R73; Immunohistochemical (IHC) method was used to evaluate the expression of ERCC-1 and survivin in 80 pathologically confirmed advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients given cisplatin-contained regimens first-line chemotherapy. The response rate and survival time were analyzed according to the expression of ERCC-1 and survivin. Results:Only 77 patients could be reviewed by IHC staining. The expression rates of ERCC-1 and survivin were 33.77% and 53.25 % respectively. The worse response rate and shorter TTP/PFS could be identified in ERCC-1 positive group. Patients with positive expression of survivin had worse survival time. Conclusion:Expression of ERCC-1 may be a molecular marker of cisplatincontained regimens first-line chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis in advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients. Positive expression of survivin predicates poor prognosis for patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma.
