Surgery for nonsmall cell lung cancer.
Surgery remains the best curative option in patients with early stage lung cancer (stage I and II). Developments in minimally invasive techniques now allow surgeons to perform lung resections on elderly patients, patients with poor pulmonary function or significant cardiopulmonary comorbidities. New techniques, such as stereotactic radiotherapy and ablative procedures, are being evaluated in ea...
متن کاملThyroid Metastasis from Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer
Background. Thyroid metastases are rare. Clinically, they represent less than 4% of thyroid malignancy in clinical studies. Aim. To assess various presentations and therapy for patients with lung cancer metastatic in the thyroid. Materials and Methods. We report a case of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the lung to the thyroid. We reviewed similar reports through PubmMed search from 1997 until 201...
متن کاملSurgery in Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Past, Present and Future
Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma (SCLC) represents about 15% of all lung cancers diagnosed worldwide. Although its incidence is diminished in the last decades, SCLC continues to represent an almost fatal disease due to its propensity to local relapse and distant metastasis, despite initial responsiveness to therapies. Biological behaviour of SCLC has therefore lead to consider it as a systemic disease...
متن کاملEffectiveness of maintenance treatments for nonsmall cell lung cancer.
Maintenance therapy for advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer has shown some clinical benefit for patients by improving progression-free survival and, to a lesser extent, overall survival. Two main strategies exist for maintenance therapy, ie, continuation and switch maintenance. Continuation maintenance involves the continued use of one of the induction drugs beyond 4-6 cycles of initial treatmen...
متن کاملSurgical treatment of metachronous nonsmall cell lung cancer.
PURPOSE We report surgical results of metachronous nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS We report mortality and analyze prognostic factors for overall survival in patients with metachronous NSCLC at Nippon Medical School from July 1982 to July 2008. RESULTS Thirty-three out of 1726 patients (1.9%) who underwent lung resection had metachronous NSCLC. Mortality rate was 10%. On univaria...
