Lung Cancer in Non-small cells: Its Epidemiology, Risk Factors, Treatment, and Survivorship
نویسندگان
چکیده
-Lung cancer arises from abnormal epithelial cells in the airways of the lungs. Epithelial cells cover all free surfaces in the body including the airways. It is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide, owing to its metastatic spread at the time of diagnosis. Disease symptom management in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a critical aspect of therapy. The main objective of our study was to assess degree of risk factors, epidemiology, treatment and survivorship of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

متن کاملAnticancer and Apoptotic Effects of Ectoine and Hydroxyectoine on Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer cells: An in-vitro Investigation
Introduction: Streptomyces manage the osmotic stress by collecting compatible solutes or osmolytes. Ectoine, 1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-pyrimidine carboxylic acid, and 5-hydroxyectoine are among the most common osmolytes of this bacteria and have an active role in protecting the genetic material of this microorganism as well as providing resistance to environmental pressures. In this researc...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel Tumor-Binding Peptide for Lung Cancer Through in-vitro Panning
Tumor-targeted therapies are playing growing roles in cancer research. The exploitation of these powerful therapeutic modalities largely depends on the discovery of tumor-targeting ligands. Phage display has proven a promising high throughput screening tool for the identification of novel specific peptides with high binding affinity to cancer cells. In the present study, we describe the use of ...
