Abstract:

Prospectively identifying who will benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) would improve clinical decisions for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. In this study, we aim to develop and validate a functional gene set that predicts the clinical benefits of ACT in NSCLC. Using a cohort of 442 Stage I-III NSCLC patients who underwent surgical resection, we identified an 18-hub-gene set which robustly predicted the prognosis of patients with adenocarcinoma in all six validation datasets across four microarray platforms. The hub genes, identified through a purely data-driven approach, have significant biological implications in tumor pathogenesis. The 18-hub-gene set was then integrated with genome-wide functional (RNAi) data and genetic aberration data to derive a 12-gene predictive signature for ACT benefits in NSCLC. The 12-gene predictive signature was successfully validated in two independent datasets (N=90 and N=176).
