Predictive Biomarkers for Lung Cancer
Current Status / Perspectives: Although curative resection of patients withearly-stage lung CA are performed, the riskof relapse remains substantial
Indicates that there may be micro-invasion/metastasis have not been detected by general imaging and/orpathological examinations
Predictive biomarkers will allow the selection of lung cancer patients who may need moreaggressive screening and treatment
Predictive biomarkers will allow the selection of lung cancer patients who may need moreaggressive screening and treatment
Predictive Biomarkers for Lung Cancer
Intended Goals:
Defining categories or tumor subsets that may improve the diagnostic classification of lung tumors
Identifying specific genes, proteins, or accessory cells that could serve as targets for improved diagnosis and/or therapy
Associating biomarkers with clinical outcomes
Predictive Biomarkers for Lung Cancer
Hurdles:
There are no biomarkers universally recommended to help in the clinical management of lung cancer today.
Probable valid biomarkers Candidate biomarkers General trends
Poor study design / analysis Assay variability Lack of standardization protocols
Predictive Biomarkers for Lung Cancer
Challenges:
Single biomarker approach has not been proven to have strong predictive potential in lung cancer
Use of molecular and nano-IVD technologies bring a key promise for identification of clinically meaningful biomarkers
Clinical validation of candidate biomarkers remains a major challenge
Predictive Biomarkers for Lung Cancer
Challenges:
Use of biomarkers for early detection of lung cancer is promising but still methodologically challenging
Clinical management of lung cancer will most probably first benefit from use of biomarkers
Development of new therapeutic options for lung cancer will stimulate identification and clinical validation of new biomarkers
Predictive or diagnostic modelling
• Tissue based.
• Serum or urinary based
• Cellular based
Use of one or more biomarkers to determine prognosis or response to treatment beyond usual clinical criteria

Unique Micro RNA Profile in LungCancer Diagnosis and Prognosis
• miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs which play key roles in regulating the translation and degradation of mRNAs
• Genetic and epigenetic alteration may affect miRNA expression, thereby leading to aberrant target gene(s) expression in cancers
• Yanaihara et al, Cancer Cell, 2006: - miRNA profiles of 104 pairs of primary lung cancers and corresponding non- cancerous lung tissues were analyzed by miRNA microarrays - 43 miRNAs showed statistical differences
Unique Micro RNA Profile in LungCancer Diagnosis and Prognosis
• A univariate Cox proportional hazard regression model with a global permutation test indicated that expression of the miRNAs has-mir-155 and has-let-7a-2 was related to adenocarcinoma patient outcome
• Yanaihara et al, Cancer Cell, 2006: - miRNA profiles of 104 pairs of primary lung cancers and corresponding non- cancerous lung tissues were analyzed by miRNA microarrays - 43 miRNAs showed statistical differences
• Lung adenocarcinoma patients with either high has-mir-155 or reduced has-let-7a-2 expression had poor survival
