Abstract
BACKGROUND: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive malignancy characterized by rapid growth, early metastasis and acquired therapeutic resistance, and the prognosis is extremely poor. Studies have proved that the stem cell marker CD44 is correlated with tumor recurrence and treatment resistance, however, there are limited reports yet concerning on the CD44 expression and its clinical prognostic significance in SCLC patients. The purpose of this study is to investigate the expression of CD44 in tumor tissues as well as serum of SCLC patients and explore its correlation with the clinical characteristics, therapeutic effect and prognosis.Entities:

图 2生存曲线。A:肿瘤组织CD44表达阳性患者较阴性患者的PFS显著缩短,差异有统计学意义(P=0.036);B:肿瘤组织CD44阳性患者较阴性患者OS相比差异虽未达到统计学意义,但存在缩短趋势(P=0.322);C:血清CD44高浓度组较低浓度组患者PFS差异虽然未达到统计学意义,但有明显缩短趋势(P=0.062);D:血清CD44高浓度组较CD44低浓度组患者的OS明显缩短,但差异未达到统计学意义(P=0.105)。
Survival curves. A: Patients with CD44 positive expression in tumor tissue have a significant shorter PFS compared to those with CD44 negative expression (P=0.036); B: Patients with CD44 positive expression in tumor tissue have a shorter OS trend compared to those with CD44 negative expression (P=0.322); C: Patients with high CD44 serum level have a shorter PFS trend compared to those with low CD44 level (P=0.062); D: Patients with high CD44 serum level have a shorter OS trend compared to those with low CD44 level (P=0.105).
