2-Deoxy-glucose Enhances the Effect of Cisplatin and Pemetrexed in Reducing Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Cell Proliferation but Not Spheroid Growth
(2019)Background/Aim: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a therapy-resistant neoplasm of the pleura. Standard chemotherapy consists of a combination of cisplatin (CPDD) and pemetrexed (PEM). The aim of this study was to ... -
Anti-invasive effects of CXCR4 and FAK inhibitors in non-small cell lung carcinomas with mutually inactivated p53 and PTEN tumor suppressors
(2017)Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. At the time of diagnosis, a large percentage of NSCLC patients have already developed metastasis, responsible for extremely high mortality rates. ... -
Cancer's smart bombs: Tumor-derived exosomes target lung epithelial cells triggering pre-metastatic niche formation
(2017)[No abstract available] -
Carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 serum levels in non-small cell lung cancer
(2017)Purpose: Τo investigate the potential diagnostic and prognostic role of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) serum levels in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: One hundred ... -
Cell and extracellular matrix interaction models in benign mesothelial and malignant pleural mesothelioma cells in 2D and 3D in-vitro
(2021)Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive tumour that grows in the pleural cavity. MPM spheroids released in the pleural fluid can form new tumour foci. Cell–cell, cell–extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions ... -
Comparison of targeted and untargeted approaches in breath analysis for the discrimination of lung cancer from benign pulmonary diseases and healthy persons
(2021)The aim of the present study was to compare the efficiency of targeted and untargeted breath analysis in the discrimination of lung cancer (Ca+) patients from healthy people (HC) and patients with benign pulmonary diseases ... -
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition in non small-cell lung cancer
(2017)Background/Aim: Lung cancer is the first cause of cancer related deaths in both males and females. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a reversible process by which epithelial cells transform to mesenchymal stem ... -
Expression of cytotoxic proteins in peripheral T-cell and natural killer-cell (NK) lymphomas: Association with extranodal site, NK or Tγδ phenotype, anaplastic morphology and CD30 expression
(2000)Most peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL) express the αβ T-cell receptor (TCR) whereas rare PTCL express the γδ TCR. Most if not all γδ PTCL are extranodal lymphomas and among them, hepatosplenic γδ PTCL constitute a distinct ... -
High resolution computed tomography findings on the lung of early breast-cancer patients treated by postoperative breast irradiation with a hypofractionated radiotherapy schedule
(2005)BACKGROUND: Hypofractionated breast radiotherapy (RT), although convenient for patients and health care systems, could have a negative impact on normal tissues such as lung. AIM: To evaluate radiation-induced lung toxicity ... -
IFNs-signaling effects on lung cancer: an up-to-date pathways-specific review
(2017)IFNs have found important applications in clinical medicine, including the treatment of lung malignancies. The biological effect of the IFN-receptor signaling is regulated essentially by three factors: the expression profile ... -
In silico transcriptomic analysis of wound-healing-associated genes in malignant pleural mesothelioma
(2019)Background and objectives: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a devastating malignancy with poor prognosis. Reliable biomarkers for MPM diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis are needed. The aim of this study was to ... -
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) expression in lung cancer
(2007)Background: The expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) by tumor cells has been considered as a major tumor immune escape mechanism. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of IDO in lung cancer ... -
Influence of AQP1 on cell adhesion, migration, and tumor sphere formation in malignant pleural mesothelioma is substratum-and histological-type dependent
(2016)Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive cancer. MPM cells express aquaporin-1 (AQP1) that in other cancers has been shown to participate in the tumor metastasis processes. However, in MPM patients AQP1 ... -
Lapatinib with whole brain radiotherapy in patients with brain metastases from breast and non-small cell lung cancer: a phase II study of the Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group (HeCOG)
(2017)Small molecules, mainly tyrosine kinase inhibitors, are currently used in various malignancies. Lapatinib, a dual inhibitor of EGFR/HER2 tyrosine kinases, has demonstrated effectiveness in brain metastases from HER2-overexpressing ... -
Lung cancer in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. A retrospective multicenter study in Greece
(2020)Background: Abundant evidence supports an association between Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and lung cancer development. Data on diagnosis and management of patients with IPF and lung cancer are still scarce. Patients ... -
PD-1 and PD-L1 as immunotherapy targets and biomarkers in non-small cell lung cancer
(2019)The integration of immunotherapeutic agents in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has revolutionized the approach of the prevalent type of lung cancer. Although PD-1 and its ligands (PD-L1 and PD-L2) are ... -
Percutaneous computed tomography-guided localization of pulmonary nodules with hook wire prior to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery
