Skeletal-related events and overall survival of patients with bone metastasis from nonsmall cell lung cancer – A retrospective analysis
Because of improving treatments and survival, 40% to 58% of patients with bone metastases from nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will suffer from at least one skeletal-related event (SRE), affecting their quality of life, but the natural history of SRE is poorly understood. The study aimed to examine the factors involved in SRE-free survival (SRS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with NSCL...
متن کاملLeptomeningeal Carcinomatosis Presenting Early in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Purpose: we present the case of a patient presenting with altered mental status on post-operative day seven after a diagnostic lung biopsy. The diagnosis of carcinomatous letomeningeal metastasis was confirmed. Methods: we discuss meningeal carcinomatosis in lung cancer, and describe challenges to diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis. Results: a review of the literature describing the clinical and...
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 کاملVesicle-related microRNAs in plasma of nonsmall cell lung cancer patients and correlation with survival.
The identification of tumour biomarkers that detect the presence of disease using noninvasive diagnostic procedures is a key part of cancer research. We determined in plasma the vesicle-related microRNA (miRNA) expression profile of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and evaluate whether plasma miRNAs can be both discriminating (between patients and healthy controls) and prognostic markers. 365 ...
متن کاملComplete response and long-term survival of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis from breast cancer with maintenance endocrine therapy.
Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis carries a poor prognosis in breast cancer. Treatment modalities are geared towards tumour molecular characteristics, as well as symptoms and patient performance status. It has previously been postulated that endocrine treatments used for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer do cross the blood-brain barrier and can achieve antineoplastic effects in the central ...
