EGFR and HER3 expression in circulating tumor cells and tumor tissue from non-small cell lung cancer patients.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Although clinically relevant, the detection rates of EpCAM positive CTCs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are surprisingly low. To find new clinically informative markers for CTC detection in NSCLC, the expression of EGFR and HER3 was first analyzed in NSCLC tissue (n = 148). A positive EGFR and HER3 staining was observed in 52.3% and 82.7% of the primary tumors, and in 62.7% and 91.2% of brain metastases, respectively. Only 3.0% of the brain metastases samples were negative for both HER3 and EGFR proteins, indicating that the majority of metastases express these ERBB proteins, which were therefore chosen for CTC enrichment using magnetic cell-separation. Enrichment based on either EGFR or HER3 detected CTCs in 37.8% of the patients, while the combination of EGFR/HER3 enrichment with the EpCAM-based CellSearch technique detected a significantly higher number of 66.7% CTC-positive patients (Cohen's kappa = -0.280) which underlines the existence of different CTC subpopulations in NSCLC. The malignant origin of keratin-positive/CD45-negative CTC clusters and single CTCs detected after EGFR/HER3 based enrichment was documented by the detection of NSCLC-associated mutations. In conclusion, EGFR and HER3 expression in metastasized NSCLC patients have considerable value for CTC isolation plus multiple markers can provide a novel liquid biopsy approach.
