The objectives of this study were to clarify how environmental factors such as air pollution affect the occurrence and development of gastric cancer; to identify patient-specific macrogenomic markers of gastric cancer; and to investigate the mechanism of gastric cancer development based on environmental factors and macrogenomic data.

Overall Survival (OS)
Description: Time from diagnosis to death from any cause, measured via medical records and follow-up interviews. Unit: Months
Time frame: From date of diagnosis until the date of death from any cause or or loss to follow-up, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months
Gut microbiome composition differences assessed by shotgun metagenomic sequencing
Measuring Tool: Shotgun metagenomic sequencing (Illumina NovaSeq 6000). Analysis Parameters: Alpha diversity (Shannon index); Beta diversity (Bray-Curtis dissimilarity); Differential abundance of bacterial species (ANCOM-BC). Unit: Relative abundance (%) / Diversity indices.
Time frame: Tissue samples collected intraoperatively, sequencing completed within 1 week post-surgery.
