Mutations in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a strong association between tobacco use and lung cancer; however, the genetic targets of these carcinogens and the role of other environmental agents in this process have yet to be defined. We examined the contribution of alcohol use and cigarette smoking to p53 gene mutations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Mutations of the p53 gene were ...
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 کاملSentinel Node Mapping in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Using an Intraoperative Radiotracer Technique
Objective(s): Lymph node metastases are the most significant prognostic factor in localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Identification of the first nodal drainage site (sentinel node) may improve detection of metastatic nodes. Extended surgeries, such as lobectomy or pneumonectomy with lymph node dissection, are among the therapeutic options of higher acceptab...
متن کاملGlutathione metabolism in patients with non-small cell lung cancers.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Because NSCLC is highly chemoresistant, it is, usually not treatable. Altered glutathione (GSH) metabolism is thought to be one major mechanism of chemoresistance, and GSH levels are reported to be elevated in NSCLC. The main objective of this study is to delineate the potential mechanisms involved in ...
متن کاملNon-Small Cell Lung Cancers Methylthioadenosine Phosphorylase Deficiency in Human
Methylthioadenosine (MeSAdo) phosphorylase, a purine metabolic en zyme, is present in all normal mammalian tissues. A deficiency of this enzyme has been reported in some human leukemias and lymphomas and in a few solid tumors. In the present study, a specific immunoassay was used to assess the enzyme levels in human non-small cell lung cancer cell lines and primary tumors. We also tested the ef...
