Identifying markers for long-term survival in localized lung cancer

EMT, Reactivation of Embryonic Transcription Factors and Alteration of the miR Signaling Network as Pronostic and Predictive Markers in Lung Cancer

Observational European Georges Pompidou Hospital · NCT03509779

This study is trying to find specific markers in tumor samples from patients with localized lung cancer to see if they can help predict long-term survival after surgery.

What this trial studies

This research aims to identify an 'EMT signature' that correlates with long-term disease-free survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgical treatment. The study will utilize an integrated molecular approach, including DNA, RNA, and miR profiling, to analyze tumor samples from a large cohort of localized NSCLC patients. Additionally, in vitro analyses using lung cancer cell lines will be conducted to validate the identified markers. The goal is to develop specific treatment recommendations based on the findings.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients diagnosed with stage I, II, IIIA, or IIIB NSCLC who have undergone surgical treatment at Georges Pompidou Hospital.

Not a fit: Patients who have not signed the informed consent for the ONCOHEGP project will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved prognostic tools and personalized treatment strategies for patients with localized NSCLC.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in identifying molecular signatures in cancer, suggesting that this approach may yield valuable insights.
