CD133 is one of the most important stem cell markers in solid cancers and Ki-67 a marker that reflects proliferation. The relationships between expression prognosis gastric carcinoma are unknown need exploring. We examined 50 cancer patients retrospectively Radiation Oncology Department Faculty Medicine, Gazi University. was using immunohistochemical staining. survival rate with positive significantly worse than negative (p=0.04). Expression had correlation (r=0.350; p=0.014). Multivariate analysis revealed an independent prognostic factor (p=0.02). Conclusion, may be useful cancer.
