lesions and carcinoma.
