Detection of epidermal growth factor receptor mutations in plasma by mutant-enriched PCR assay for prediction of the response to gefitinib in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer.

13 Nov 2009 The high frequency of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in tyrosine kinase inhibitor-responsive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases is now well established, highlighting the predictive value of activating EGFR mutations in ... Read more...

The prognostic impact of main bronchial lymph node involvement in non-small cell lung carcinoma: suggestions for a modification of the staging system.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The therapeutic strategies for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) with N1 and N2 disease differ remarkably. Debate exists about the definition of the borderline between N1 and N2 stations. This study evaluated the prognostic effect of ... Read more...

Carbon-ion beam irradiation effectively suppresses migration and invasion of human non-small-cell lung cancer cells.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: Control of cancer metastasis is one of the most important issues in cancer treatment. We previously demonstrated that carbon particle irradiation suppresses the metastatic potential of cancer cells, and many studies have reported that ... Read more...
