PET Counting Response Variability Depending on Tumor Location, Activity, and Patient Obesity: A Feasibility Study of Solitary Pulmonary Nodule Using Monte Carlo
(2019)We aim to investigate the counting response variations of positron emission tomography (PET) scanners with different detector configurations in the presence of solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN). Using experimentally validated ... -
Pleural effusion levels of dj-1 are increased in elderly lung cancer patients with malignant pleural effusions
(2015)Objectives: DJ-1 is a multifunctional protein implicated in redox dependent cell fate decisions. The aim of ourstudy was to determine the pleural fluid (PF) levels of DJ-1 in malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) secondary ... -
Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease and Nocturnin in squamous cell lung cancer: Prognostic value and impact on gene expression
(2015)Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide, mainly due to late diagnosis, poor prognosis and tumor heterogeneity. Thus, the need for biomarkers that will aid classification, treatment and ... -
A ross-sectional study for assessing perceived symptoms, depression and quality of life in advanced lung cancer patients
(2021)Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to assess the perceived symptoms, depression and quality of life (QoL) in advanced lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: The study was cross sectional and was ... -
Sestrin-2 is significantly increased in malignant pleural effusions due to lung cancer and is potentially secreted by pleural mesothelial cells
(2016)Objectives: Sestrin-2 (Sesn2) belongs to a family of highly conserved antioxidant proteins that were discovered as p53-inducible proteins and inhibits cell growth and proliferation. Our aim was to assess the levels of Sesn2 ... -
Survivin autoantibodies are not elevated in lung cancer when assayed controlling for specificity and smoking status
(2016)The high mortality rate in lung cancer is largely attributable to late diagnosis. Case-control studies suggest that autoantibodies to the survivin protein are potential biomarkers for early diagnosis. We tested the hypothesis ... -
Synchronous occurrence of breast cancer and pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma: Management and review of the literature
(2013)Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma (PSH) is a rare tumor accounting for 0.2-1% of all primary lung tumors. Simultaneous occurrence of PSH with breast cancer has very rarely been reported in the literature. We describe here a ... -
Transcriptional over-expression of chloride intracellular channels 3 and 4 in malignant pleural mesothelioma
(2015)Background Chloride Intracellular Channels (CLICs) are contributing to the regulation of multiple cellular functions. CLICs have been found over-expressed in several malignancies, and therefore they are currently considered ... -
Treatment Adherence in Patients with Lung Cancer from Prospects of Patients and Physicians
(2021)Purpose: Adherence to treatment can be defined as the degree to which a patient's behavior is consonant with medical or health advice he or she receive as part of his treatment regimen. The aim of this study was: 1) to ... -
Uniportal Versus Multiportal Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Lobectomy for Lung Cancer: An Updated Meta-analysis
(2021)Objective: We reviewed the available literature on patients with lung cancer undergoing either uniportal (UVATS) or multiport video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (MVATS). Methods: Original research studies that evaluated ... -
Updated meta-analysis of survival after extrapleural pneumonectomy versus pleurectomy/decortication in mesothelioma
(2019)Objective: We reviewed the available literature on patients with MPM undergoing either extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) or pleurectomy/decortication (P/D). Methods: Original research studies that evaluated long-term outcomes ...
