Insulin-like Growth Factor Receptor 1 (IGF1R) Gene Copy Number Is Associated With Survival in Operable Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer: A Comparison Between IGF1R Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization, Protein Expression, and mRNA Expression

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to characterize insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R) protein expression, mRNA expression, and gene copy number in surgically resected non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC) in relation to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) protein expression, patient characteristics, and prognosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One hundred eighty-nine patients with NSCLC who underwent...
