Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alan B. Weitberg, MD, and a panel of internationally recognized basic scientists and clinicians present a comprehensive discussion of lung cancer, including a practice-oriented review of its diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment. The contributors offer not only an understandable description of its molecular origins-an essential key to developing future therapies and preventive measures-but also rigorously discuss well-tested approaches, as well as those that are currently being evaluated for future use in both the laboratory and clinic. The book also elucidates the creation and effective deployment of treatment guidelines introduced by third party payers to improve clinical outcomes, even while lowering healthcare costs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As with other books in the Molecular Pathology Library Series, Molecular Pathology of Lung Cancer bridges the gap between the molecular specialist and the clinical practitioner, including the surgical pathologist who now has a key role in decisions regarding molecular targeted therapy for lung cancer. Molecular Pathology of Lung Cancer provides the latest information and current insights into the molecular basis for lung cancer, including precursor and preinvasive lesions, molecular diagnosis, molecular targeted therapy, molecular prognosis, molecular radiology and related fields for lung cancer generally and for the specific cell types. As many fundamental concepts about lung cancer have undergone revision in only the past few years, this book will likely be the first to comprehensively cover the new molecular pathology of lung cancer. It provides a foundation in this field for pathologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, thoracic surgeons, thoracic radiologists and their trainees, physician assistants, and nursing staff.

This book was released on 2024-01-25 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lung Carcinoma is the 2nd most common cancer worldwide, with more than 2.2 million cases recorded globally in the year 2020, as well as 1.8 million deaths. It is the most common cancer in men and the 2nd most common cancer in women, with an estimated lifetime risk of developing the disease of 1 in 15 for men and 1 in 17 for women. Whilst being the most prevalent cancer, it is important to note that smoking is the single biggest risk factor for developing Lung Cancer, with over 70% of cases being estimated to have been caused by tobacco smoke, and excessive smoking potentially leading to as much as a 25x increase in the likelihood of the disease developing. Mortality rates have been steadily dropping globally due to declining smoking rates, especially in younger generations who are now more aware of the potential dangers, but also because of the increasing advancements being made in our understanding of the disease. Improved screening methods mean many more cases are now caught earlier than they would otherwise have been, and our ever-advancing ranges of treatments can begin earlier than they could have previously. Recent advances in sequencing technology, computational approaches, and our biological understanding of lung cancer have revolutionized how we diagnose, prognosticate, and treat lung carcinoma. Genetic studies into this disease have revealed a plethora of information which can be used to combat the Cancer, such as novel biomarkers and gene signatures, as well as opening the door to more of a ‘personalized medicine’ approach.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Molecular genetic characterizations of human Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Submitted by TAI Lai-Shan For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in April 2005 Lung cancer is one of the most common malignances worldwide. It is the first leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in Hong Kong and in the United States. The prognosis of this prevalent disease is poor with a 5-year survival rate at about 15%. A better understanding of the underlying genetic molecular mechanism is crucial and essential for better diagnosis and therapeutic design purposes for cancer treatment. However, a clear molecular machinery for the carcinogenesis remains far to be discovered. In this study, genetic alterations of non-small cell lung cancer, the major subtype of human lung cancer were extensively studied. By using comparative genomic hybridization, the most frequent chromosomal regions showing DNA copy number gains and losses were investigated. Besides, patterns of chromosomal aberrations between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of NSCLC were compared and found to be greatly different. Results indicated that chromosome 3q gain is the most prominent difference between the two sub-groups (pAssociation between genetic alterations and clinical significance was also investigated. Interestingly, we found that gains of chromosomes 5p and 20q and loss of 5q were significantly correlated to the advanced stage of NSCLC (pWe have established three human primary NSCLC cell lines and performed cytogenetic and molecular characterization of each. All of the three cells exhibited complex numerical and structural chromosomal changes. EGFR and FGF3 were found to be highly amplified and expressed in one of the NSCLC cell line. By studying protein expression in large sample population profile, we were the first to report the expression of FGF3 in NSCLC. Here we demonstrated the use of in vitro cell model for cancer-related genes identification and provide tools for further mechanistic and functional study. Apart from chromosomal gains, regions with DNA loss are also the study targets in tumorgenesis investigation. According to our CGH results, chromosome 3p is the region found with the most frequent copy number loss. Here we reported the use of SNP markers for high resolution 3p allelic loss study using Sequenom platform. Our data serve the basis for putative tumor suppressor genes identification in the future.

Download or read book The Genetics of Cancer written by B.A. Ponder and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been recognized for almost 200 years that certain families seem to inherit cancer. It is only in the past decade, however, that molecular genetics and epidemiology have combined to define the role of inheritance in cancer more clearly, and to identify some of the genes involved. The causative genes can be tracked through cancer-prone families via genetic linkage and positional cloning. Several of the genes discovered have subsequently been proved to play critical roles in normal growth and development. There are also implications for the families themselves in terms of genetic testing with its attendant dilemmas, if it is not clear that useful action will result. The chapters in The Genetics of Cancer illustrate what has already been achieved and take a critical look at the future directions of this research and its potential clinical applications.
