PG - 320-5 LID - 10.1111/cts.12263 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: To detect the expression of eIF3f and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2)/neu in gastric cancer (GC), correlation with their clinicopathological parameters and the relationship of eIF3f and Her-2/neu in the occurrence and development of GC. METHODS: A total of 195 gastrectomy specimens with stage I to III were examined for eIF3f expression by immunohistochemistry and for Her-2/neu expression by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with the median follow-up period of 38 months. RESULTS: The positive expression rate of eIF3f in GC and adjacent noncancerous tissue were 33.8% and 59.5%, respectively. eIF3f levels were linked to more advanced tumor stages and likelihood of recurrence (all p < 0.05). The Kaplan-Meier survival curves indicated that decreased expression of eIF3f could serve as a prognosis marker for poor outcome of GC patients (p = 0.04). 15.9% of GC specimens were positive for Her-2/neu, but whose expression was of no correlation with patients' survival. Patients who were positive for Her-2/neu also had high eIF3f expression levels (p = 0.0295). CONCLUSION: Results suggest that eIF3f may play an important role in recurrence, thus representing a promising predictive marker for the prognosis of GC. But Her-2/neu has no relationship with the prognosis of GC. The clinical significance of eIF3f and Her-2/neu remains to be further investigated. CI - (c) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
