Preoperative leukocytosis, anemia and thrombocytosis are associated with poor survival in non-small cell lung cancer.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported any prognostic impact of preoperative leukocytosis, anemia and thrombocytosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The significance of the combined use of these 3 abnormal blood cell counts was investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS Two hundred and eighty-nine consecutive NSCLC patients were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS The patients with leukocyt...
متن کاملFrequent microsatellite instability in primary small cell lung cancer.
Alterations in microsatellite sequences characterize hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. This microsatellite instability is due in some kindreds to a germline mutation of the mismatch repair gene hMSH2 on chromosome 2p. Although microsatellite alterations have been reported in other hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer-associated tumors including endometrial and gastric cancers, suc...
متن کاملLung Cancer (Large Cell Carcinoma of the Lung)
What is Lung Cancer (Large Cell Carcinoma of the Lung) Lung cancers are tumours arising from cells lining the airways of the respiratory system. One type of lung cancer is known as Large Cell Carcinoma. The cells of this tumour appear large and abnormal under the microscope. Statistics on Lung Cancer (Large Cell Carcinoma of the Lung) Lung cancer is common. One in every 28 Australians will deve...
متن کاملOverexpression of cancer stem cell marker Lgr5 in colorectal cancer patients and association with pathologic findings
Background: To determine the expression of cancer stem cell marker Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 5 (Lgr5) in colorectal carcinoma samples compared to normal adjacent tissue and any possible association with clinicopathological findings. Methods: This study was performed on forty samples of cancerous colorectal tissues (case group) and their adjacent normal mucosa (c...
متن کاملMutational and gene fusion analyses of primary large cell and large cell neuroendocrine lung cancer
Large cell carcinoma with or without neuroendocrine features (LCNEC and LC, respectively) constitutes 3-9% of non-small cell lung cancer but is poorly characterized at the molecular level. Herein we analyzed 41 LC and 32 LCNEC (including 15 previously reported cases) tumors using massive parallel sequencing for mutations in 26 cancer-related genes and gene fusions in ALK, RET, and ROS1. LC pati...
