Concurrent chemo-radiotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer using intensity-modulated radiotherapy technique [PDF]
Background: major progress in the management of non-small cell lung cancer emerged in the last years. Survival rate markedly improved in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer with the use of concurrent chemoradiotherapy treatment.

Deep sequence analysis of non-small cell lung cancer: Integrated analysis of gene expression, alternative splicing, and single nucleotide variations in lung adenocarcinomas with and without oncogenic KRAS mutations [PDF]
KRAS mutations are highly prevalent in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and tumors harboring these mutations tend to be aggressive and resistant to chemotherapy.

CMTM6: a potential biomarker in non-small cell lung carcinoma
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. With the advent of immunotherapy, programmed cell death-1 and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors have gained clinical importance, driving research into their regulatory ...

Pneumopericardium as a non-small-cell lung carcinoma complication
Below we present a case of a young man with symptoms of progressive weakness, fever, cough, rapid decrease in body weight and the presence of a tumor in the left axillary region. The chest radiography and echocardiography revealed gas bubbles in the pericardium.

Microvessel density as a prognostic factor in non-small-cell lung carcinoma: a meta-analysis of individual patient data. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Angiogenesis is a potential prognostic factor that has been investigated in patients with non-small-cell lung carcinoma. However, published studies of the role of angiogenesis as a prognostic factor are inconclusive.
