| Abstract | The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value of EpCAM/MUC1 mRNA-positive circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The presence of EpCAM/MUC1 mRNA-positive CTCs was evaluated in 74 NSCLC patients before the initiation of any therapy, from which 61 patients with surgical resection of tumor were also evaluable for EpCAM/MUC1 mRNA-positive CTC analysis after surgery, by quantitative real-time PCR assay. Sixty patients with benign lung disease (BLD) entered this study as controls. The results showed that blood levels of EpCAM and MUC1 mRNA in NSCLC patients before and after surgery were significantly higher than those in BLD patients (P = 0.001 and P = 0.015, respectively, for EpCAM; P = 0.003 and P = 0.026, respectively, for MUC1), and the levels of the two gene mRNA in NSCLC patients significantly decreased after surgery (P = 0.025 and P = 0.033, respectively). Disease recurrence significantly increased in NSCLC patients with EpCAM/MUC1 mRNA-positive CTC preoperation and postoperation (P = 0.004 and P = 0.001, respectively). Disease-free survival and overall survival significantly reduced in patients with EpCAM/MUC1 mRNA-positive CTC preoperation and postoperation (P = 0.012 and P = 0.002, respectively, for preoperation; both P < 0.001 for postoperation). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the presence of EpCAM/MUC1 mRNA-positive CTCs before and after surgery was an independent factor associated with disease recurrence. In conclusion, the detection of EpCAM/MUC1 mRNA-positive CTCs in the blood before and after surgery is useful for predicting a poor prognosis in NSCLC patients who undergo curative surgery. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
