Project description:Whole exome sequencing of tumors and paired adjacent uninvolved tissues from 222 early stage NSCLC patients, in order to identify genomic drivers present in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer and determine the overall tumor mutational burden in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.
Project description:Plasma samples from 100 early stage (I to IIIA) non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and 100 non-cancer controls were screened for 754 circulating microRNAs via qRT-PCR, using TaqMan MicroRNA Arrays. Our objective was to identify a panel of circulating microRNAs in plasma that will contribute to early detection of lung cancer.
Project description:Lung cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, of which approximately 85% are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced NSCLC was significantly prolonged with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) axis. For early-stage lung cancer, the 5-year survival rate for patients ranges from 80% in stage IA to 41% in stage IIIA, and many cases relapse after surgical resection. Currently, multiple clinical trials have manifested the encouraging efficacy of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in stage I-IIIA resectable NSCLC. However, the effect of immunotherapy in ultra early-stage NSCLC patients with micro-invasive or even pre-invasive lesions remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the activity and safety of sintilimab on high-risk ground glass opacity lesions in multiple primary lung cancer patients.
Project description:RRBS data from TRACERx non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumours and matched normal adjacent tissue.
TRACERx (TRAcking Cancer Evolution through therapy (Rx)) is a prospective cohort study designed to investigate intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) in relation to clinical outcome, and to determine the clonal nature of driver events and evolutionary processes in early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Project description:The overall objective of this study was to characterize the diversity and ontogeny of CD8 T cells in untreated lung tumors. This was accomplished by performing bulk RNAseq and flow cytometry analysis on CD8+ T cell subsets isolated from tumor tissue, normal adjacent to tumor (juxta0 tissue samples from patients undergoing surgical resection for early-stage, untreated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
