Abstract

This retrospective study was based on 237 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and nodal N2 disease. All accessible mediastinal lymph nodes (LN) were removed and classified according to their anatomical location in LN chains. The pulmonary resections performed were: pneumonectomy (n = 187), lobectomy (n = 44) and segmentectomy (n = 4). There was solitary nodal chain involvement by metastasis in 141 cases, two chains in 72 cases and three or more in 24; "skip" metastases were present in 26.6%. N2 disease would have been missed in 45 cases of single chain involvement (31.9%) if routine removal of mediastinal nodes had not been performed. The overall 5-year survival rate was 18.8%. Survival was not influenced by site, size or extension (T) of tumor, tumor histology or the presence of vascular invasion. The prognosis was significantly worsened by the presence of microscopic residual disease (30 cases) and of satellite nodules (23 cases). Survival was significantly improved when metastases involved a single LN chain (26.3 versus 8.3%, P = 0.0003). The location and number of involved nodes in the chain, "skip" metastases and the presence of extracapsular spread of carcinoma did not influence the prognosis. Routine mediast...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.
