Clinicopathological 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 کاملMetabolism in patients with small cell lung carcinoma compared with patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma and healthy controls.
BACKGROUND Weight loss is a frequently occurring problem in patients with lung cancer due to an increased resting energy expenditure (REE) and a decreased energy intake. The aim of the present study was to compare the metabolic and inflammatory characteristics of patients with small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). The metabolic parameters of the lung cancer...

متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) Expression in Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma and Its Association with Clinicopathologic Factors
Background & Objective: Matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) is one of the most important enzymes to breakdown extracellular matrix which plays a major role in tumor invasion and metastasis. This study aimed to determine tumor MMP-9 expression in non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and whethe...
متن کاملPreoperative pulmonary function as a prognostic factor for stage I non-small cell lung carcinoma.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to clarify preoperative lung function as a prognostic factor for the long-term survival of, and to discuss the appropriateness of lobectomy for, patients with stage I non-small cell lung carcinoma who have poor preoperative pulmonary function. METHODS The study group consisted of 402 lobectomized patients with stage I non-small cell lung carcinoma treated ...
