Objective: To explore the relationship between vessel invasion (VI) and clinicopathological features and prognosis in patients with gastric cancer (GC).

Methods: A total of 3600 cases of patients with GC who underwent radical gastrectomy in gastrointestinal surgery department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from June 2014 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and filtering them based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. To reduce the possibility of selection bias about the impact of VI, patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of it, and performed a one-to-one propensity score matching (PSM), resulting in 724 patients in each group.

Department of Molecular Pathology, Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Henan Cancer Hospital, No 127, Dongming Road, Zhengzhou, 450008, Henan, China.

Methods: In this study, a novel gene methylation panel was developed for a blood-based test, and its diagnostic efficacy was evaluated using a cohort of 304 participants (203 cases, 101 controls).
