Background: It is well-established that the gastric microbiota undergoes significant alterations during the process of gastric carcinogenesis. This study aimed to identify gastric mucosa-associated microbiome (MAM) for the prediction of metachronous recurrence after endoscopic resection of gastric neoplasms. Methods: Subgroup analyses were conducted for 81 patients (early gastric cancer: dysplasia = 55:26) from a prospective cohort (Clinical Trials No. NCT04830618). Demographic data, and history of Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy, endoscopic and histologic findings were incorporated. The profile of Gastric MAM obtained from non-cancerous corporal biopsy specimens and was analyzed by 16S rDNA sequencing. Results: Over a median follow-up duration of 53.8 months, 16 metachronous gastric neoplasms (10 adenomas and 6 adenocarcinomas) developed. Baseline gastric MAM varied with H. pylori infection status, but was unaffected by the presence of atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia or synchronous lesions. The group with metachronous recurrence did not exhibit distinct phylogenetic diversity compared with the group devoid of recurrence. β-diversity analysis showed significant difference between the two groups (weighted UniFrac distance, PERMANOVA p = 0.006). In the LEfSe analysis, metachronous recurrence group had an increased abundance of Corynebaceriaceae, Comamonadaceae, Corynebacterium, Curvibacter, and a decreased abundance of Helicobacteraceae, and Helicobacter. The total study population were classified into two distinct gastrotypes by baseline Gastric MAM (gastrotype 1: Helicobacter-dominant, gastrotype 2: Akkermansia-abundant). MAM of gastrotype 1 had higher abundance of Helicobacter pylori, and lower abundance of Akkermansia¸ Comamodaceae, Muribaculacae, Streptococcus, Corynebacteriaceae, Cutibaterium. Patients in gastrotype 2 showed higher risk of metachronous recurrence than gastrotype 1 (hazard ratio = 4.621 by Cox proportional hazard model, p-value = 0.0185). Conclusions: Gastric cancer patients can be classified into two distinct gastrotypes by their MAM profiles, which were associated with different risk of metachronous recurrence. MAM profiling of gastric cancer patients is expected give insight into their risk of metachronous recurrence. Clinical trial information: NCT04830618.
