EP-1358 SBRT for de novo pulmonary tumors in patients with completely resected early stage NSCLC

Metformin and Not Diabetes Influences the Survival of Resected Early Stage NSCLC Patients.

BACKGROUND Published data suggest that diabetes influences survival of patients with lung cancer. The anti-cancer effect of metformin confounds this association. We sought to study the association of diabetes and metformin with survival in patients undergoing resection of stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Pathologic stage I NSCLC patients undergoing anatomic resection from 2...

Proteomic screening of completely resected tumors in relation to survival in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer.

To investigate the early changes in protein function that induce micro-metastasis in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer, we conducted proteomic analysis of tissue that had been completely resected. We selected sixteen patients whose tumors were pathological stage I adenocarcinoma with hobnail cell morphology. We compared their proteomic profiles between patients whose cancers recurred and d...

Pretreatment SUVmax as a Marker for Progression-Free Survival in Stage I NSCLC Treated With SBRT.

Survival analysis of 220 patients with completely resected stage-II non-small cell lung cancer.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Surgery is the main therapy for patients with stage II non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but patients still have an unsatisfactory prognosis even though complete resection is usually possible. Adjuvant chemotherapy provides low rates of clinical benefit as well. We retrospectively analyzed prognostic factors of patients with completely resected stage II NSCLC to find ...

[De novo urologic tumors in kidney transplant patients].

CONTEXT The ability of a transplant recipient to accept a graft depends on the ability of immunosuppressive drugs to regulate the immune system. Such treatments have been associated with tumor promotion and progression. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A systematic literature review was carried out. Electronic searches were performed in PubMed database. The searching criterion was "urological tumors in k...
