摘要

This study proposes a novel non-invasive diagnostic approach utilizing transcriptomic profiling of liquid biopsy samples for the early detection of occult peritoneal metastases in locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC). By analyzing RNA expression patterns of cancer cells, this method identifies specific gene signatures associated with peritoneal spread, potentially offering a more sensitive and comprehensive diagnostic tool compared to conventional imaging techniques. A 4-mRNA panel (BUB1, SPC25, CT83, MMP3) integrated with clinical features was developed into a Risk Stratification Assessment (RSA) model, demonstrating superior predictive accuracy in multiple cohorts with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.836 in training and 0.882 in validation. This approach offers a promising alternative for early diagnosis, improving treatment decisions and clinical outcomes for gastric cancer patients, while enabling a shift from tissue-based testing to non-invasive blood-based diagnostics.
