ABOUT THIS EPISODE
BUFFALO, NY - November 4, 2026 – A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on November 2, 2026, titled “Survival factors in lung cancer patients with mutations in the PROS1, SERPINC1, F2, and F5 genes.”
The study identified associations between genes involved in blood coagulation and survival outcomes in patients with lung cancer. Analyzing genetic and clinical data from 1,419 patients, the researchers found that the prognostic significance of four coagulation-related genes varied according to mutation status, tumor location and other clinical characteristics. The findings suggest that these genes may provide additional information for understanding lung cancer prognosis, although their clinical usefulness remains to be established.
The research was led by first and corresponding author Ryan Brownlee, affiliated with the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University.
Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Although advances in targeted therapies, immunotherapy and molecular diagnostics have improved outcomes for some patients, survival varies considerably depending on disease stage, tumor characteristics and treatment response. Identifying additional biological factors associated with prognosis could help researchers better understand these differences.
One area of growing interest is the relationship between cancer and blood coagulation. Patients with malignancies are at increased risk of abnormal blood clots, known as cancer-associated thrombosis. Beyond causing potentially serious complications, coagulation-related proteins can influence inflammation, tumor growth and interactions between malignant cells and their surrounding tissues.
The researchers focused on four genes associated with thrombophilia, an increased tendency to develop blood clots: PROS1, SERPINC1, F2 and F5. These genes encode proteins involved in regulating the coagulation cascade, and alterations in their function have been linked to thrombotic disorders.
