Table 1. Intrinsic Subtypes.
G-INT GC | G-DIF GC | |
---|---|---|
Histology | Intestinal histology (91/133) | Diffuse histology (64/107) |
Molecular alterations | Genes up-regulated were related to carbohydrate and protein metabolism (FUT2) and cell adhesion (LGALS4, CDH17) | Cell proliferation (AURKB) and fatty acid metabolism (ELOVL5) functional annotations were enriched |
Treatment reaction | In vitro study, G-INT cell lines were sensitive to 5-FU and oxaliplatin | In vitro study, G-DIF cell lines were more sensitive to cisplatin |
Patients with G-INT tumors may derive benefit from adjuvant 5-FU-based therapy | ||
Prognosis | Superior overall survival | Poor |
G-INT: genomic intestinal; G-DIF: genomic diffuse; GC: gastric cancer; AURKB: aurora kinase B; CDH17: cadherin 17; ELOVL5: ELOVL family member 5; FUT2: fucosyltransferase 2; LGALS4: lectin; 5-FU: 5-fluorouracil.
