1 This study attempted to investigate the value of ALDH1 as a predictive marker of chemosensitivity and its prognostic value in cervical cancer patients treated with NAC. nac aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 Homo sapiens
2 METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate ALDH1 expression in matched pre- and post-NAC tumor samples from 52 patients with cervical cancer. nac aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 Homo sapiens
3 RESULTS: Fourteen patients (26.9 %) had ALDH1-positive tumors pre-NAC, and ALDH1 expression pre-NAC was significantly associated with a low clinical chemotherapy response rate and clinical non-response. nac aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 Homo sapiens
4 Multivariate analysis revealed that ALDH1 expression post-NAC was an independent prognostic factor for OS (hazard ratio 3.513; p = 0.033). nac aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 Homo sapiens
5 Moreover, we observed that ALDH1 expression was increased after NAC in 18 patients (36.7 %). nac aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 Homo sapiens
6 Increased levels of ALDH1 expression after NAC predicted poor DFS and OS (p = 0.013 and p = 0.08, respectively). nac aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 Homo sapiens
7 CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that ALDH1 expression pre-NAC may be a predictive marker for response to NAC, and ALDH1 expression post-NAC could be a prognostic marker for cervical cancer. nac aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 Homo sapiens
8 CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that ALDH1 expression pre-NAC may be a predictive marker for response to NAC, and ALDH1 expression post-NAC could be a prognostic marker for cervical cancer. nac aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 Homo sapiens
9 CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that ALDH1 expression pre-NAC may be a predictive marker for response to NAC, and ALDH1 expression post-NAC could be a prognostic marker for cervical cancer. nac aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A1 Homo sapiens
