16 Οκτ 2019 · Lung cancer or bronchogenic carcinoma refers to tumors originating in the lung parenchyma or within the bronchi. It is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Since 1987, lung cancer has been responsible for more deaths in women than breast cancer.
Lung cancer classification strives to correlate tumor cell morphology with tumor biological characteristics, thus facilitating therapeutic decision-making and effective prognostic outcome prediction in the era of personalized medicine.
These are key events in lung cancer pathogenesis, especially if they occur in critical oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes. Lung cancer pathogenesis is also affected by a genetic component: it relates to the host susceptibility to lung cancer, with or without exposure to carcinogens.
Worldwide, lung cancer is the most common cause of major cancer incidence and mortality in men, whereas in women it is the third most common cause of cancer incidence and the second most common cause of cancer mortality.1 In 2010 the American Cancer Society estimated that lung cancer would account for more than 222,520 new cases in the United St...
EGFR alterations in lung cancer. EGFR Mutations. EGFR is located at chromosome 7p11.2, spans about 200 kb, and contains 28 exons. The gene encodes a protein of 464 amino acids.49,50 EGFR is...
Most pleural (pericardial) effusions with lung cancer are due to tumour. In a few patients, however, multiple microscopic examinations of pleural (pericardial) fluid are negative for tumour, and the fluid is non-bloody and is not an exudate.
