Abstract
Background/aim: The function of the S-100 protein family member hornerin (HRNR) in gastric cancer (GC) tissues is largely unknown. We researched the clinical significance of HRNR expression in GC tissues of patients with pathological (p)Stage II/III GC after curative resection.
Patients and methods: We included patients with pStage II/III GC who underwent curative gastrectomy (n=253). Expression levels of HRNR in GC tissue and in the adjacent normal mucosa were determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Clinicopathological features and overall survival (OS) were compared in patients with different HRNR expression levels in GC tissue.
Results: HRNR expression levels were significantly higher in GC tissues than in the adjacent normal mucosa. HRNR expression level in GC tissue showed sex differences. The 5-year OS rate in the high-HRNR expression group was significantly worse than that in the low-expression group (5-year survival 53.6% vs. 74.9%; p=0.004). Furthermore, on multivariate analysis, high-HRNR expression was an independent predictor of poor OS (hazard ratio=1.534; 95% confidence interval=1.130-2.618; p=0.011).
Conclusion: In patients with pStage II/III GC after curative gastrectomy, HRNR expression in GC tissue may be a useful prognostic marker.
期刊介绍:
ANTICANCER RESEARCH is an independent international peer-reviewed journal devoted to the rapid publication of high quality original articles and reviews on all aspects of experimental and clinical oncology. Prompt evaluation of all submitted articles in confidence and rapid publication within 1-2 months of acceptance are guaranteed.
ANTICANCER RESEARCH was established in 1981 and is published monthly (bimonthly until the end of 2008). Each annual volume contains twelve issues and index. Each issue may be divided into three parts (A: Reviews, B: Experimental studies, and C: Clinical and Epidemiological studies).
Special issues, presenting the proceedings of meetings or groups of papers on topics of significant progress, will also be included in each volume. There is no limitation to the number of pages per issue.
