Abstract Genome-wide association studies have identified loci at 15q25 ( IREB2 ) and 4q22 FAM13A ), associated with lung cancer (LC) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of our research was to determine the SNPs LC severe/very severe COPD patients. We examined variants (rs2568494, rs2656069, rs10851906, rs13180) (rs1903003, rs7671167, rs2869967) among 1.141 participants (468 LC, 149 COPD, 524 smoking controls). frequency minor rs2568494 AA genotype, higher in vs controls P =...
Lymphadenectomy is an essential part of complete surgical operation for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This retrospective, multicenter cohort study aimed to identify factors that influence the lymphadenectomy quality. Data were obtained from Polish Lung Cancer Study Group Database. The primary endpoint was lobe-specific mediastinal lymph node dissection (L-SMLND). included 4271 patients who underwent VATS lobectomy stage IA NSCLC, operated between 2007 and 2022. L-SMLND performed in...
Pulmonary aspergilloma is a difficult therapeutic problem due to the low effectiveness of conservative treatment and high surgical morbidity.To analyze early late results for pulmonary aspergilloma.From 2005 2015, 49 patients were treated surgically aspergilloma. Symptoms occurred in 85.7% cases, including recurrent hemoptysis 53%. A history immunosuppressive therapy or chemotherapy was noted 24.5% patients. Complex diagnosed 79.6% cases.

Pneumonectomy is a high-risk radical resection procedure, with bronchopleural fistula (BPF) being its most challenging and severe complication. This study aimed to assess the surgical risk factors impact of bronchial stump closure technique on incidence BPF.This single-center, cross-sectional medical records 455 post-pneumonectomy patients operated due non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in 2006-2017. We analyzed following variables their influence occurrence BPF: operation side, techniques...

Indocyanine (ICG) objective by near-infrared camera...
Abstract Background High-energy devices allow better vessel sealing compared with monopolar electrocautery and could improve the outcomes of surgical operations. The objective study was to compare tissue dissection by LigaSure™ device that electrocoagulation for thoracoscopic lobectomy lymphadenectomy. Methods This pragmatic, parallel group, prospective randomized controlled trial funded Medtronic External Research Program (ISR-2016–10,756) registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03125798)....
Several genome-wide association studies (GWASs), have identified that FAM13A and IREB2 loci are associated with lung cancer, but the mechanisms by which these genes contribute to diseases susceptibility, especially in hypoxia context, unknown. Hypoxia has been as a major negative factor for tumor progression clinical observation. It suggested, lower oxygen tension, may modulate activity. However, role of response not explained. To precise response, we analyzed expression, cancer cells vitro...
<b>INTRODUCTION:</b> Radical surgical treatment is the preferred action for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Qualification should consider a risk associated effect of comorbidities on general condition patient. The aim this article was an attempt to identify factors postoperative complications in treated NSCLC, special focus coexisting diseases.<br><b>METHODS:</b> A total 400 NSCLC were included retrospective study. incidence (including major according European...
Thoracoscopic (VATS) lobectomy after a decade of criticism is nowadays considered as technically feasible, safe and oncologically proper operation. This approach has some advantages over conventional thoracotomy like: less postoperative pain, shorter hospitalization, fewer complications, better tolerance adjuvant chemotherapy with comparable long-term survival rate. The VATS now generally accepted an important alternative to open in early-stage lung cancer.In the study we analyzed all...
Patients over 75 years of age, who, in addition, often have already exceeded the average life expectancy, Polish population on 77.4 years, are subject discussion concerning most appropriate choice treatment.To analyse long-term results elderly patients age with lung cancer who underwent curative pulmonary resection.166 aged from to 85 (mean: ±2.3) operated for non-small cell (NSCLC) were included this study. There 128 (77%) men and 38 (23%) women.Lobectomy, including bilobectomy, was...
The standard of care for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is anatomical resection lymphadenectomy. This multicenter, retrospective, cohort study aimed to identify predictors 5-year survival in after thoracoscopic lobectomy stage IA NSCLC. included 1249 who underwent NSCLC between 17 April 2007, and December 28, 2016. rate equaled 77.7%. In the multivariate analysis, higher age (OR, 1.025, 95% CI: 1.002 1.048; p = 0.032), male sex 1.410, 1.109 1.793; 0.005),...
Minimally invasive video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) lobectomy has proved to be equal and in some aspects superior open T1 T2 lung cancers. Indications for VATS pneumonectomy however are still not clearly defined strictly limited. The minimally can undertaken patients with centrally located tumors without extended invasion of the large pulmonary vessels, chest wall, pericardium, mediastinal structures or proximal part main bronchus when sleeve resection is feasible (T2). We present a...
A case of laryngeal haemangioma in the subglottic region a six-month-old infant with severe dyspnea is described. The tumour was totally removed and tissue at site its insertion coagulated. Control examination after almost 7 years showed very good air passage through larynx normal functioning. results histopathologic are discussed detail.
Conversion of thoracoscopic lobectomy for lung cancer to thoracotomy can adversely affect short-term outcomes, but the impact on long-term outcomes is unknown. This study aimed identify risk factors conversion and determine influence treatment.This retrospective included 1002 consecutive patients with who underwent between 7 June 1999 17 July 2018. The groups without were compared in terms possible short- outcomes. survival was analysed by Kaplan-Meier method.Conversion done 105 (10.5%). On...
Klotho has been recently described as a carcinogenesis suppressor. Large cell neuroendocrine lung carcinoma (LCNEC) is rare, highly malignant neoplasm. In the light of increasing incidence tumours, biomarkers predicting survival are needed. We consider that might be one.We analysed records all patients diagnosed with LCNEC, atypical carcinoid and typical operated on in our institution between 2007 2015. Initially, we found 134 cases. Forty-six specimens were unattainable thus excluded from...
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake on integrated PET [PET/computed tomography (CT)] images and its correlation with nestin expression in a series neuroendocrine lung tumours. As incidence tumours is rising, tools predicting diagnosis, outcome assisting selection treatment regimens are needed. Patients methods We reviewed records patients diagnosed large cell carcinoma, atypical carcinoid typical who were operated upon our...

The NBN gene, also known as NBS1, is located on the chromosome band 8q21.3, and encodes a 754-amino acid-long protein named nibrin. This member of MRE1-RAD50-NBN nuclear complex, involved in numerous cell processes essential for maintaining genomic stability. Heterozygous variants including p.I171V, c.657del5 p.R215W, have been described risk factors development several malignancies. However, there no report regarding association these mutations with lung cancer thus far. Therefore, present...
