Purpose: Even in small-sized (10%) amplified in both small-sized ADCs and lung ADC cell lines. In particular, the MYC gene was mapped in the minimum common region at chromosome 8q24.21, and therefore was indicated to be a target of gene amplification in lung ADCs. MYC amplification correlated with poor prognosis (P = 0.031) of patients with small-sized ADCs. MYC amplification detected by SNP array analysis was well reproduced by RT-G-PCR analysis. Therefore, to investigate the utility of MYC amplification as a prognostic marker for early-stage lung ADCs, 162 stage I lung ADCs were subjected to the analysis. MYC amplification was associated with relapse-free survival in these patients (P = 0.013 by multivariate Cox proportional hazard model analysis).Conclusions: These results strongly indicate that MYC amplification is a prognostic marker of patients with early-stage lung ADCs.
