Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. The identification of gastric cancer subtypes related to recognizable microbial agents may play a pivotal role in the targeted prevention and treatment of this cancer. The current study is conducted to define the frequency of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in gastric cancers of four major provinces, with different incidence rates of gastric cancers, in Iran. METHODS Paraffin blocks of 682 cases of various types of gastric cancer from Tehran, South and North areas of Iran were collected. Twelve tissue microarray (TMA) blocks were constructed from these blocks. Localization of EBV in tumors was assessed by in situ hybridization (ISH) for EBV-encoded RNA (EBER). Chi-squared test was used to evaluate the statistical significance between EBV-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) and clinicopathologic tumor characteristics. RESULTS Fourteen out of 682 cases (2.1%) of gastric adenocarcinoma were EBER-positive. EBER was positive in 8 out of 22 (36.4%) of medullary carcinomas and 6 out of 660 (0.9%) of non-medullary type, which was a statistically significant difference (P<0.001). The EBVaGCs were more frequent in younger age (P=0.009) and also showed a trend toward the lower stage of the tumor (P=0.075). CONCLUSION EBV-associated gastric adenocarcinoma has a low prevalence in Iran. This finding can be due to epidemiologic differences in risk factors and exposures, and the low number of gastric medullary carcinomas in the population. It may also be related to gastric tumor heterogeneity not detected with the TMA technique.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a pathogen known to cause a number of malignancies, often taking years for them to develop after primary infection. EBV-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) is one such malignancy, and is an immunologically, molecularly and pathologically distinct entity from EBV-negative gastric cancer (EBVnGC). In comparison with EBVnGCs, EBVaGCs overexpress a number of immune regulatory genes to help form an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), have improved prognosis, and overall have an "immune-hot" phenotype. This review provides an overview of the histopathology, clinical features and clinical outcomes of EBVaGCs. We also summarize the differences between the TMEs of EBVaGCs and EBVnGCs, which includes significant differences in cell composition and immune infiltration. A list of available EBVaGC and EBVnGC gene expression datasets and computational tools are also provided within this review. Finally, an overview is provided of the various chemo- and immuno-therapeutics available in treating gastric cancers (GCs), with a focus on EBVaGCs.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) ranks third among cancers in terms of mortality rate worldwide. A clear understanding of the mechanisms underlying the genesis and progression of GC will contribute to clinical decision making. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant among diverse mRNA modification types and regulates multiple facets of RNA metabolism. In recent years, emerging studies have shown that m6A modifications are involved in gastric carcinoma tumorigenesis and progression and can potentially be valuable new prospects for diagnosis and prognosis. This article reviews the recent progress regarding m6A in GC.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection is a risk factor for the development of gastric cancer (GC), and the role of co-infection with viruses, such as Epstein-Barr virus, in carcinogenesis cannot be ignored. Furthermore, it is now known that genetic factors such as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in many diseases, including GC. On the other side, they can also be used as therapeutic goals. Modified lncRNAs can cause aberrant expression of genes encoding proximal proteins, which are essential for the development of carcinoma. In this review, we present the most recent studies on lncRNAs in GC, concentrating on their roles in H. pylori and EBV infections, and discuss some of the molecular mechanisms of these GC-related pathogens. There was also a discussion of the research gaps and future perspectives.

Gastric Cancer 2024; 27:146-154.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) is a distinct molecular subgroup showing excellent outcomes after surgery for localized disease. Prominent immune cell infiltration in EBVaGC reflects the immunogenicity of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and, as suggested by some investigators, responsiveness to immune checkpoint inhibitors in the palliative setting. However, few data are available on the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and prognosis of EBVaGC patients receiving palliative cytotoxic chemotherapy. METHODS In this retrospective study, we identified 1061 patients with metastatic, recurrent, or locally advanced unresectable gastric cancer (GC) who started first-line fluoropyrimidine/platinum (FP) doublet chemotherapy with or without trastuzumab from January 2015 to August 2018. For 766 patients with available tumor tissue, the presence of EBV in cancer cells was evaluated by EBV-encoded RNA in situ hybridization and correlated with clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes. RESULTS Among the patients evaluated (n = 766), 40 (5.0%) were EBV-positive. EBVaGC was associated with male sex (p = 0.009) and lower neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR < 2.46, p = 0.03). Efficacy of first-line FP chemotherapy, in terms of response rate ad progression-free survival (PFS), did not differ between EBVaGC and EBV-negative GC (overall response rate: 53.8% vs. 51.8%, p = 0.99; median PFS: 6.4 vs. 6.7 months, p = 0.90). However, overall survival tended to be better with EBVaGC than EBV-negative GC (16.4 vs. 14.0 months, p = 0.07). CONCLUSIONS EBVaGC accounted for 5% of metastatic/unresectable GCs. While EBVaGC was not associated with better response to or PFS following first-line cytotoxic chemotherapy, it showed a trend toward better overall survival.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation due to a Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a representative cause of gastric cancer that can promote gastric carcinogenesis by abnormally activating immune cells and increasing the inflammatory cytokines levels. H. pylori infections directly cause DNA double-strand breaks in gastric epithelial cells and genetic damage by increasing the enzymatic activity of cytidine deaminase. Eventually, gastric cancer is induced through dysplasia. Hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes is an important cause of gastric cancer because of a H. pylori infection. In addition, the changes in gastric microbiota and the mucosal inflammatory changes associated with a co-infection with the Epstein-Barr virus are associated with gastric cancer development. DNA damage induced by H. pylori and the subsequent responses of gastric stem cells have implications for gastric carcinogenesis. Although the pathogenesis of H. pylori has been established, many uncertainties remain, requiring more study.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent tumour with high morbidity rates worldwide, and its incidence among younger populations is rising. Early diagnosis of CRC can help control the associated mortality. Fungi are common microorganisms in nature. Recent studies have shown that fungi may have a similar association with tumours as bacteria do. As an increasing number of tumour-associated fungi are discovered, this provides new ideas for the diagnosis and prognosis of tumours. The relationship between fungi and colorectal tumours has also been recently identified by scientists. Therefore, this paper describes the limitations and prospects of the application of fungi in diagnosing CRC and predicting CRC prognosis.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation is linked to carcinogenesis, particularly in the digestive organs, i.e., the stomach, colon, and liver. The mechanism of this effect has, however, only partly been focused on. In this review, we focus on different forms of chronic hepatitis, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, and chronic gastritis, conditions predisposing individuals to the development of malignancy. Chronic inflammation may cause malignancy because (1) the cause of the chronic inflammation is itself genotoxic, (2) substances released from the inflammatory cells may be genotoxic, (3) the cell death induced by the inflammation induces a compensatory increase in proliferation with an inherent risk of mutation, (4) changes in cell composition due to inflammation may modify function, resulting in hormonal disturbances affecting cellular proliferation. The present review focuses on chronic gastritis (Helicobacter pylori or autoimmune type) since all four mechanisms may be relevant to this condition. Genotoxicity due to the hepatitis B virus is an important factor in hepatocellular cancer and viral infection can similarly be central in the etiology and malignancy of inflammatory bowel diseases. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the dominating cause of chronic gastritis and has not been shown to be genotoxic, so its carcinogenic effect is most probably due to the induction of atrophic oxyntic gastritis leading to hypergastrinemia.

Abstract
Background and objectives: This study aims to elucidate the prognostic implications of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in gastric carcinomas (GCs) through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Materials and Methods: In total, 57 eligible studies and 22,943 patients were included in this meta-analysis. We compared the prognoses of EBV-infected and non-infected GC patients. The subgroup analysis was performed based on the study location, molecular classification, and Lauren's classification. This study was checked according to the PRISMA 2020. The meta-analysis was performed using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software package. Results: EBV infection was found in 10.4% (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.082-0.131) of GC patients. The EBV-infected GC patients had a better overall survival compared with the EBV-non-infected GC patients (hazard ratio (HR) 0.890, 95% CI 0.816-0.970). In the subgroup analysis based on molecular classification, no significant differences were found between EBV+ and microsatellite instability and microsatellite stable (MSS)/EBV- subgroups (HR 1.099, 95% CI 0.885-1.364 and HR 0.954, 95% CI 0.872-1.044, respectively). In the diffuse type of Lauren's classification, EBV-infected GCs have a better prognosis compared with the EBV-non-infected GCs (HR 0.400, 95% CI 0.300-0.534). The prognostic impact of EBV infection was found in the Asian and American subgroups but not in the European subgroup (HR 0.880, 95% CI 0.782-0.991, HR 0.840, 95% CI 0.750-0.941, and HR 0.915, 95% CI 0.814-1.028). Conclusions: EBV infection is a favorable survival factor for GCs. However, the prognostic implications of EBV infection in the new molecular classification are not clear.
