Significance of FGFR4 expression in prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the expression of FGFR4 in lung adenocarcinoma tissue and its association with the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma. Methods The expression FGFR4 in 128 lung adenocarcinoma tissue and the normal lung tissue was detected by the immunohistochemistry SP method.The relationship between the expression of FGFR4 in lung adenocarcinoma and the prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma was analyzed. Results The expression of FGFR4 protein in lung adenocarcinoma was significantly lower than that in the tumor-adjacent normal lung tissue (P 0.05), but was significantly and positively correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation and T stage, N stage and the clinical TNM stage of lung adenocarcinoma (P < 0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival test showed that the postoperative survival time in the high expression group of FGFR4 was significantly longer than that in the low FGFR4 expression group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The expression of FGFR4 protein in lung adenocarcinoma was significantly lower than that in the tumor-adjacent normal lung tissue. Postoperative survival time in the high FGFR4expression group was significantly longer than that in the low FGFR4 expression group.
