Cancer Comprehensive Analysis in Gastric Carcinoma: Benefits and New Perspectives
Gastric cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancers worldwide. Screening tests as well as tools for prediction of treatment outcomes and prognosis have been developed, but they have many limitations. The integration of liquid biopsy provided new aspects in screening and diagnosis of gastric...

Gastric cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancers worldwide. Screening tests as well as tools for prediction of treatment outcomes and prognosis have been developed, but they have many limitations. The integration of liquid biopsy provided new aspects in screening and diagnosis of gastric cancer. In the present study, we used different techniques, studying the genetic and epigenetic profile of circulating tumor cells. We aimed to acquire all the available information, compare it with already existing studies, and evaluate the benefit of this approach. A blood sample was isolated from 2 gastric cancer patients at stages III–IV, followed by the isolation of CTCs. The circulating tumor cells were used for array comparative genomic hybridization, next-generation sequencing, and whole gene expression microarrays. Different variants were detected, while the microsatellite instability status was stable in both cases. The tumor mutational burden was low to medium.
