Identification of the four molecular subtypes provides a roadmap for patient stratification and trials of targeted therapies.
The study proposes a molecular classification of gastric cancer into four subtypes: Epstein-Barr virus-positive, microsatellite unstable, genomically stable, and chromosomal instability.
Epstein-Barr virus-positive gastric tumours display recurrent PIK3CA mutations, extreme DNA hypermethylation, and amplification of JAK2, CD274 (PD-L1), and PDCD1LG2 (PD-L2).
