Core Tip	β-catenin is involved in the development of multiple tumors. It has been proved that β-catenin is important in cell-to-cell adhesion and the progression of gastric cancer. This meta-analysis demonstrated that abnormal β-catenin expression was associated with poor prognosis in patients with gastric cancer, and may predict invasion and metastasis.
