Abstract
In this study, we examined the expression and prognostic value of fibrous sheath interacting protein 1 (FSIP1) in 202 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who underwent lung cancer resection at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University. FSIP1 mRNA and protein expression were measured in NSCLC tissues and non-tumor adjacent tissues (NATs), and Harrell's concordance index (c-index) was used to evaluate the ability of FSIP1 to predict prognosis. FSIP1 mRNA and protein expression was higher in NSCLC tissues than in NATs. Survival analysis revealed the 5-year overall survival rate to be 35.4% in the FSIP1-positive group and 56.3% in the FSIP1-negative group, and FSIP1-positive status was an independent prognostic factor for poor overall survival. The c-index value of FSIP1 for overall survival was greater than that of Ki67, and the addition of FSIP1 status increased the c-index value of the TNM staging system. These results suggest that evaluating FSIP1 status in addition to TNM stage during routine pathological examinations could improve prognostic predictions in NSCLC patients.
