Article Abstract
tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) are a new classification of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) derived from the specific cleavage of precursors and mature tRNAs. Accumulating recent evidence has shown that tRFs are frequently abnormal in several cancers. Nevertheless, the role of tRFs in gastric cancer and its mechanism remain unclear. In this study, we found abnormal expression of tRF-3017A (derived from tRNA-Val-TAC) in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines and confirmed its effect on promoting the invasion and migration of gastric cancer cells through functional experiments . Analysis of clinicopathologic data showed patients with higher tRF-3017A were associated with significantly higher lymph node metastasis. Mechanistic investigation implies that tRF-3017A regulates the tumor suppressor gene NELL2 through forming the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) with Argonaute (AGO) proteins. In this study, we found that higher tRF-3017A were associated with significantly higher lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer patients and the tRF-3017A may play a role in promoting the migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells by silencing tumor suppressor NELL2.

Successful Identification and Treatment of Cancer of Unknown Primary Originating From Gastric Cancer Using Comprehensive Genomic Profiling and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy: A Case Report.

Background: Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is a challenging malignancy characterized by metastatic tumors with an unidentified primary site, even after extensive pathological and radiographic evaluation. Recent advancements in gene expression profiling and comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) using next-generation sequencing (NGS) have enabled the identification of potential tissue origins, thereby facilitating personalized treatment strategies. Although most cases of CUP present as adenocarcinomas or poorly differentiated tumors, the treatment remains largely empirical, with limited success from molecularly tailored therapies.

Objectives: To study the impact of SURF4 expression level on long-term prognosis of gastric cancer (GC) and biological behaviors of GC cells.
Methods: SURF4 expression level in GC and its association with long-term patient prognosis were analyzed using publicly available databases and in 155 GC patients with low and high SURF4 expressions detected immunohistochemically. The Cox proportional hazard model and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to analyze independent prognostic predictors of GC and the 5-year survival rate of the patients with different SURF4 expression levels.

Objectives: To analyze the differences in the prognosis of gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC) among different races using the US Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.
Methods: We analyzed the data of patients with gastric SRCC from the SEER database from 2000 to 2020, and divided the patients into cohorts of whites, blacks, Asians or Pacific Islanders, American Indians/Alaska Natives according to their race. The prognosis and treatment of the cohorts were evaluated using baseline demographic analysis, Kamplan-Meier survival curve, and nomogram analysis.
Intrapatient genomic divergence across multiple primary tumors in young Korean patients.

Purpose: Multiple primary tumors arising in the same individual pose challenges for precision oncology, particularly in the context of hereditary cancer syndromes such as Lynch syndrome. While these tumors may originate from a shared germline predisposition, it remains unclear whether they also share somatic alterations that could be therapeutically exploited. This study aimed to characterize the extent of somatic genomic overlap between synchronous or metachronous gastric and colorectal cancers within young Korean patients.

Purpose: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common dose-limiting toxicity associated with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in gastric cancer patients. Recent studies suggest that high-dose intravenous selenium may exert neuroprotective effects in patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy.
Methods: This pilot study analyzed patients with stage III gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent gastrectomy between January and December 2024.
