Single-cell network analysis demonstrates species-conserved functional roles for pulmonary alveolar cell types.
The extraordinary demands of managing the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted world's ability to care for patients with thoracic malignancies. As a hospital's population increases and hospital resources are depleted, provide surgical is progressively restricted, forcing surgeons prioritize among their cancer populations. Representatives from multiple cancer, surgical, research organizations have come together guide triaging malignancies as impact evolves each hospital.
Each year, the National Cancer Database (NCDB) collects and analyzes data used in reports to support research, quality measures, Commission on program accreditation. Because models generate these have been historically stable, year-to-year variances attributed changes within cancer rather than modeling. submissions 2020 were anticipated be significantly different from prior years because of COVID-19 pandemic. This study involved a validation analysis observed expected NCDB comparison with...
Importance Prior reports demonstrated that patients with cancer experienced worse outcomes from pandemic-related stressors and COVID-19 infection. Patients certain malignant neoplasms, such as high-risk gastrointestinal (HRGI) cancers, may have been particularly affected. Objective To evaluate disruptions in care among HRGI cancers during the pandemic, assessing for signs of long-term changes populations survival. Design, Setting, Participants This retrospective cohort study used data...
<h3>Importance</h3> Directing patients to safer hospitals for complex cancer surgery (regionalization) may prevent thousands of mortalities in the United States. <h3>Objective</h3> To understand potential individuals move hospitals: what would inspire them travel (motivators), challenges they face (barriers), and enable (facilitators). <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This nationally representative online survey study asked respondents consider at their local hospital or a specializing...
Cigarette smoke (CS) and viruses promote the inflammation remodeling associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The MAVS/RIG-I-like helicase (MAVS/RLH) pathway inflammasome-dependent innate immune pathways are important mediators of these responses. At baseline, MAVS/RLH is suppressed, this inhibition must be reversed to engender tissue effects; however, mechanisms that mediate activation repression have not been defined. In addition, regulation contribution signaling in...
Purpose The prevalence of minimally invasive lung cancer surgery using video-assisted thoracic (VATS) has increased dramatically over the past decade, yet recent studies have suggested that lymph node evaluation during VATS lobectomy is inadequate. We hypothesized approach to for stage I resulted in a longitudinal outcome was not inferior thoracotomy. Patients and Methods > 65 years age who had undergone between 2002 2013 were analyzed within Society Thoracic Surgeons General Surgery...
<h3>Background</h3> Checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) have revolutionized the treatment of metastatic melanoma, but most patients treated with CPI eventually develop progressive disease. Local therapy including surgery, ablation or stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) may be useful to manage limited progression, criteria for patient selection not been established. Previous work has suggested progression-free survival (PFS) after local is associated patterns immunotherapy failure, this studied in...
Lung cancer treatment has become increasingly dependent upon invasive biopsies to profile tumors for personalized therapy. Recently, tumor expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) gained interest as a potential predictor response immunotherapy. Circulating biomarkers present an opportunity profiling without the risks procedures. We characterized PD-L1 within populations nucleated cells in peripheral blood lung patients hopes expanding role liquid biopsy this setting.
