The MK2 pathway is associated with gastric cancer metastasis. a MK2 gene expression is significantly increased with gastric cancer lymph node metastasis illustrated via box-plots. b an overlay of the distribution of MK2 gene expression fold increase among subjects with and without metastasis. c The area under the ROC curve for the association between the odds of developing metastasis within 5 years after surgical resection for every 5 units increase in MK2
