Induction chemotherapy for resectable non-small-cell lung cancer.
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in American men and women. Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85% of these cases. Although surgery is the best curative approach for resectable NSCLC, long-term survival for patients with operable disease remains poor. More than half of patients who initially present with stage I to IIIA disease experience relapse of metastatic ...
متن کاملOptimal approach for upfront resectable non-small-cell lung cancer
Approximately one third of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) present with resectable disease, defined as clinical stages I and II and some borderline stage III extensions (e.g. T3N0–1). Although radical resection is the cornerstone of treatment in adequately staged patients, its outcome is not always curative, as some patients might be functionally inoperable, refuse surgery, hav...
متن کاملClinical, pathologic, and biologic features associated with BRAF mutations in non-small cell lung cancer.
PURPOSE BRAF mutations are found in a subset of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). We examined the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients with NSCLC harboring BRAF mutations. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Using DNA sequencing, we successfully screened 883 patients with NSCLC for BRAF mutations between July 1, 2009 and July 16, 2012. Baseline characteristics and treatment outcomes...
متن کاملClinical significance of nm23 expression in resected pathologic-stage I, non-small cell lung cancer.
BACKGROUND Clinical significance of the status of nm23 gene, originally identified as an antimetastatic gene, in non-small cell lung cancer remains unestablished, whereas many clinical studies have demonstrated that reduced nm23 expression is correlated with tumor progression and poor prognosis in a variety of malignant tumors such as breast carcinoma. METHODS nm23 expression was examined imm...
متن کاملSentinel Node Mapping in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Using an Intraoperative Radiotracer Technique
Objective(s): Lymph node metastases are the most significant prognostic factor in localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Identification of the first nodal drainage site (sentinel node) may improve detection of metastatic nodes. Extended surgeries, such as lobectomy or pneumonectomy with lymph node dissection, are among the therapeutic options of higher acceptab...
