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.
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.
Ribonucleotide reductase subunits M1 and M2 mRNA expression levels and clinical outcome of lung adenocarcinoma patients treated with docetaxel/gemcitabine.
