Methods: We purified RNA from archived tissues of patients with stage I and II NSCLC with wild-type (wt) and mutant (mt) KRAS tumors; paired normal tissue adjacent to the tumor from 20 and 17 patients, respectively, and assessed, using real-time reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the expression of four genes involved in DNA synthesis and repair, including thymidylate synthase (TS), BRCA1, ECCR1, RAP80, and the proto-oncogene SRC. This evidence concerns the gene UIMC1 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
