Gene Expression Signatures for Prognosis in NSCLC, Coupled with Signatures of Oncogenic Pathway Deregulation, Provide a Novel Approach for Selection of Molecular Targets David H. Harpole, Jr., M.D. Professor of Surgery Duke University Medical Center Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery Durham Veterans Affairs Medical Center Director of the Lung Cancer Prognostic Laboratory
The Challenge in Prognosis for Individual Patients Current Tools for Prognosis • Clinical and histopathologic factors • Single molecular biomarkers • Gene expression profiles Staging Improved prognosis But, the challenge is to provide an individualized patient prognosis
Current Therapy for Clinical Stage I NSCLC Clinical Stage 1 (45,000 patients in U.S.) Resection Stage IA Stage IB, II and IIIA Identify Patients at Higher Risk? Observation (25% relapse) Adjuvant Chemotherapy (> 30% relapse) What next?
