Abstract Background The RAS family protooncogenes, including KRAS , NRAS and HRAS encode proteins responsible for the regulation of growth, differentiation survival many cell types. oncogene mutations are well defined, however, clinical significance expressions in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still uncertain. Methods A total 39 whole blood samples NSCLC (the investigated group), collected at three points time: time diagnosis, 100 days 1 year after surgery as 35 tissue obtained...

In the course of lung cancer, normal cells are transformed into cancerous ones, and changes occur in microenvironment, including extracellular matrix (ECM), which is not only a scaffold for cells, but also reservoir cytokines, chemokines growth factors. Metalloproteinases (MMPs) among elements that enable ECM remodeling. The publication focuses on problem gene expression MMP2, MMP9 tissue inhibitor metalloproteinases (TIMP1) blood NSCLC patients during therapy (one year after surgical...
One of the most important prognostic factors in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a condition with high mortality rate, is presence mediastinal lymph node metastases alongside distant metastases. The aim this study was to evaluate value selected parameters N2 stage NSCLC special focus on ratio (LNR).
The analysis concerned the comparison of expression membrane type matrix metalloproteinases genes in blood and tissue NSCLC patients during course disease to control group. Blood neoplastic taken from 45 diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer was a research material. level MMP14, MMP15, MMP16 MMP24 evaluated by qPCR results were compared controls. MMP14 before tumor removal surgery 100 days after lower than Interestingly, one year levels these identical those This suggests that...

We aimed to investigate the clinical significance of left lower paratracheal nodes (#4L) and their impact on survival in patients with left-sided lung cancer.This was a retrospective analysis prospective data. The study included 5369 who underwent surgery between 2005 2015. Six hundred fifty-nine #4L dissection (4LND+), 4710 did not (4LND-). Propensity score matching used minimize analytic error (659 vs 659).The percentage metastasis increased tumour size. Between pT2a pT2b, it nearly...
Histopathologic differentiation between the stages of Barrett's carcinogenesis is often challenging. Liver-intestine (LI)-cadherin, an intestine-specific marker, involved in intestinal metaplasia development gastric and colon cancers could be value diagnosis differentiation.To examine expression LI-cadherin sequence to evaluate its association with clinicopathological data.LI-cadherin was immunohistologically investigated, by use anti-CDH17 antibody, mucosa (GM) biopsies taken from cardia (n...
