COPD and lung cancer are two of the most common pulmonary diseases encountered in clinical medicine. However, knowledge about the linkage between these two diseases is in its infancy. In part, this knowledge deficit is understandable because the biology of lung cancer has historically been ...
Summary This chapter contains sections titled: Epidemiology Prevalence of COPD in patients with lung cancer Increased risk of lung cancer in patients with COPD Implications for the early detection of lung cancer Why is there an increased risk of lung cancer in patients with COPD? Management of lung...
In 63.4% of the patients lung cancer at stage III and IV was diagnosed. In 15.2% of the patients pathological diagnosis was not established due to severe general condition and low FEV1. We conclude that coexistence of COPD may be a serious obstacle in the diagnosis and treatment of primary ...
Overall mortality was similar (56% vs 58%). However, stage-adjusted mortality showed a trend toward greater mortality in group B patients (1.87 [0.91–3.85];P=0.087). COPD infradiagnosis is common in patients with coexisting lung cancer and is associated with more advanced cancer stage, ...

摘要:晚期慢性阻塞性肺疾病(chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD)患者的肺移植(lung transplantation,LTx)与肺功能和运动能力的显着改善相关。但是与其他呼吸系统疾病相比,关于该手术是否能提供生存益处的证据更加不明确。识别出死亡风险增加对患者来说是至关重要的:低水平的第一秒用力呼气量(forced expiratory vo...
Background The COPD-Lung Cancer Screening Score (COPD-LUCSS) is a tool designed to help identify patients with COPD with the highest risk of developing lung cancer (LC). The COPD-LUCSS includes the determination of radiological emphysema, a potential limitation for its implementation in clinical...
Lung cancer screening may provide an opportunity to improve COPD diagnosis. Using Pan-Canadian Early Detection of Lung Cancer (PanCan) study data, the present study sought to determine the following: 1) What is the prevalence of COPD in a lung cancer screening population? 2) Can a model ...
suggest that the coexistence of bronchiectasis in patients with COPD may increase the duration of ICU stay and hospitalization but does not influence the ... G Gursel - 《Heart & Lung》 被引量: 163发表: 2006年 Lung cancer patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The aim of this ...
Besides, increasing evidences have demonstrated stem cell-like cancer cells are regarded as the important contributor to multidrug resistance39,40. And EMT has been considered as a potential link between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer8,41. Nonetheless tumor cells comprise...
