Molecular genetic alterations in thyroid transcription factor 1-negative lung adenocarcinoma in cytology specimens: A subset with aggressive behavior and a poor prognosis.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Patients with thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF1)-negative pulmonary adenocarcinoma (ADC) have been reported to have a worse prognosis and to lack epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. This study describes a series of cytology specimens from patients with clinically confirmed pulmonary carcinoma negative for TTF1. METHODS: A search for TTF1-negative ADC from 2010 to 2017 was performed....
