Non-small-cell lung cancer: how to manage EGFR-mutated disease
The treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring EGFR mutations has witnessed some major breakthroughs in the last years. On the one hand, the recent advent of the third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) osimertinib has reshaped ...

Non‐small cell lung cancer in China
In China, lung cancer is a primary cancer type with high incidence and mortality. Risk factors for lung cancer include tobacco use, family history, radiation exposure, and the presence of chronic lung diseases. Most early‐stage non‐small cell lung cancer

CEA, CYFRA 21-1, NSE, and ProGRP in the diagnosis of lung cancer: a multivariate approach [PDF]
We retrospectively studied the single and combined diagnostic value of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin fragment 19 (CYFRA 21-1), neuron specific enolase (NSE) and pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP), which were routinely analysed in ...

Non-small-cell lung cancer: how to manage BRAF-mutated disease
BRAF mutations are reported in about 3–5% of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), almost exclusively in adenocarcinoma histology, and are classified into three different classes. The segmentation of BRAF mutations into V600 (class 1) and non-V600 (classes

Oral vinorelbine and cisplatin with concomitant radiotherapy in stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): A feasibility study [PDF]
Background: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy has improved survival in inoperable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This phase I trial was performed in order to establish a dose recommendation for oral vinorelbine in combination with cisplatin and

MYC is a metastasis gene for non-small-cell lung cancer. [PDF]
Metastasis is a process by which cancer cells learn to form satellite tumors in distant organs and represents the principle cause of death of patients with solid tumors. NSCLC is the most lethal human cancer due to its high rate of metastasis.

Multifunctional role of PED/PEA15 in cell death and cell motility in human non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [PDF]
PED (phosphoprotein enriched in diabetes) is a 15 KDa protein involved in many cellular pathways and human diseases, including type II diabetes and cancer. We recently reported its overexpression in breast and lung cancers, and B-cell chronic lymphocytic

Immunotherapy of lung cancer: An update [PDF]
In Germany lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated death in men. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation may enhance survival of patients suffering from lung cancer but the enhancement is typically transient and mostly absent with advanced ...

Staging non-small cell lung cancer [PDF]
Patients with newly diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) need accurate tumor staging in order to direct appropriate therapy and establish prognosis; the tumor is usually staged using the TNM system. The major imaging modalities currently used for staging this disease are thoracic computed tomography (CT) (including the adrenal glands) and whole

Gli1 mediates lung cancer cell proliferation and sonic hedgehog-dependent mesenchymal cell activation. [PDF]
Non-Small-Cell-Lung-Cancer (NSCLC) represents approximately 85% of all lung cancers and remains poorly understood. While signaling pathways operative during organ development, including Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) and associated Gli transcription factors (Gli1 ...
