Pulmonary toxocariasis masquerading as metastatic tumor nodules in a child with osteosarcoma.

13 Dec 2009 A 14-year-old male, who completed chemotherapy following limb salvage surgery for osteosarcoma approximately 2 years ago, was seen for routine follow-up. A CT scan revealed new scattered multifocal nodular lesions. An ultrasonography-guided ... Read more...

Biomarkers of lung-related diseases: current knowledge by proteomic approaches.

29 Nov 2009 The lung epithelial surface is one of the vital barriers or sensors in the body responding to the external atmosphere and thereby always subjecting to direct toxicological exposure, stress, stimulus, or infection. Due to its relatively higher ... Read more...

Antagonism of chemokine receptor CXCR3 inhibits osteosarcoma metastasis to lungs.

29 Nov 2009 Metastasis continues to be the leading cause of mortality for patients with cancer. Several years ago, it became clear that chemokines and their receptors could control the tumor progress. CXCR3 has now been identified in many cancers including ... Read more...
