OBJECTIVE Our main aim was to investigate the effect of dynamic and contrast enhanced CT imaging on differential diagnosis of lung carcinoma, pulmonary tuberculoma, inflammatory pseudotumor, and coexisting pulmonary tuberculosis and lung cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS About, 144 patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis as the study subjects were chosen which included: 36 patients with lung carcinoma...

Background : Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality over worldwide. Although pathological diagnosis lung carcinoma limited as only small specimen available for diagnosis, availability targeted therapies has created a need precise subtyping non-small cell carcinoma. Several recent studies have demonstrated that use immunohistochemical markers can be helpful in differentiati...

BACKGROUND Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) mainly includes lung squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. This study aimed to investigate the difference between the expression of Cbl-b in lung squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS The clinical features and survival data of NSCLC patients and Cbl-b mRNA (FPKM) were obtained from the TCGA database. Then, lung sq...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung represents 30% of all non-small cell lung carcinomas. It arises from dysplasia of squamous epithelium of the bronchi and is strongly associated with cigarette smoking. Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is known to produce metastases in the brain parenchyma. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of an 80-year-old indigenous Austr...

BACKGROUND Lung Carcinoma is the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide with an incidence of 1.3 million cases per year. This study was undertaken to determine prevalence of various histological types of lung carcinoma and to analyse their changing trends with time. METHODS This is a retrospective analytical study. A total of 330 cases of lung carcinoma were analysed from 2003 to...

The present study aimed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between lung adenocarcinoma and normal lung tissues, and between lung squamous cell carcinoma and normal lung tissues, with the purpose of identifying potential biomarkers for the treatment of lung cancer. The gene expression profile (GSE6044) was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, which included da...

Parotid metastasis originated from papillary thyroid carcinoma is extremely rare, especially as the first presentation of the disease. We present a 70-year-old man with a history of painless swelling in the right side of the neck. He was evaluated for parotid tumor and histopathologic examination revealed a poorly differentiated carcinoma in the parotid gland with suspicion of thyroid origin. T...

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 To make the difference between two uncommon entities, small cell prostate carcinoma and prostatic metastasis of small cell lung cancer. METHODS We describe a case of single extrapulmonar metastasis in the prostate from small lung carcinoma. RESULTS We describe a case of single extrapulmonar metastasis in the prostate from small lung carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS Clinical and radiograp...
