Prognostic Value of Thyroid Transcription Factor-1 Expression in Patients with Advanced Lung Adenocarcinoma

Abstract: Background/Aim: The prognostic role of thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF1) in advanced lung cancer is not clearly established. The present study aimed to evaluate the associations between clinicopathological characteristics, TTF1 expression, and overall survival (OS) of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. Materials and Methods: One hundred and seventy-two patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. OS was assessed according to immunohistochemical TTF1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma tissue,… Show more

“…We observed an inverse correlation between TTF‐1 expression and EGFR mutation in advanced LUAD patients, which is consistent with previous studies that have demonstrated the rarity of EGFR mutations in TTF‐1‐negative LUAD 19,23,24 . In our cohort, only 26.6% of the TTF‐1‐negative patients had EGFR mutations, which is lower than the 32.1% reported by Chung et al, but higher than 2.6% and 6%, respectively, reported by Zablockis and Schilsky, possibly due to selection bias 19,23,24 . Thus, the absence of TTF‐1 immunoreactivity can reliably predict the absence of activating EGFR mutations.…”

“…Consistent with this, inhibition of TTF‐1 through RNA interference in adenocarcinoma cell lines has been shown to significantly inhibit tumor growth and induce apoptosis 18 . On the other hand, some studies have shown that TTF‐1 is associated with prolonged survival of patients with LUAD 19,20 . In fact, there is substantial evidence suggesting that TTF‐1 has a paradoxical tumor‐suppressive function.…”

“…[ 6 ] Zablockis et al revealed a significant prognostic role of thyroid TF-1 expression in patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. [ 7 ] Wu et al suggested that spalt-like TF 4 served as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker of colorectal cancer. [ 8 ] Zhang et al indicated that lack of caudal-type homeobox TF 2 expression functioned as a prognostic biomarker in metastatic colorectal carcinoma.…”

“…For instance, Hirao et al reported that TF homeobox D9 was associated with the malignant phenotype of cervical cancer via direct binding to the human papillomavirus oncogene promoter [6] . Zablockis et al revealed a significant prognostic role of thyroid TF-1 expression in patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma [7] . Wu et al suggested that spalt-like TF 4 served as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker of colorectal cancer [8] .…”

“…4 To make matters worse, the majority of lung cancer patients are usually diagnosed at a late stage when a tumor has started to metastasize. 5 Although the prognosis of LAC has improved with the advent of targeted drugs, the mortalities of LAC patients are still high as a result of a lack of effective prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers. 6 Hence, it is necessary to fully illustrate good prognostic indicators to guide the treatment and clinical management of LAC patients.…”
