Predictors of lung cancer: noteworthy cell type differences.
OBJECTIVE To study risk factors for cell types of lung cancer. METHODS Cohort study of 126,293 persons with 1852 subjects with incident cancer. We performed Cox proportional hazards models (8 covariates) to estimate risk of the 4 most numerous specific cell types: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, and bronchioloalveolar carcinoma. RESULTS Smoking 1 or more cigar...
متن کاملAre there any ethnic differences in molecular predictors of erlotinib efficacy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer?
PURPOSE This study investigated possible molecular predictors of outcome in Korean patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with erlotinib. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN One hundred and twenty patients received erlotinib and were followed prospectively. Ninety-two tissue samples were analyzed for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations (exons 18, 19, and 21), 88 for EGFR...
متن کاملClinicopathological Features of Patients with Non-small-cell Lung Cancer in West of Iran
Background: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide with an annual mortality rate of more than 1.3 million worldwide. We aimed to analyze the clinicopathological features of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in west of Iran. Methods: 64 patients with NSCLC who referred to our clinic were analyzed. Sex, age, histopathology, location of the tumor, treatment,...
متن کاملATM induces radioresistance of non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells by downregulation of MDMX
Background: Tumor radioresistance leads to a reduction in the efficiency of radiation therapy. It is very important to explore the cellular mechanisms leading to radioresistance and to find potential therapeutic targets, which might improve the efficacy of radiation therapy. This study was to investigate the role of ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and murine double minute X (MDMX) in radior...
متن کاملGenome-wide allelotyping of lung cancer identifies new regions of allelic loss, differences between small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, and loci clustering.
To identify the major tumor suppressor gene (TSG) loci involved in the pathogenesis of lung cancer, we have conducted a high-resolution (10 cM), genome-wide search of loss of heterozygosity (LOH). Thirty-six lung cancer cell lines [14 small cell lung cancers (SCLCs) and 22 non-SCLCs (NSCLCs)] and their matched control DNAs were analyzed using 399 fluorescent microsatellite markers from the ABI ...
