Increased SOX2 Gene Copy Number Is Associated with FGFR1 and PIK3CA Gene Gain in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Predicts Improved Survival in Early Stage Disease
15 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We aimed to investigate prevalence and prognostic role of SOX2, PIK3CA, FGFR1 and BRF2 gene gain in patients with surgically resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: SOX2, PIK3CA, FGFR1 and BRF2 gene copy number was assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in arrayed tissue cores from 447 resected NSCLCs. RESULTS: Increased gene copy number (FISH+) for SOX2, PIK3CA, FGFR1 and...
