Angiogenesis and Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
نویسنده
چکیده
Non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 80% of all lung cancers. Despite improvements in treatment protocols the survival rate in NSCLC remains poor. An improved understanding of cancer biology has led to the investigation of angiogenesis in NSCLC development and progression by intratumoral microvessel count or expression of angiogenic markers. The prognostic significance of several frequently assessed angiogenic factors and current antiangiogenic strategies which proved to be particularly promising in combination with chemo therapeutic agents for clinical management of NSCLC are here reviewed.

A review of the role of dopamine receptors and novel therapeutic strategies in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Lung cancer is a very aggressive and most deadly cancer in both men and women. Lung cancer is divided into two types of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC is divided into 3 subgroups: adenocarcinoma (AC), squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) and large cell carcinoma (LCC). Dopamine is involved in controlling motions, cognition, emotions, memory and reward mech...

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...
