Abstract

Appropriate selection for surgery is particularly important in T4 non-small cell lung cancer patients. In clinical settings, patients those who are positive for T4 criteria occasionally are also positive for T3 factors which are independently defined from original T4 or even have multiple T4 factors. Significance of these factors on prognosis is still unknown. We retrospectively reviewed clinicopathorogical data of 113 patients with T4 non-small cell lung cancer those who underwent surgery between 1990 and 2015 in Tohoku University Hospital. Significance on prognosis of single or multiple T4 factors and with or without independent T3 factors were statistically analyzed. No significant difference was seen in the 5-year survival rate between patients with single (35.6%) and multiple (31.4%) T4 factors (P = 0.94), but the rate was significantly lower when patients also had independent T3 factors (19.6%) compared with when they did not (42.5%) (P = 0.011). The 5-year survival rate was particularly lower among patients with invasion of the chest wall or parietal pleura (8.1%) than in those without (40.6%) (P = 0.0052). Invasion of the chest wall or parietal pleura is poor prognostic factors in T4 non-small cell lung cancer patients.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
