Thoracic (Lung/Thymus) Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

2020
Thoracic neuroendocrine neoplasms include pulmonary and thymic tumors. Well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors are currently classified as typical and atypical carcinoids based on mitotic index and presence of necrosis. Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) accounts for 3% or less of all lung cancers, but its prevalence is destined to increase ...

RADIATION MANAGEMENT OF OTHERWISE HOPELESS THORACIC NEOPLASMS

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1954
Every physician should be aware of his responsibility if he declares a cancer patient hopeless and leaves him to his fate. The term "hopeless" implies the death sentence of the individual patient. In medical use this term can mean either incurability or no possibility of a favorable influence on the patient's condition, even of a palliative nature.

Preoperative nutrition-enhanced recovery after surgery protocol for thoracic neoplasms

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2021
Because patients' preoperative nutritional status influences the outcomes, we have used a preoperative nutrition program for surgical patients for a 2-year period and compared the results with those from a cohort treated in the previous 2 years.We retrospectively reviewed curative thoracic neoplasm resections from July 15, 2016, to July 15, 2018, in ...

Parasternal Mediastinal Exploration to Evaluate Resectability of Thoracic Neoplasms

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1971
Abstract One hundred thirty-four patients suspected or known to have intrathoracic malignancy underwent parasternal mediastinotomy to establish a tissue diagnosis or evaluate resectability. One hundred five procedures were performed on the right side, 29 on the left. Unresectable tumor extension was documented in 94 patients.

Radiofrequency Ablation for Thoracic Neoplasms

2005
Lung cancer statistics in the United States estimate that 171,900 people in 2003 were diagnosed with lung cancer (1). As the leading cause of cancer death among men and women in the United States, the associated death rate for lung cancer is 28%, surpassing mortality rates of colon, prostate, and breast cancer combined (1).

Thoracic Manifestations of Genitourinary Neoplasms and Treatment-related Complications

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2019
Genitourinary (GU) malignancies are a diverse group of common and uncommon neoplasms that may be associated with significant mortality. Metastases from GU neoplasms are frequently encountered in the chest, and virtually all thoracic structures can be involved.

Mechanisms of Tumor Dissemination in Thoracic Neoplasms

2020
The thorax, and the lung in particular, is a frequent site of primary malignancy from different cell lines and the most common target of metastatic spread due to the high density of the vascular bed. The histopathologic diagnosis of thoracic findings is straightforward in the vast majority of cases and supported by clinical history of a known primary ...

Soft Tissue Neoplasms Causing Apparent Venous Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2017
Venous thoracic outlet syndrome (vTOS) usually results from compression of the subclavian vein classically as a result of narrowing of the costoclavicular space. We report 2 rare cases of soft tissue neoplasms resulting in apparent vTOS. The first case is a 46-year-old female with a 2-year history of intermittent unilateral shoulder pain, who was ...

Molecularly Defined Thoracic Neoplasms

Advances in Anatomic Pathology
Molecularly defined neoplasms are increasingly recognized, given the broader application and performance of molecular studies. These studies allow us to better characterize these neoplasms and learn about their pathogenesis. In the thorax, molecularly defined neoplasms include tumors such as NUT carcinoma, SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumor (DUT),

Endoscopically Assisted Decompression for Metastatic Thoracic Neoplasms

Spine, 1998
The author describes a technique for complete vertebrectomy and anterior decompression followed by a formal anterior column reconstruction, using readily available endoscopic instruments. This procedure is indicated in patients with radioresistant metastasis of the thoracic spine, particularly those involving the upper thoracic segments where a ...
