DNA methylation in thoracic neoplasms.
Cancer Letters, 2011Thoracic neoplasms, which include lung cancers, esophageal carcinoma, and thymic epithelial tumors, are the leading causes of tumor-related death and a major health concern worldwide. The development of neoplasms is a multistep process involving both genetic and epigenetic alterations.

Thoracic (Lung/Thymus) Neuroendocrine Neoplasms
, 2020Thoracic 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 ...

Mechanisms of Tumor Dissemination in Thoracic Neoplasms
, 2020The 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 ...

Radiation management of otherwise hopeless thoracic neoplasms.
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1954Every 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.

Endoscopically Assisted Decompression for Metastatic Thoracic Neoplasms
Spine, 1998The 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 ...

Thoracic Manifestations of Genitourinary Neoplasms and Treatment-related Complications
Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2019Genitourinary (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 ...

Thoracic neoplasms: imaging requirements for diagnosis and staging.
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 1984This article reviews the pathophysiology of thoracic neoplasms and discusses current imaging recommendations for diagnosis and staging of these tumors. Particular emphasis is given to primary lung cancers, which comprise a variety of tumors of differing histologic type and behavior.

Parasternal mediastinal exploration to evaluate resectability of thoracic neoplasms.
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1971Abstract 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.

Imaging features of thoracic metastases from gynecologic neoplasms.
RadioGraphics, 2014Gynecologic malignancies are a heterogeneous group of common neoplasms and represent the fourth most common malignancy in women. Thoracic metastases exhibit various imaging patterns and are usually associated with locally invasive primary neoplasms with intra-abdominal spread.
