Research Abstract

A total of 63 surgically resected primary pulmonary adenocarcinoma tissues were investigated by immunohistochemistry for the expression of Necl-5. The overexpression of Necl-5 by cancer cells was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis, TNM staging and the bronchioloalveolar carcinoma ratio of tumors. Furthermore, the disease-free survival rate in patients with positive Necl-5 overexpression was significantly lower than that in patients with negative Necl-5 overexpression. These results indicate that Necl-5 plays a role in mediating tumor cell invasion and that the overexpression of Necl-5 in cancer cells has clinical significance for prognostic evaluation of patients with primary pulmonary adenocarcinoma.
