Core Tip	CD24 and CD133 exhibit high positive detection rates in gastric cancer tissues. The co-expression of CD24 and CD133 was closely related to the advanced tumor stage. Co-positivity of CD24 and CD133 predicts poor survival. The co-expression of CD24/CD133 may reflect the higher invasive and metastatic potential of gastric cancer. This combined indicator can be used as a potential prognostic marker and direction for targeted therapeutic strategies.
