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...

3000 patients, having undergone fiber - optic bronchoscopy (foli) over 10 years, in our hospital were evaluated. thec aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of lung cancer in iran and their correlation with somking and to study the clinical anil radiological signs in different cancers ami the role of fiber-optic bronchoscopy in their diagnosis and the hazards of this method, 'llxe co...

background: lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide with an annual mortality rate of more than 1.3 million worldwide. we aimed to analyze the clinicopathological features of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (nsclc) in west of iran. methods: 64 patients with nsclc who referred to our clinic were analyzed. sex, age, histopathology, location of the tumor, treatment, ...

Objective(s):Ischemia is described as organs and tissues are destitute of oxygen due to decreased arterial or venous blood flow. Many mechanisms play role in cell death happened as a consequence of a new blood flow is needed for both cell regeneration and to clean toxic metabolites during ischemia and later. Lung damage induced by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is a frequent problem in lung transpl...

Tumour cells may be resistant to radiotherapy that results in unsuccessful cancer treatment in patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitizing effect of atorvastatin (ATV) on breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) and non-small cell lung cancer (A-549) cells following exposure to ionizing radiation (IR). These cells were treated with ATV and exposed to X-ray at dose 4 Gy. The radiosensitizi...

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) has a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of the lung cancer. It is known that COX-2 negatively regulates the activity of a number of tumor suppressors, including p53. Consequently, inhibition of COX-2 signaling is anticipated to be a promising approach to stabilize p53 functionality. In this regard, we investigated the effect of COX-2 signaling blockade on p53 and COX-2 e...
