Summary
Thymidylate synthase (TS) is a substance the body produces naturally. The purpose of this
research is to determine if there is a link between TS production and how well patients
respond to treatment of non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim for the
future is that doctors could have a better understanding in advance about which patients
might respond well to pemetrexed based on how much TS they produce.
