Evaluation of a three-gene methylation model for correlating lymph node metastasis in postoperative early gastric cancer adjacent samples

Abstract

The three-gene methylation prediction model for EGC LNM is highly effective in both cancerous and adjacent tissue samples in a postoperative setting, providing reliable diagnostic information. This extends its clinical utility, particularly when tumor samples are scarce, making it a valuable tool for evaluating LNM status and assisting in treatment planning.
