Background. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between HER2 overexpression in the tumor and MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC6, and p53 status and clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer patients.Methods. This retrospective study included 282 consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent surgery at the Kosin University Gospel Hospital between April 2011 and December 2012. All tumor samples were examined for HER2 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC6, and p53 expression by staining. A retrospective review of the medical records was conducted to determine the correlation between the presence of HER2 overexpression and clinicopathological factors.Results. The HER2-positive rate was 18.1%. Although no association was found between HER2 expression and MUC5AC, the expression of MUC2, MUC6, and p53 was significantly correlated with HER2 positivity, respectively (P= 0.004, 0.037, 0.002). Multivariate analysis revealed that HER2 overexpression and nodal status were independent prognostic factors.Conclusions. HER2 overexpression in gastric carcinoma is an independent poor prognostic factor.

295 Background: Several biomarkers based on serum chemistry have been reported to be associated with the prognosis of several types of cancers. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of preoperative mGPS and NLR after curative resection for gastric cancer. Methods: A total of 295 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy for primary gastric cancer at our institution from January 2013 to December 2017 were enrolled in this study. The mGPS was calculated by CRP and Alb using standard thresholds ( > 0.5 mg/dL for CRP and < 3.5 g/dL for Alb). The NLR was defined as absolute neutrophil count divided by absolute lymphocyte count. The survival curves of patients stratified by each parameter were plotted by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank test. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to select parameters independently correlated with prognosis. Results: The median follow-up time was 36.7 months, and 29 patients died during follow-up. The estimated 5-year survival rate was 83.1%. Results from the univariate analyses showed mGPS2 (CRP > 0.5 mg/dL and Alb < 3.5 g/dL) was associated with poor survival while NLR and NLRc was not (P < 0.001, P = 0.506, and P = 0.423, respectively). In the multivariate analyses, the mGPS2 was identified as an independent predictive factor for OS in gastric cancer patients after curative resection (HR: 2.624; 95% CI: 1.058-6.505; P = 0.037). Conclusions: Preoperative mGPS2 was associated with worse survival after curative resection of gastric cancer patients. Based on our study, those with mPGS2 may be warranted to receive additional therapy or nutritional support to acquire better survival.
