ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the study was to conduct a comprehensive genomic characterization of gene alterations, microsatellite instability (MSI), and tumor mutational burden (TMB) in submucosal-penetrating (Pen) early gastric cancers (EGCs) with varying prognoses.METHODS:
Samples from EGC patients undergoing surgery and with 10-year follow-up data available were collected. Tissue genomic alterations were characterized using Trusight Oncology panel (TSO500). Pathway instability (PI) scores for a selection of 218 GC-related pathways were calculated both for the present case series and EGCs from the TCGA cohort.RESULTS:
Higher age and tumor location in the upper-middle tract are significantly associated with an increased hazard of relapse or death from any cause (p = 0.006 and p = 0.032). Even if not reaching a statistical significance, Pen A tumors more frequently present higher TMB values, higher frequency of MSI-subtypes and an overall increase in PI scores, along with an enrichment in immune pathways. ARID1A gene was observed to be significantly more frequently mutated in Pen A tumors (p = 0.006), as well as in patients with high TMB (p = 0.027). Tumors harboring LRP1B alterations seem to have a higher hazard of relapse or death from any cause (p = 0.089), being mutated mainly in relapsed patients (p = 0.093).CONCLUSIONS:
We found that the most aggressive subtype Pen A is characterized by a higher frequency of ARID1A mutations and a higher genetic instability, while LRP1B alterations seem to be related to a lower disease-free survival. Further investigations are needed to provide a rationale for the use of these markers to stratify prognosis in EGC patients.Palabras clave
