One of the possible targets that may play a role in GBM is ion channels and some studies were done to establish a correlation between the expression of ion channels and tumorigenesis [2]. Ion channels are expressed differently in normal and pathological tissues. About 90% of GBM samples studie...
While the utility of PET is well-established in lung cancer imaging, its role in clinical diagnosis of PF is less well defined. Despite the lack of integration into the standard treatment algorithm, fibrotic changes of the lungs are well visualized on FDG and may be seen prior to CT changes...
aRoutine lung cancer screening using chest x-ray or lung CT scan is not currently recommended for people who don't have symptoms. Many studies have been done to test the benefit of screening. Most experts have concluded that screening will not cure the disease or help people live longer. ...
