Description
Weng and co-authors build a prediction chart for stomach cancer returning after surgery, adding a gene signal to standard factors. Their 2026 OncoTargets and Therapy study reviews one hundred fifty-two patients who had radical gastric surgery at one center, followed for eighteen months. Tumor tissue was stained for HOXA9, a development gene.
About thirty-eight percent of patients saw their cancer return during follow-up. Node spread, advanced stage, vessel invasion, and high HOXA9 each independently raised the recurrence risk. Combined into one nomogram, the four factors predicted recurrence far better than any single one alone. The authors offer the chart as a practical tool for sorting patients into closer or lighter follow-up after surgery.
