In lung cancer, the malignancy develops within the lobes of the lung or within pleural tissue. Being malignant means that the cancer has the potential to damage healthy lung tissue. These cells can also spread and damage organs elsewhere in the body. Benign Tumors Tumors such as hartoma and ...
Anthracosis was detected in the remaining. Malignancy was detected in 28 patients (37.8%) in G2. Thirty-three patients were diagnosed as benign (24 anthracosis; 8 lymphocytes, and 1 granulomatous); 8 were not sampled, and inadequate material was obtained in five. The sensit...
ILD-associated with systemic disease processes:Examples are connective tissue diseases, histiocytosis, malignancy-relatedlung disease,sarcoidosis, and storage diseases. Disorders of the compromisedimmune system:This group includes opportunistic infection, disorders related to therapeutic intervention, lung and bon...
What is the pathophysiology of lung cancer?Lung Cancer:Smoking is the biggest risk factor for developing lung cancer. There are a number of treatments that can be used to treat lung cancer, including new immunotherapies.Answer and Explanation: ...
I don’t have ALS so I have never been in your shoes, but I am a cancer survivor of a very serious malignancy. So far I’m doing well, but I know what it is like to be a patient, and us scientists/doctors saying we need more time is frustrating. But you are right there are ...
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a deadly cancer associated with smoke exposure that has neuroendocrine (NE) cell properties and is pathologically, molecularly, biologically and clinically very different from other lung cancers. While most patients with SCLC respond initially to cytotoxic therapy, almo...
The little we know so far about the pathogenesis is summarized in Fig. 4. Namely, we know from the early research on the mechanisms of acute COVID-19 that the initial cellular targets are the epithelial cells lining the nose, bronchi and alveolar sacs in the lung. These cells represent ...
This can be caused by several factors, such as congestive heart failure, malignancy, or pneumonia, and is generally identified when a patient complains of shortness of breath and increasing chest discomfort. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) ILD is a broad term to describe conditions that cause ...
Despite decades of research, the extent to which human progerias resemble accelerated ageing is still unclear and highly debated. Understanding this connection will require the ongoing characterization of genetic pathways that influence the ageing proces
This malignancy is most common in Caucasians, but has been reported in African Americans, Spanish, Puerto Rican, Korean and Japanese patients.5,11-13 It also occurs in patients who previously received radiotherapy.7,13-16 Although extension to the muscle, vascular adventitia, perichondrium, peri...
