(PET) scans, andmagnetic resonance imaging(MRI). There are also several blood tests that may be used to detect proteins and other substances known to be associated with lung cancer. For example, abnormal fluctuations in theserumlevels ofparathormoneor the presence in the blood of a protein ...
Positron emission tomography (PET) represents a dramatic advance in the imaging of lung cancer. It is valuable for the diagnosis, staging, prognosis, and restaging of disease, and is most useful in patients considered for potentially curative therapy for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In ...

As lung cancer has the highest cancer-specific mortality rates worldwide, there is an urgent need for new therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to detect early-stage tumors and to monitor their response to the therapy. In addition to the well-established
If you have bronchitis or pneumonia along with lung cancer, medication may or may not help you feel better for a little while. Follow up if your cough doesn’t go away or if it comes back in a couple of weeks. A chest X-ray, CT scan, or MRI scan can show the inside of your ...
A PET scan may be done to see if the cancer has spread to other parts of your body. Radioactive liquid is injected into your IV to help cancer cells show up better in pictures. Blood tests are done to get information about your overall health. A sputum sample may be tested for cancer...
In patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18FDG-PET)-scanning is shown to be of prognostic value. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive tumor with poor prognosis. Limited results on the prognostic and predictive val...
(a public dataset comprising paired PET/CT and RNA sequencing data,https://wiki.cancerimagingarchive.net), the GSEA and ssGSEA were implemented to reveal heterogeneity in genetic pathways and infiltration of immune cells in tumor microenvironment between patients with different ONM scores. GSEA and...
