Abstract

Debulking surgery and hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC) has been successfully used in the treatment of thoracic tumours. Few authors report on the feasibility of its use in patients with lung cancer and malignant pleural effusion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and results of debulking surgery and HITHOC in the treatment of selected patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and malignant pleural effusion. A systematic review was conducted in MEDLINE in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. The word search included: "hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy and/or HITHOC or hyperthermic intrapleural". Inclusion criteria were only those studies reporting a sufficient amount of data on HITHOC and surgery for lung cancer. Single case reports and review articles were excluded. 20 articles were selected as they related to the topic of HITHOC and lung cancer. Most were from China (n=8) and Japan (n=6). Only four out of the 20 articles had sufficient data for this review. In total, data for 21 patients were collected. Debulking surgery ranged from wedge resection to pneumonectomy and pleurectomy. Mean survival was 27 months and median survival was 18 months (range 1-74 months). 13 patients out of 21...Continue Reading

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.
