TACSTD2 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: Trop-2 expression was analyzed using available mRNA, mutation, and protein data in three datasets: (1) The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) included clinical-pathological and survival data in NSCLC adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma; (2) sample set 1 (adenocarcinoma) and (3) sample set 2 (adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma) underwent sequencing and immunohistochemistry for Trop-2 RNA, protein (Robust Prototype Assay, SP295 clone) and mutation analysis.
