Among the examined polymorphisms, DBP1 (rs7041) TT and CDX2 (rs11568820) AA/AG genotypes were markers of better prognosis, even with multivariate adjustment.<b>Conclusions:</b> In patients with NSCLC, vitamin D supplementation may improve survival of patients with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma with lower 25(OH)D levels.<i></i>.
EGFR mutation rates were higher in PEACs, which are cytokeratin 20- and caudal type homeobox transcription factor 2-negative (P = .041).PEAC is a rare and heterogeneous nonsmall-cell lung cancer subgroup with distinctive clinicopathological, radiographic, and molecular features.
We conclude that receptor EphA2 activation by ephrin-A1 induces tumor suppressor gene cdx-2 expression which attenuates cell proliferation, tumor growth and thus may be a promising therapeutic target against NSCLC.
We evaluated the relationship between circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels; VDR polymorphisms, including Cdx-2 G>A (rs11568820), FokI C>T (rs10735810), and BsmI C>T (rs144410); and overall survival among patients with advanced NSCLC.
