Estrogen adversely affects the prognosis of patients with lung adenocarcinoma
Estrogen has been postulated to contribute to the development and progression of lung cancer. We examined the epidemiologic evidence, explored the characteristics of estrogen receptors (ER) in lung adenocarcinoma, and investigated the effect of estrogen on lung cancer cell migration, including the signaling pathway involved. For epidemiologic evidence, a total of 1434 consecutive non-small cell...
متن کاملPulmonary carcinoid tumors and asbestos exposure.
OBJECTIVES The hypothesis that asbestos exposure may have more specific associations with particular histological types of lung cancer remains controversial. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationships between asbestos exposure and pulmonary carcinoid tumors. METHODS A retrospective case-control study was conducted in 28 cases undergoing surgery for pulmonary carcinoid tumors and a...
متن کاملTricuspid and pulmonary valve involvement in carcinoid disease.
We report the case of a 62-year-old woman in whom carcinoid disease had been diagnosed 6 years earlier. She subsequently developed tricuspid and pulmonary valve disease. Both valves were incompetent and mildly stenotic. The tricuspid valve required surgery; the pulmonary vaive was explored but not treated. Valve surgery in patients with carcinoid disease is discussed in light of the prognosis o...
متن کاملInfrequent Mutations of the p53 Gene in Pulmonary Carcinoid Tumors
Archival specimens of 25 pulmonary carcinoids including 15 cases of typical carcinoid, 9 atypical carcinoids, and 1 large-cell nenroendocrine carcinoma were analyzed for mutations in exons 5 to 8 of the p53 gene. Mutations were identified in 4 tumors, including 3 out of 15 (20%) typical carcinoids and the single large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, but none of the atypical carcinomas showed a m...
متن کاملAnalysis of ErbB receptors in pulmonary carcinoid tumors.
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the expression of the ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases in pulmonary typical carcinoid and atypical carcinoid tumors and to understand the role of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling in pulmonary carcinoid tumor proliferation. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Surgically resected typical carcinoid (n = 24) and atypical carcinoid (n = 7) tumor tis...
