After administration of the carcinogen, quercetin was administered. The whole stomach and a part of duodenum were sampled, cut open and tumors were recorded. The specimens were histopathologically investigated and the expression of surviving was examined with immunohistochemical analysis.&lt;strong&gt; Results and Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; The treatment with quercetin significantly increases body weight in the rats after N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine administration. Survivin expression in glandular stomachs of normal rats, of rats in adenocarcinomas and quercetin at dose dependent manner treated rats were 0%, 90%, 75%, 33.3-25%, respectively. Compared with the survivin expression in negative rats, the differences were significant. Compared with the survivin expression in normal rats, the differences were significant. Histological observations of stomach tissues too correlated with the biochemical observations. These findings indicated that the Quercetin treatment could stimulate immunity activity in rats with N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine induced gastric carcinoma and have pronounced effect on survivin which is an attractive target for gastric cancer therapy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">215</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lubna Azmi &lt;sup&gt;1,2&lt;/sup&gt;, Ila Shukla&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Shyam Sundar Gupta&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Aniruddh Chaudhary&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Padam Kant&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Narayan Prasad Yadav&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;, Chandana Venkateswara Rao&lt;sup&gt;1* &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
