Abstract

Aim. Evaluation of prognostic role of estrogen receptors a (ERa) expression level at patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSLC) after surgical treatment. Methods and materials. 115 clinical cases of patients who underwent treatment in N.N.Blokhin Russian Cancer Research Center fr om 2009 to 2016 were studied. There were 95 males and 20 females. All patients had NSLC confirmed by histological analysis and followed-up for long term results. Results. There was no statistical evidence that the level of estrogen a expression in tumor cells has an impact on relapse free survival among men with both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Similar results were obtained for women group. Also, no correlations between overall survival and the level of estrogen a expression were noticed among men and women. Thus ERa can’t be used as a predictor marker for patients with NSLC. Conclusion. The level of ERa expression in tumor cells among male patients does not influence on disease prognosis regardless stage of the disease and tumor morphology and can’t be used as a prognostic factor. The impact of the ERa expression level in tumor cells among female patients on disease prognosis is questionable.
