In addition, we were able to quantify several proteins that might be of interest as potential future markers for lung ADC, such as mucin-5AC (MUC5AC), another mucin that has been linked to ALK-positive lung ADC27, or carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM6), a glycoprotein that is involved in cell invasion and metastasis and has been shown to have higher expression levels in ADC compared to SCC via IHC28. The gene discussed is ALK; the disease is medical procedure.
