Survival analysis showed that the genes of CEP55 (centrosomal protein 55), NMU (neuromedin U), CAV1 (Caveolin 1), TBX3 (T-box transcription factor 3), FBLN1 (fibulin 1) and SYNM (synemin) may be involved in the development, invasion or metastasis of NSCLC (P<0.05, logFC>1). The gene discussed is TBX3; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
