Alu profiling of primary and metastatic nonsmall cell lung cancer.
The metastatic potential of nonsmall cell carcinoma of lung (NSCLC), is currently recognized post factum, when lymph nodes or distant organs are already involved. Our ability to determine which tumors have acquired metastatic potential could help direct therapy to be more aggressive or less aggressive based upon this information. Evaluation of microsatellite instability via detection of LOH at ...
متن کاملSurgery for nonsmall cell lung cancer.
Surgery remains the best curative option in patients with early stage lung cancer (stage I and II). Developments in minimally invasive techniques now allow surgeons to perform lung resections on elderly patients, patients with poor pulmonary function or significant cardiopulmonary comorbidities. New techniques, such as stereotactic radiotherapy and ablative procedures, are being evaluated in ea...
متن کاملRole of Radiotherapy in Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Radiotherapy has had important role in the palliation of NSCLC. Randomized trials tend to suggest that, in general, short regimens give similar palliation and toxicity compared to longer regimens. The benefit of combining chemotherapy to radiosensitize the palliative radiation treatment is an open question, but so far it has not been proved to be very useful in NSCLC. The addition of molecular ...
متن کاملThyroid Metastasis from Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer
Background. Thyroid metastases are rare. Clinically, they represent less than 4% of thyroid malignancy in clinical studies. Aim. To assess various presentations and therapy for patients with lung cancer metastatic in the thyroid. Materials and Methods. We report a case of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the lung to the thyroid. We reviewed similar reports through PubmMed search from 1997 until 201...
متن کاملEffectiveness of maintenance treatments for nonsmall cell lung cancer.
Maintenance therapy for advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer has shown some clinical benefit for patients by improving progression-free survival and, to a lesser extent, overall survival. Two main strategies exist for maintenance therapy, ie, continuation and switch maintenance. Continuation maintenance involves the continued use of one of the induction drugs beyond 4-6 cycles of initial treatmen...
