Participant Flow

The recruitment began on February 01, 2011 and finished on September 01, 2014. All samples were obtained at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología, in Mexico.

Samples were sent to the unit of Anatomic Pathology, where a pathologist confirmed the histologic diagnosis. The only inclusion criterion was the availability of tissue for biomarker studies.

Determination of ALK by FISH, IHC and RT-qPCR
The only inclusion criterion was the availability of tissue for biomarker studies. We use a commercially available break-apart probe kit specific to the ALK locus (Vysis LSI ALK Dual Color (split-apart); using the commercially mouse monoclonal ALK antibody for IHC and . Variants 1, 2, 3a, 4 and 5. The qPCR reactions were performed using the TaqMan Universal PCR MasterMix (Applied Biosystems/TaqMan, Life Technologies)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: TWO YEARS

Population: The only selection criteria of our subjets was the availability of tumor tissue to perform tests.

200 samples underwent FISH, from them 63 underwent IHC and 48 RT-qPCR.

Measure
FISH Test
n=200 Participants
We use a commercially available break-apart probe kit specific to the ALK locus (Vysis LSI ALK Dual Color (split-apart); Abbott Molecular, Abbott Park, IL, USA). Slide washing, and counterstaining by DAPI were done following the manufacturer´s protocol (Abbott Molecular, Abbott Park, IL, USA).
IHC Test
n=63 Participants
using the commercially mouse monoclonal ALK antibody (dilution 1:25, clone 5A4; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), with OptiView DAB detection Kit (Ventana, Tucson, Arizona, USA). ALK IHC was performed according to the protocols provided by the antibody.
RT-qPCR Test
n=48 Participants
The qPCR reactions were performed using the TaqMan Universal PCR MasterMix (Applied Biosystems/TaqMan, Life Technologies) and the following Taqman assays: Hs03654556\_ft (E13;A20), Hs03654557\_ft (E20;A20), Hs03654558\_ft (E6;A20), Hs03654560\_ft (E17;A20), and Hs03654559\_ft (E18;A20). Hs02758991\_ft (GAPDH) assays, whose expression levels are known to be nearly stable among lung tumors
