- Abstract
- BackgroundIn gastric cancer (GC) patients, metastatic progression through the lymphatic, hematogenous, peritoneal, and ovarian routes, is the ultimate cause of death. However, the genomic and evolutionary characteristics of metastatic GC have not been widely evaluated.MethodsWhole-exome sequencing data were analyzed for 99 primary and paired metastatic gastric cancers from 15 patients who underwent gastrectomy and metastasectomy.ResultsHematogenous metastatic tumors were associated with increased chromosomal instability and de novo gain/amplification in cancer driver genes, whereas peritoneal/ovarian metastasis was linked to sustained chromosomal stability and de novo somatic mutations in driver genes. The genomic distance of the hematogenous and peritoneal metastatic tumors was found to be closer to the primary tumors than lymph node (LN) metastasis, while ovarian metastasis was closer to LN and peritoneal metastasis than the primary tumor. Two migration patterns for metastatic GCs were identified; branched and diaspora. Both molecular subtypes of the metastatic tumors, rather than the primary tumor, and their migration patterns were related to patient survival.ConclusionsGenomic characteristics of metastatic gastric cancer is distinctive by routes and associated with patients' prognosis along with genomic evolution pattenrs, indicating that both primary and metastatic gastric cancers require genomic evaluation.
