the aim of present study was to investigate the potential antioxidant and lung protective activities of sambucus ebulus (se) against toxicity induced by gamma irradiation. hydro alcoholic extract of se (20, 50 and 100 mg/kg ) was studied for its lung protective activity. . phenol and flavonoid contents of se were determined. male c57 mice were divided into 10 groups with five mice per group. on...

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the dominant form of cancer, comprising around 85% cases. Stage 4 NSCLC has a grim prognosis; however, immunotherapy and radiation therapy have become vital treatments for advanced-stage NSCLC, despite risk inducing second primary malignancy. This case report focuses on 45-year-old female diagnosed with metastasis to 11th thoracic vertebral body. After vari...

BACKGROUND Recent research has supported that a variety of cytokines play important roles during radiation-induced lung toxicity. The present study is designed to investigate the differences in early cytokine induction after radiation in sensitive (C57BL/6) and resistant mice (C3H). RESULTS Twenty-two cytokines in the lung tissue homogenates, bronchial lavage (BAL) fluids, and serum from 3, 6...

Indications Percutaneous needle biopsy of the lung is indicated for indeterminate pulmonary nodules or masses, particularly those that will likely require chemotherapy or radiation rather than surgery, and in patients with a history of extrapulmonary malignancy. Because targeted therapy has now become an important part of the armamentarium for treatment of lung cancer, percutaneous needle biops...

We report a 72-year-old male with past medical history of stage IV squamous lung cancer treated with radiation therapy and chemotherapy with gemcitabine/carboplatin. One year later, he presented with hemoptysis treated with another session of palliative radiotherapy. Two weeks later, patient developed aspiration pneumonia and further workup showed trachea-esophageal fistula documented by barium...
