Sentence |
denotes |
INTRODUCTION: |
| TextSentencer_T3 |
153-297 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Folate receptor-α regulates cellular uptake of folates and antifolates (eg, pemetrexed) and is frequently expressed in pulmonary adenocarcinoma. |
| TextSentencer_T4 |
298-349 |
Sentence |
denotes |
EGFR is an established therapeutic target in NSCLC. |
| TextSentencer_T5 |
350-396 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Therapies targeting FRA or EGFR are available. |
| TextSentencer_T6 |
397-485 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The association between FRA and EGFR expression in advanced NSCLC has not been explored. |
| TextSentencer_T7 |
486-620 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Combining therapeutic FRA antibodies with an EGFR inhibitor might be beneficial, if both of the targets are significantly coexpressed. |
| TextSentencer_T8 |
621-642 |
Sentence |
denotes |
PATIENTS AND METHODS: |
| TextSentencer_T9 |
643-839 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Specimens from 160 advanced NSCLC patients receiving pemetrexed-based chemotherapy were assessed for membranous FRA and EGFR protein expression using immunohistochemistry and the Hybrid (H)-score. |
| TextSentencer_T10 |
840-941 |
Sentence |
denotes |
EGFR (exons 18-21) and Kirsten RNA-associated rat sarcoma 2 virus (exon 2) mutations were determined. |
| TextSentencer_T11 |
942-1064 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Results were correlated to patients' clinicopathological data, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). |
| TextSentencer_T12 |
1065-1073 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
| TextSentencer_T13 |
1074-1242 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Forty-seven patients (29%) had tumors with strong FRA and EGFR expression, but no statistically significant correlation was seen between protein levels of FRA and EGFR. |
| TextSentencer_T14 |
1243-1443 |
Sentence |
denotes |
High membranous FRA expression (H-score ≥ 20) was associated with prolonged PFS (5.5 vs. 3.4 months; hazard ratio [HR], 0.6060; P = .0254) and improved OS (12.1 vs. 6.4 months; HR, 0.5726; P = .0076). |
| TextSentencer_T15 |
1444-1455 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSION: |
| TextSentencer_T16 |
1456-1553 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Survival times are improved in NSCLC patients whose tumors show strong membranous FRA expression. |
| TextSentencer_T17 |
1554-1783 |
Sentence |
denotes |
No statistical correlation between membranous FRA and EGFR expression was demonstrated in advanced NSCLC, but 47 patients (29%) had higher expression of both of the receptors and could be suitable for combined targeted therapies. |
