ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
Gastric cancers (GC) are divided into subtypes based on molecular profile Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive, microsatellite instability (MSI), chromosomal instability (CIN) and genomically stable (GS) tumours. The prognostic impact of this classification is unclear. The aim was to evaluate whether the molecular subtypes determined using in-situ hybridisation (ISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) are associated with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
The study included 503 GC patients. Based on ISH (EBV) and IHC (MSI and TP53), tumours were divided into EBV-positive, MSI, CIN (EBVneg/MSS/TP53aberrant) and GS (EBVneg/MSS/TP53wild-type) subgroups. Survival analyses with intestinal- and diffuse-type tumours were examined separately. EBV-positive tumours associated with male sex. Both EBV-positive and MSI tumours associated with intestinal type. CIN tumours associated with intestinal-type and positive lymph node status. GS tumours associated with diffuse-type and negative lymph node status. In the total cohort, no significant differences in the 5-year survival were observed. In intestinal tumours, the 5-year survival was better in EBV-positive tumours compared with GS tumours [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.57, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.33-0.99]. In diffuse tumours, the 5-year survival was worse in CIN tumours compared with GS tumours (HR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.14-2.18). In radically resected diffuse tumours, the 5-year survival was worse in MSI tumours compared with GS tumours (HR = 3.26, 95% CI = 1.20-8.82).CONCLUSIONS:
The molecular classification is associated with histological type but not prognosis in GC. As the prognostic effects of molecular subtypes in intestinal- and diffuse-type cancers may differ, combining histological and molecular information is recommended for future studies.Palabras clave
