ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Gastric cancer with fusion genes involving the Rho GTPase-activating protein domain (RhoGAP-GC) is mainly included in the genomically stable type of The Cancer Genome Atlas classification. Clinical implications and histological characteristics of RhoGAP-GC in the early phase remain unclear.

METHODS:

We analyzed 878 consecutive pT1b GCs for RhoGAP and its partner genes using fluorescence in situ hybridization assay.

RESULTS:

RhoGAP fusion was detected in 57 (6.5%) GCs. Univariate analysis revealed that female sex, middle-lower third tumor location, advanced macroscopic type, tumor diameter > 2 cm, pT1b2, lymphatic invasion, venous invasion, negative EBER-ISH, and RhoGAP fusion were significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (LNM). Multivariate analysis presented RhoGAP fusion, lymphatic invasion, tumor diameter > 2 cm, advanced macroscopic type, venous invasion, and middle-lower third tumor location as independent risk factors for LNM. Notably, RhoGAP fusion had the highest odds ratio (3.92) for LNM among analyzed parameters (95% CI 2.12-7.27; p < 0.001). Compared to non-RhoGAP-GCs, RhoGAP-GCs were significantly frequent in younger females and showed the highest incidence of lymphatic invasion (56.2%) and LNM (49.1%) (p < 0.001). Histologically, microtubular architecture with pseudo-trabecular interconnection and small aggregations of tumor cells with a varied amount of cytoplasmic mucin, named "microtubular-mucocellular (MTMC) histology," was found in 93.0% (53 of 57) of RhoGAP-GCs in the intramucosal area. MTMC histology showed high sensitivity and negative predictive value (93.0% and 99.4%, respectively) for RhoGAP fusion, albeit positive predictive value is low (34.9%).

CONCLUSION:

RhoGAP-GC is linked to a characteristic MTMC histology and a high incidence of LNM.
