Outline of Final Research Achievements

Although minimal invasive treatment is widely accepted for early stage of gastric cancer (EGC), we still do not have any appropriate risk markers to detect residual neoplasia and some potential of recurrence. Our goal is to verify the potency of our three selected candidate genes (Sox17, MINT25, miR34) as a treatment marker for EGC. 352 EGC cases were registered and endoscopically removed. 182 cases could followed endoscopically for 2 years (51.7%). Sensitivity, specificity and AUC were as follows. Sox17 (70.0%, 48.1%, 0.646), MINT25 (70.0%, 35.2% 0.555), miR34 (65.0%, 49.4%, 0.578). We have developed a new methodology for gastric cancer detection by DNA methylation in gastric washes. It is easy and useful for early detection of recurrence after endoscopic treatment in GCa patients.
