| Summary: | Stabilin-2 has been found to regulate the progression of cancer. It was not fully understood whether it shows some roles in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We used the immunohistochemical staining to evaluate Stabilin-2 protein expression in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue of NSCLC patients’ primary lesion. And we carried out χ2 test to detect relationships between Stabilin-2 expression and various clinical factors. Besides, the survival difference between patients with high and low Stabilin-2 expression was also analyzed. The expression of Stabilin-2 was associated with N stage and age. Higher Stabilin-2 expression exists in poorer survival patients. It revealed that Stabilin-2 expression was a significant predictor for both OS and DFS by univariate and multivariate analyses. High stabilin-2 expression in NSCLC predicts poor tumor prognosis. |
