AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THORACIC SURGERYRESULTS: Of 79 samples, 78 samples passed the quality control conditions <strong>for</strong>hybridization. Data analysis per<strong>for</strong>med as detailed above led to a model containingover 100 miRNA included in the five principal components. This model predictedoutcome in a statistically significant fashion (Figure 1). Median time to recurrencein “Good Prognosis” tumors had not been reached, whereas the median time torecurrence in “Poor Prognosis” tumors was 22 months (p < 0.01).CONCLUSION: This miRNA microarray profile predicts recurrence after surgery<strong>for</strong> stage 1 NSCLC and deserves validation by datasets from other institutions.Furthermore, ease in the handling of input material (avoiding frozen tissue) andstability of miRNA to degradation makes this plat<strong>for</strong>m more practical thanmRNA-based technologies in all clinical environments.TUESDAYMorning139
