Homologous recombination repair rathway and RAD54L in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma

Abstract

HRR pathway is up-regulated in LUAD, among which the expression of RAD54L was found to be significantly differentially expressed in T1 stage tumor tissue. Patients with high expression of RAD54L were associated with worse overall survival in the TCGA cohort and validation cohort. This study suggests a potential mechanism of lung cancer progression and provide a budding prognostic factor and treatment target in early-stage LUAD.
