Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To validate a novel 4-protein signature's ability to subtype non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a treatment-naive, multi-institutional cohort, CALGB 9761.

Secondary

  • To estimate the NSCLC misclassification rate in a multi-institutional clinical-trial setting for stage 1 NSCLC (adenocarcinoma versus squamous cell).

OUTLINE: Archived tumor tissue samples are marked for regions appropriate for incorporation into tissue microarray (TMA) and incubated with a cocktail of primary antibodies. Slides are then stained and a series of high-resolution monochromatic images are captured by the PM-2000 ™ microscope of each protein. Score of each specific protein is then calculated by Automated Quantitative Analysis (AQUA).

A board-certified pathologist with a clinical focus in lung cancer reviews the hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) slides and indicates the specific non-small cell lung cancer subtype. Results are then compared with the primary reference subtype captured by CALGB-9761 database.
