There remains a critical need for improved staging of non-small-cell lung cancer, as recurrence and mortality due to undetectable metastases at the time of surgery remain high even after complete resection of tumors currently categorized as ‘early stage.’ A 14-gene quantitative PCR-based expression profile has been extensively validated to better identify patients at high-risk of 5-year mortality after surgical resection than conventional staging – mortality that almost always results from previously undetectable metastases. Furthermore, prospective studies now suggest a predictive benefit in disease-free survival when the assay is used to guide adjuvant chemotherapy decisions in early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer patients. There is a need for improvement in the way early-stage non-small-cell lung cancers are staged and treated because many patients with ‘early-stage’ disease suffer high rates of cancer recurrence after surgery. In recent years, a specialized test has been developed to allow better characterization of a tumor's risk of recurrence based on the genes being expressed by tumor cells. Use of this test, in conjunction with standard staging methods, is better able to identify patients at high risk of cancer recurrence after surgery. Evidence suggests that giving chemotherapy to patients at high risk of recurrence after surgery reduces recurrence rates and improves long-term patient survival.
