Somatic mutations affect key pathways in lung adenocarcinoma

Li Ding, +96 more
- 23 Oct 2008 - 
TL;DR: Somatic mutations in primary lung adenocarcinoma for several tumour suppressor genes involved in other cancers and for sequence changes in PTPRD as well as the frequently deleted gene LRP1B are found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterizing the cancer genome in lung adenocarcinoma

Barbara A. Weir, +85 more
- 06 Dec 2007 - 
TL;DR: A large-scale project to characterize copy-number alterations in primary lung adenocarcinomas using dense single nucleotide polymorphism arrays identifies NKX2-1 (NK2 homeobox 1, also called TITF1), which lies in the minimal 14q13.3 amplification interval and encodes a lineage-specific transcription factor, as a novel candidate proto-oncogene involved in a significant fraction of lung carcinomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of proposed IASLC/ATS/ERS classification of lung adenocarcinoma: prognostic subgroups and implications for further revision of staging based on analysis of 514 stage I cases

TL;DR: The proposed IASLC/ATS/ERS classification of lung adenocarcinoma identifies histological categories with prognostic differences that may be helpful in identifying candidates for adjunctive therapy and raises the need for further studies to determine whether this adjustment in measuring tumor size could impact TNM staging for small adenoplastomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validation of the IASLC/ATS/ERS lung adenocarcinoma classification for prognosis and association with EGFR and KRAS gene mutations: analysis of 440 Japanese patients.

TL;DR: The IASLC/ATS/ERS classification identified prognostic histologic subtypes of lung adenocarcinomas among Japanese patients and revealed that the new classification was an independent predictor of disease-free survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinicopathologic Features of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer with EML4–ALK Fusion Gene

TL;DR: EML4–ALK fusion genes were observed predominantly in adenocarcinomas, in female or nonsmoking populations, and were mutually exclusive with mutations in the EGFR, KRAS, and ERBB2 genes.
