molecular Diagnostic testing in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Introduction Over the past decade, the oncology community has witnessed a revolution in our understanding of the biology of lung cancer with the identification of a significant proportion of patients whose tumors harbor targetable molecular changes. these recurrent genomic alterations include mutations, gene rearrangements, and copy number changes in relevant lung cancer genes (Figure 1). A var...
متن کاملDiagnostic imaging of lung cancer.
Carcinoma of the bronchus is the most common malignancy in the Western world. It is also the leading cause of cancer-related death accounting for 32% of all cancer deaths in males and 25% in females. In the USA it causes more deaths than cancers of the colon, breast and prostate combined. Disappointingly, in a recent UK survey of improvements in cancer survival, carcinoma of the bronchus showed...
متن کاملReclassifying ovarian cancer: origins, subtypes and resistance to therapy
Recent pathological and molecular studies have forced a very significant re-evaluation of the conventional classification of EOC. Microarray and other molecular experiments demonstrate that EOC is a series of molecularly distinct diseases that individually bear more resemblance to certain non-ovarian cancers than they do to each other. Ovarian cancer really represents a spectrum of distinct dis...
متن کاملDiagnostic procedures in lung cancer.
W hen a suspicious lesion is noted on the chest x-ray film, a battery of procedures is employed to establish the diagnosis and extent of the disease. Bronchoscopy; lymph node biopsy, biopsy of the lesion; liver, bone and brain scanning; and efforts to determine if the lesion is primary or metastatic are all used in careful selection and staging. This discussion is limited to a brief review of s...
متن کاملAnti-cancer effects and molecular mechanisms of sour tea (Hibiscus sabdariffa) in the human cellular model (A549) of lung cancer
Background and Aims: Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide that despite the recent progress, its existing treatments have not sufficient efficiency, and scientists are always trying to find complementary therapies. Medicinal plants, such as sour tea, have attracted lots of attention due to their abundant antioxidant compounds. In the present study, in addition to assessin...
