Efficacy of chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
BACKGROUND Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common type of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia and is associated with an independent increased risk of lung carcinogenesis. The benefit of chemotherapy for lung cancer in cases of IPF remains unknown. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to elucidate the efficacy of chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in pati...
متن کاملTonsillar Metastasis of Small Cell Lung Cancer in a Patient With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) metastasizes widely, but palatine tonsil is an extremely unusual site for metastasis. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is associated with increased risk of lung cancer. However, the most common histological findings among patients of lung cancer with IPF are known as non-SCLC such as adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. In addition, the majority of them a...
متن کاملDifferential telomerase expression in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and non-small cell lung cancer
Telomerase is a reverse transcriptase ribonucleo-protein (h-TERT) that synthesizes telomeric repeats using its RNA component (h-TERC) as a template. Telomerase dysfunction has been associated with both fibrogenesis and carcinogenesis. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the telomerase mRNA expression levels of both subunits (h-TERT and h-TERC) in lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BA...
متن کاملPulmonary Actinomycosis Mimicking Lung Cancer
Herein, we reported on a case of solid type of pulmonary actinomycosis in a 10-year-old boy. He had productive cough for 40 days. Bronchoscopy was normal. Cmputed tomography revealed a solid large mass in the upper lobe of his left lung with mimicking malignant leisions. He was referred for surgery and underwent left upper lobectomy. Macroscopically, the specimen measured 13×9×5 cm and was crea...
متن کاملChemotherapy in small cell lung cancer.
Chemotherapy is the backbone in the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and radiotherapy is an important adjunct in limited stage disease. The role of chest irradiation is now documented in three meta-analysis, based on the same body of data. Trials on timing, scheduling and fractionation could have followed a more stringent development line but altogether, the highest efficacy seems to ...
