Expression Profile–Defined Classification of Lung Adenocarcinoma Shows Close Relationship With Underlying Major Genetic Changes and Clinicopathologic Behaviors

Abstract

This study has shed light on heterogeneity in lung cancers, especially in adenocarcinomas, by establishing a molecularly, genetically, and clinically relevant, expression profile-defined classification. Future studies using independent patient cohorts are warranted to confirm the prognostic significance of EGFR mutations in TRU-type adenocarcinoma.
