Detaljeret beskrivelse
Appendiceal cancer is a rare and heterogeneous malignancy with limited clinically actionable biomarkers for risk stratification. Histologic grade remains one of the strongest determinants of prognosis, but outcomes among patients with lower-grade disease remain variable. This study is designed to characterize the molecular architecture of appendiceal cancer through integrated analysis of DNA methylation and m6A epitranscriptomic profiles generated from archived tumor tissue specimens from the same patient cohort.
The study uses formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded appendiceal cancer tissues, and where available benign or normal appendix tissues, together with matched clinicopathologic and follow-up data. DNA methylation profiling is performed to evaluate tumor-associated methylation patterns, identify differentially methylated regions or features, and assess their association with clinical and survival outcomes. In parallel, m6A epitranscriptomic profiling is performed using m6A-enriched RNA sequencing with matched input RNA sequencing to quantify transcriptome-wide m6A enrichment.
Molecular data are analyzed to identify tumor-associated epigenetic and epitranscriptomic alterations, define molecular subtypes, and construct continuous molecular risk scores. These molecular features are evaluated in relation to histologic grade, histologic subtype, lymph node metastasis, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, peritoneal cancer index, overall survival, and progression-free survival.
The study aims to determine whether DNA methylation and m6A-based profiling can provide complementary molecular information for appendiceal cancer classification, prognostic modeling, and future biomarker development.

Appendiceal Cancer Cohort
Patients with histologically confirmed appendiceal cancer whose archived tumor tissue specimens and clinicopathologic data are available for integrated DNA methylation and m6A epitranscriptomic profiling.
|
Archived tissue specimens undergo DNA methylation profiling to characterize tumor-associated methylation alterations and identify methylation-based molecular features associated with clinicopathologic variables and survival outcomes.
The profiling is performed for research purposes only and does not assign treatment.
Archived tissue specimens undergo m6A methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing with matched input RNA sequencing to quantify transcriptome-wide m6A enrichment.
The resulting molecular data are used for subtype discovery, m6A score construction, reduced-panel development, and association with clinicopathologic and survival outcomes.
|
|
Benign Appendix Reference Cohort
Individuals with benign or normal appendix tissue specimens used as non-malignant reference samples for comparison of tumor-associated DNA methylation and m6A epitranscriptomic features.
