Clinical Trial Summary

To determine whether the presence of circulating/disseminated tumour cells (CTCs/DTCs) in the blood and bone marrow of the resectable lung cancer (NSCLC) patients is a negative prognostic factor, and to find correlations with other clinical/pathological disease characteristics.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	CEA, EGFR, LunX, c-met and EpCAM mRNA positive circulating tumour cells in lung cancer patients	The absolute gene expression of CEA, EGFR, LunX, c-met and EpCAM mRNA positive circulating tumour cells(CTCs) isolated from peripheral blood, tumour draining blood and bone marrow samples of lung cancer patients will be measured using real-time RT-PCR method. The gene expression will be normalized per microgram of total mRNA.	30 days
Secondary	Cancer specific survival in CTC positive NSCLC patients	The cancer specific survival, overall survival and disease free survival will be measured from the time of diagnosis to the time of event. Two groups of patients will be compared: A: Patients with the presence of CTCs in peripheral blood, tumour draining blood and bone marrow before NSCLC surgery as described in primary outcome measure.; B: Patients with the absence e of CTCs in peripheral blood, tumour draining blood and bone marrow before NSCLC surgery as described in primary outcome measure.	5 years
