Background: Lung carcinoma is a multiple type cancer comprising of small cell and non-small cell carcinomas (NSCLC). For therapeutic and diagnostic purposes, serum monoclonal antibodies have been produced against lung cancer. Objective: To charac-terize a murine monoclonal antibody (ME3D11) reactive with human NSCLC. Methods: A murine monoclonal antibody (ME3D11) reactive with human NSCLC was s...

Background: Apelin has recently been considered as an adipokine secreted from visceral fat. Apelin and itsreceptor exist in many tissues including lung and play significant roles in many physiological andpathological activities. However, serum level of apelin-12 is unknown in smokers and in various types of lungmalignancies. There...

background: to determine which radiotherapy parameters are associated with the tumor response of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (nsclc) patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy. materials and methods: thirty one patients with iiia/iiib nsclc underwent chemoradiotherapy with a median dose of 63 gy. on our actual treatments, we made radiotherapy planning to cover the planning...

introduction: growth, proliferation, survival, and differentiation are the prominent characteristics of cells, which are affected by cancer. epidermal growth factor receptor (egfr) plays a pivotal role in the effective control of these features. given the significance of egfr signaling pathway in non-small cell lung cancer (nsclc), egfr expression is influential on these cell characteristics. i...
