Core Tip	The abundant H2B monoubiquination (uH2B) modification detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in normal human gastric epithelium is decreased in malignant gastric cancer specimens, and the decreasing trend is correlated with decreased tumor differentiation, Lauren's classification intestinal-type, presence of lymph node metastasis, and TNM stage. Positive uH2B staining is associated with higher 5-year survival. Multivariate analysis identified uH2B modification level as an independent prognostic factor for gastric cancer-specific survival. Collectively, these findings indicate the clinical significance of IHC-detected uH2B differential staining patterns as a potential prognostic biomarker in early stage gastric cancer.
