Intracellular presence of insulin and its phosphorylated receptor in non-small cell lung cancer.

29 Nov 2009 Insulin has been known for a long time to influence the growth and differentiation of normal and transformed cells. In order to delineate the role of insulin specifically in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we have now searched by ... Read more...

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...

Risk factor comparison and clinical analysis of early and late bronchopleural fistula after non-small cell lung cancer surgery.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: We retrospectively analyzed risk factors for late bronchopleural fistula after non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) surgery and compared with those for early bronchopleural fistula. METHODS: In all, 6,239 patients with NSCLC who underwent ... Read more...
