Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients with histologically confirmed early-stage lung adenocarcinoma who have undergone surgical treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients diagnosed with other serious illnesses or those who have received prior treatments before surgery may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess DNA methylation modifications in lung adenocarcinoma samples to develop a prognostic model for predicting survival outcomes after surgery. By analyzing DNA 5-methylcytosine levels in cancer tissues, the study will link these profiles to post-surgical recurrence and survival rates. Conducted across two hospitals in China, it will utilize over three years of clinical data to validate the model's accuracy and explore its potential in guiding adjuvant treatment strategies for high-risk patients. The ultimate goal is to enhance personalized treatment planning for lung adenocarcinoma patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a reliable method for predicting survival outcomes and tailoring treatment strategies for lung adenocarcinoma patients.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using DNA methylation profiles for cancer prognosis, suggesting this approach may be effective.
