Brief Summary in Lay Language
Lung cancer is the most frequent tumor disease world wide and is associated with a high mortality. The non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents about 85% of all bronchial carcinoma. In this category there are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and large-cell carcinoma. The therapy is oriented on the kind of tumor and its stadium. If possible the tumor will be removed by surgery. The further therapeutically possibilities for the treatment of the lung carcinoma consists of classical chemotherapy, radiotherapy and innovative substance classes like the tyrosinkinase-inhibitors, which inhibit either the tumor cell growth or the neoangiogenesis. Despite increasing new therapy concepts, the prognosis of the lung cancer is to date unfavourable and so far improvement of the prognosis is only moderate.
Aim of this long term research project is to understand research the immunological and molecular changes lung cancer. Afterwards these parameters will be correlated with the clinical analysis.
In the MP-IL-35 Study we plan to examine a group of about 40 patients (with lung carncer) in the time period of 24 months. At the enrollment into this study different clinical examinations will be performed on all patients and different questionnaires will be filled in including the patients content.
Brief Summary in Scientific Language
In this prospective study, we will classify - on basis of the histo-pathological results - a molecular gen-expression of the single tumors (lung carcinoma, metastases of the lung) and compare it with each other. Further, based on the obtained data, we plan to develop a targeted therapy. From patients that underwent surgery with lung tumor biological materials (residual lung tissues and lymph nodes, bronchoalveolare lavage (BAL), blood) will be obtained. By using different methods, the tissues, the lung cells, the blood and the BAL will be analysed and immunological characterized. These analysis comprize:
d) Analysis of different cell-populations (FACS, Sorting)
e) RNA-expression analysis (microarray analysis, RT-qPCR)
f) Protein/Cytokine-analysis (ELISA), Westerblot Analysis
The characterization of the immunological signature will contribute to develop new therapy strategies.
