Bacterial Infection Elicits Heat Shock Protein 72 Release from Pleural Mesothelial Cells [PDF]

, 2013
Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) has been implicated in infection-related processes and has been found in body fluids during infection. This study aimed to determine whether pleural mesothelial cells release HSP70 in response to bacterial infection in vitro

Gene signatures characterizing driver mutations in lung squamous carcinoma are predictive of the progression of pre‐cancer lesions

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is more aggressive than lung adenocarcinoma, and is most often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Here, the authors evaluated gene expression data from LUSC tumors and came up with gene signatures for 34 genetic abnormalities whose expression changes throughout different precancerous stages. Several of these

Factors influencing malignant mesothelioma survival: a retrospective review of the National Mesothelioma Virtual Bank cohort [version 1; referees: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations]

F1000Research, 2018
Background: Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a rare but deadly malignancy with about 3,000 new cases being diagnosed each year in the US.  Very few studies have been performed to analyze factors associated with mesothelioma survival, especially for ...

Estimated future incidence of malignant mesothelioma in South Korea: Projection from 2014 to 2033. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Malignant mesothelioma is a malignant tumor on the pleura or the peritoneum caused mostly by asbestos. Although asbestos is not currently used in South Korea, the incidence of mesothelioma is increasing due to its long latent period. This study predicted

Pleural mesothelioma and lung cancer risks in relation to occupational history and asbestos lung burden. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: We have conducted a population-based study of pleural mesothelioma patients with occupational histories and measured asbestos lung burdens in occupationally exposed workers and in the general population.

Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...

Dramatic tumour response to pemetrexed single-agent in an elderly patient with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma: a case report

BMC Cancer, 2006
Background To date, there is no standard treatment for unresectable malignant peritoneal mesothelioma; either best supportive care or systemic chemotherapy with palliative intent are accepted options.

Inducers of epithelial mesenchymal transition and cancer stem cells in malignant pleural effusions [PDF]

, 2016
The Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) plays a role not only in tumor metastasis but also in tumor recurrence. This process is believed to be tightly linked to the presence of Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) however, it is still not clear which ...

Malignant paratesticular mesothelioma

Autopsy and Case Reports, 2014
Mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis (MTVT) is a rare tumor that usually affects patients after the sixth decade of life. Exposure to asbestos is a known risk factor. Enlargement of the scrotal volume is the most common initial clinical manifestation, and about 15% of cases present metastasis at diagnosis.

Peripheral versus Marrow Lipidomics in Patients with Severe Aplastic Anemia: Potential Indicators for Early Immunosuppressive Treatment Response

Lipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to explore the differences of peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow serum lipidomic profiles in severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patients and their significance in predicting earlier immunosuppressive therapy (IST) response. A cohort of 11 newly diagnosed SAA patients and 15 healthy controls were enrolled between June 2020 and ...
