High-frequency microsatellite instability has been reported to be associated with good prognosis in colorectal adenocarcinoma. However, methods to assess microsatellite instability (MIN) are based on genetic assays, and are not ideally suited to […]

Background: The association of EGFR mutations with bronchoalveolar carcinoma (BAC) / non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the therapeutic and prognostic variability reported for lung cancer has reinforced the need for more accurate NSCLC sub-classification. The present study utilizes clinical data, immunohistochemistry (IHC), molecular analyses, and quantified immunofluorescent multiplexing (QIFM) to develop a systems pathology model for NSCLC. Methods: 73 NSCLC cases; […]
