Wild-Type TP53 Predicts Poor Prognosis in Patients with Gastric Cancer.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: TP53 gene is often mutated in gastric cancer (GC), nonetheless its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis is still unclear. Here, we sought to ascertain the difference in clinical phenotypes between TP53 wild-type and mutant tumors in confirmed gastric cancer patients. To this end, we analyzed TP53 mutation status of 415 TCGA GC patients in relation to their clinical and pathological features as well as prognosis. Longrank Test showed that the survival rate of gastric cancer patients with TP53 WT was significantly lower than that of TP53 mut. Compared with TP53 mut gastric cancer patients with low mRNA expression, TP53 WT patients with low mRNA expression have lower overall survival rate. The death risk of TP53 WT gastric cancer patients is 1.395 times that of TP53 mut gastric cancer patients. The death risk of TP53 mut gastric cancer patients is not related to age, and advanced age is not a risk factor. However, the death risk of TP53 WT patients with gastric cancer increases with age, and the death risk of patients over 70 years old is 1.899 times that of patients under 60 years old. These results suggest that the prognosis of elderly gastric cancer patients with TP53 WT is worse.Conclusion
our results indicate that the status of TP53 mutation in GC is significantly correlated with clinical or molecular categories and that the prognosis of GC patients with WT TP53 is worse than that of patients with mutant TP53. Therefore, our data emphasize the importance of distinguishing TP53 WT to predict poor overall survival and relapse-free survival in patients with GC.
