Abstract

BACKGROUND: RRM1, the regulatory subunit of ribonucleotide reductase, is involved in carcinogenesis, tumor progression, and the response of non-small-cell lung cancer to treatment. METHODS: We developed an automated quantitative determination of the RRM1 protein in routinely processed histologic specimens. In these specimens, we measured the expression of RRM1 and two other proteins that are relevant to non-small-cell lung cancer: the excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) protein and the phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN). We compared the results with the clinical outcomes in 187 patients with early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer who had received only surgical treatment. RESULTS: RRM1 expression correlated with the expression of ERCC1 (P<0.001) but not with the expression of PTEN (P=0.37). The median disease-free survival exceeded 120 months in the group of patients with tumors that had high expression of RRM1 and was 54.5 months in the group with low expression of RRM1 (hazard ratio for disease progression or death in the high-expression group, 0.46; P=0.004). The overall survival was more than 120 months for patients with tumors with high expression of RRM1 and 60.2 months for those with low expression of RRM1 (hazard ratio for death, 0.61; P=0.02). Among these 187 patients, the survival advantage was limited to the 30% of patients with tumors that had a high expression of both RRM1 and ERCC1. CONCLUSIONS: RRM1 and ERCC1 are determinants of survival after surgical treatment of early-stage, non-small-cell lung cancer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
