A Novel Index Including Age, Sex, hTERT, and Methylated RUNX3 Is Useful for Diagnosing Early Gastric Cancer.
Introduction: As the incidence of gastric cancer (GC) is increasing in East Asia including Japan, a simple blood test for early GC is needed as an alternative to upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy. We performed this study to address this issue.
Methods: We collected serum samples from 319 participants comprising 225 healthy subjects without GC (control group) and 94 patients with early GC (early GC group). After evaluating copy numbers of serum hTERT and methylated RUNX3 (m-RUNX3) using the Combined Restriction Digital PCR (CORD) assay, which we developed, we assessed the diagnostic performance of hTERT and m-RUNX3 for early GC.
Results: Serum levels of hTERT and m-RUNX3 were significantly higher in the early GC group than in the control group. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.89 for hTERT and 0.78 for m-RUNX3. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed age, sex, hTERT copy number, and m-RUNX3 copy number to be independent factors for early GC. We then established a prediction formula and named it the ASTEm-R3 (age, sex, hTERT, and m-RUNX3) index. The AUC of the ASTEm-R3 index was 0.93 with a sensitivity of 79.7% and specificity of 91.1%.
Conclusion: We demonstrated excellent performance of the ASTEm-R3 index using the CORD assay to detect early GC. This index might be a promising alternative to UGI endoscopy.
期刊介绍:
Although laboratory and clinical cancer research need to be closely linked, observations at the basic level often remain removed from medical applications. This journal works to accelerate the translation of experimental results into the clinic, and back again into the laboratory for further investigation. The fundamental purpose of this effort is to advance clinically-relevant knowledge of cancer, and improve the outcome of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malignant disease. The journal publishes significant clinical studies from cancer programs around the world, along with important translational laboratory findings, mini-reviews (invited and submitted) and in-depth discussions of evolving and controversial topics in the oncology arena. A unique feature of the journal is a new section which focuses on rapid peer-review and subsequent publication of short reports of phase 1 and phase 2 clinical cancer trials, with a goal of insuring that high-quality clinical cancer research quickly enters the public domain, regardless of the trial’s ultimate conclusions regarding efficacy or toxicity.
