Background: Previous studies have suggested an association between usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) and lung cancer (Ca). However, clinical and histological information is not enough to determine such an association, due to the low incidence and short survival time of patients with both conditions...
There were many foci of squamous metaplasia or dysplasia at the peripheral area of squamous cell carcinomas. Conclusions: We report 43 cases of UIP-Ca. Our results suggest that smoking is related to cancer occurrence in UIP patients and poor prognosis in UIP-Ca patients. 展开 关键词:...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women and men both in the United States and throughout the world. Lung cancer has surpassedbreast canceras the leading cause of cancer deaths in women for the past 25 years. In the United States, there are more deaths due to lung canc...
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths and imposes an enormous economic burden on patients. It is important to develop an accurate risk assessment model to determine the appropriate treatment for patients after an initial lung cancer diagnosis. The Cox proportional hazards model is mainly ...
Pulmonary embolism (PE), a form of venous thromboembolism, is a frequently observed complication in malignancies, with a notably high incidence in individuals with lung cancer. The presence of PE markedly reduces the quality of life and has a significant impact on the prognosis of those diagnosed...
If someone is exposed to asbestos, the fibers or dust could get trapped in the lungs. Over time, this can cause genetic changes that lead to cancer. It can take 10-50 yearsto develop lung cancer from asbestos. This period of time is known as the latency period, and it’s often the ...
Nineteen episodes (18 patients) of obstructive pneumonia occurring in 247 patients with lung cancer were clinically examined, and the following findings were obtained. 1) All 18 patients were male smokers, with an average of 64 years. 2) Body temperatures stood above 37 degrees C in 95% of ...
Weight loss and loss of appetite. Shortness of breath. Feeling tired or weak. Infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia that don’t go away or keep coming back. New onset of wheezing.”Lung cancer does not discriminate based on sex or race, but the primary risk factor for developing the...
This review summarizes recent progress in understanding themolecular pathogenesisof lung cancer, and attempts to describe howgene expression profilingof human lung cancer and airway specimens is leading to new approaches in lung cancer screening, classification, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. The rev...
