Brief Summary
To determine whether the presence of circulating/disseminated tumour cells (CTCs/DTCs) in the blood and bone marrow of the resectable lung cancer (NSCLC) patients is a negative prognostic factor, and to find correlations with other clinical/pathological disease characteristics.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
CEA, EGFR, LunX, c-met and EpCAM mRNA positive circulating tumour cells in lung cancer patients
The absolute gene expression of CEA, EGFR, LunX, c-met and EpCAM mRNA positive circulating tumour cells(CTCs) isolated from peripheral blood, tumour draining blood and bone marrow samples of lung cancer patients will be measured using real-time RT-PCR method. The gene expression will be normalized per microgram of total mRNA.
30 days
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Cancer specific survival in CTC positive NSCLC patients
5 years
Interventions
The CTCs/DTCs will be detected and counted in peripheral blood, tumour draining blood and bone marrow samples.
