Lung cancer

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among men and women in the United States with 170,000 deaths per year. This exceeds the sum of the next three leading causes of death due to cancer: breast, colon, and prostate. There are over 1 million deaths worldwide due to lung cancer, making it truly an epidemic. Fewer than 15% achieve a 5-yr survival. The vast majority (85%) present with advanced disease, although stage I patients may have a 5-yr survival approaching 70% (1).

Carcinoma of the lung is the most common cause of cancer-related death in men and women. Prognosis correlates strongly with stage of disease at presentation and to some degree with the histological subtype of the tumor. Histological classifications of lung cancer were somewhat arbitrary and a matter of convenience. However, multiple lines of differentiation are often found within a single tumor, if it is sufficiently sampled.

Lung cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer deaths in both men and women in the U.S. (1). Although tobacco smoking is accepted as the number one cause of this devastating disease, our understanding of the acquired genetic changes leading to lung cancer is still rudimentary. Lung cancer is classifi ed into two major clinic-pathological groups, small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) (2). Squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma are the major histologic types of NSCLC....

Primary lung cancer is one of the most common malignant diseases. The expression of Ciz1b appears to be limited to tumor cells, suggesting that this variant can be used as a marker for the cancer. This study is to evaluate the expression and diagnostic role of Ciz1b in lung cancer patients.

Cordycepin, an active ingredient in the insect fungus Cordyceps militaris, is in a category of compounds that exhibit significant therapeutic activity. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of cordycepin on cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle in A549 human lung cancer cells.

Non - small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the largest subgroup of lung cancers, responsible for about 80% of all lung cancers. Targeted cancer therapy has opened a new window into treatment of non - small cell lung cancer. This therapy is very effective for patients who have EGFR (Epidermal growth factor receptor) activating mutations, primarily located in the tyrosine kinase domain in the form of a base - pair deletion at exon 19 (LREA deletions, accounting for about 54%) or a point mutation at exon 21 (L858R, accounting for about 43%).

Mutations in the tyrosine kinase (TK) domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene impact a patient’s response to targeted therapy in non - small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Detection of these mutations plays an important role in therapeutic decision - making in NSCLC. Methods: 181 paraffin - embedded tumor tissues from grade IIIB/IV NSCLC patients were screened for mutations in exons 18 to 21 of the EGFR gene, using both the direct sequencing and the Scorpion ARMS method.

N-myc downstream regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) plays a variety of roles in human cancers. Our previous studies showed that NDRG1 expression is elevated in non-small cell lung cancer and contributes to cancer growth. However, its function in apoptosis and chemoresistance in malignant tumors, including lung cancer, is not yet fully understood.
