Progression risk of gland-forming gastric neoplasms assessed by DNA copy-number profiling
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We tried progression risk prediction of individual gland-forming gastric cancers using genomic DNA copy number profile as a genetic lineage marker. The unsupervised clustering of DNA copy-number profiles of 107 gastric cancer samples, using large-sized (≥ 6 probes) genes, were divided into the loss-rich (A) and gain-rich (B) clusters. The T1/T2-4 ratio was significantly higher in cluster B and in cluster A (P < 0.0007). Small cancers (≤ 2 cm in diameter) were more frequent in cluster B than in cluster A. These 2 clusters were not linked to the frequency of metastasis but to the liability to progression from early to advanced stage; the cluster A may more readily become advanced than cluster B. Our approach suggested that the genetic lineages of early and advanced gland-forming gastric cancers are largely different; the eradication of small cluster B tumors (≤ 2 cm) by the present ESD indication may be valid, but not be effective for reduction of large, aggressive cluster A tumors.
