Core Tip E74-like E26 transformation-specific transcription factor 3 (ELF3) exhibits context-dependent functions in gastric cancer. Present evidence supports its pro-tumorigenic role through the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and immune evasion, although functional validation remains required. Patients with high ELF3 expression present with a “cold” tumor phenotype that may limit the responsiveness to immunotherapy. Future research should focus on completing the chain of functional validation and systematically evaluating existing ELF3-targeting compounds in gastric cancer models, particularly in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
