Adenocarcinoma-specific mRNA expression levels of EZH2 and RRM1 are associated with poor post-surgical survival in the first set of patients, but not replicated in a clinically and pathologically matched independent validation set.
Ribonucleotide reductase subunits M1 and M2 mRNA expression levels and clinical outcome of lung adenocarcinoma patients treated with docetaxel/gemcitabine.
We hypothesized associations of the biomarkers excision repair cross-complementing 1 (ERCC1), ribonucleotide reductase M1 (RRM1), and thymidylate synthase (TS) with histology as a contributing factor to reported differences in chemotherapy outcomes between squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA) and adenocarcinoma (AC) subtypes.
