Genetic Susceptibility to Lung Adenocarcinoma

Genetic susceptibility to lung cancer.

Lung cancer is a highly environmental disease, but cancer researchers have long been interested in investigating genetic susceptibility to lung cancer. This paper is a historical review and provides updated perspectives on lung cancer susceptibility research. The recent introduction of easier genotyping methods and the availability of an almost complete human genome database facilitated the ass...

Case Report Of Lymphangitic Carcinomatosis Secondary To Lung Adenocarcinoma

Pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis is the spread of a tumor to the lungs through the lymphatic system, which is a rare and final manifestation of cancer with a poor prognosis. Its main symptom is gradual and progressive dyspnea. The method of choice for diagnosis is high-resolution CT (HRCT), the most common finding of which is an increase in nodular and irregular septal thickness between th...

Genetic Susceptibility to Transient and Permanent Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus

Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare kind of diabetes characterized by hyperglycemia and low levels of insulin. Clinically, it is categorized into two main types: transient NDM (TNDM) and permanent NDM (PNDM). These types are diagnosed based on duration of insulin dependence early in the disease. In TNDM, diabetes begins in the first few weeks of life with remission in a few months. Howev...

Genetic Susceptibility to Interstitial Lung Disease Associated with Systemic Sclerosis

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease that is characterized by tissue fibrosis, microvasculopathy, and autoimmunity. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common complication of SSc and is one of the frequent causes of mortality in SSc. Although the exact etiology of SSc remains unknown, clinical and experimental investigations have suggested that genetic and environmental fact...
