Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In adenocarcinoma of the lung, vimentin expression is prevalent and markedly up-regulated in micropapllary component (MPC), which might reflect the biological essence of poorer differentiation or dedifferentiation of MPC, and this might have a role in the acquisition and increase of invasiveness and consequent more malignant nature of MPC. In the 64 patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the progression-free survival (PFS) was significantly shorter, and the overall survival (OS) was longer (6.3 vs. 9.5 months, p < .001, PFS, 37.1 vs. 21.1 months, p = 0.26, OS). Distant metastasis happened more frequently in the mutant EGFR than in the wild-type EGFR. In 39 patients received concurrent chemoradiotherapy with a humanized IgG1 monoclonal anti-EGFR antibody (nimotuzumab), the PFS was significantly better for patients with Sq than for those with Non-Sq. The low in field relapse rates may be attributed to the radio-sensitizing effect of anti-EGFR antibody.
