  • Assuming an equal number of patients having tumors with and without the biomarker, 45 or 60 patients provided approximately 85% power to differentiate 40% or 34.5% from 5% ORR, respectively. (solarproguide.com)
  • To maximize the power to detect the ORR difference between the biomarker groups, enrollment to a tumor-specific expansion could be adjusted to achieve approximately an equal number of patients having tumors with and without the biomarker. (solarproguide.com)
  • A digital pathology platform was used for measuring total tumor size and invasive tumor size. (bvsalud.org)
  • Because of the importance of stage in the therapeutic decision-making process, all patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) must be staged adequately. (medscape.com)
  • The most common metabolic abnormality associated with NSCLC is hypercalcemia, which usually occurs with squamous cell carcinoma and results from secretion of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTH-rP) by the tumor. (medscape.com)
