Oncology/pulmonology. Large-cell lung carcinoma ( LCLC ), or large-cell carcinoma ( LCC) in short, is a heterogeneous group of undifferentiated malignant neoplasms that lack the cytologic and architectural features of small cell carcinoma and glandular or squamous differentiation. [1] LCC is categorized as a type of NSCLC ( non-small-cell lung ...
Treatment of lung cancer refers to the use of medical therapies, such as surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, percutaneous ablation, and palliative care, alone or in combination, in an attempt to cure or lessen the adverse impact of malignant neoplasms originating in lung tissue.
Lung transplants for cancer patients have historically been reserved for people with earlier stages of cancer and involved replacing one lung at a time. The technique is risky.
Specialty. Oncology. Squamous-cell carcinoma ( SCC) of the lung is a histologic type of non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). It is the second most prevalent type of lung cancer after lung adenocarcinoma and it originates in the bronchi. Its tumor cells are characterized by a squamous appearance, similar to the one observed in epidermal cells.
Lung cancer. Lung cancer, also known as lung carcinoma, is a malignant tumor that begins in the lung. Lung cancer is caused by genetic damage to the DNA of cells in the airways, often caused by cigarette smoking or inhaling damaging chemicals. Damaged airway cells gain the ability to multiply unchecked, causing the growth of a tumor.
ALK positive lung cancer is a primary malignant lung tumor whose cells contain a characteristic abnormal configuration of DNA wherein, most frequently, the echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 ( EML4) gene is fused to the anaplastic lymphoma kinase ( ALK) gene. Less frequently, there will be novel translocation partners for the ALK ...
For me, it only took four years, two hospitalizations, six lung collapses, major surgery and my own self-advocacy. More importantly, my lung has not collapsed in three years. No one knows you but you.
CimaVax is an active vaccine with which patients are immunized with epidermal growth factor (EGF), thus raising antibodies targeting EGF itself. The EGF is chemically linked to the Neisseria meningitidis outer protein P64k for immunogenicity; [2] Montanide ISA 51 is used as an adjuvant to potentiate the immune response.
However, as SCL are considered particularly aggressive non-small cell lung cancers, some experts recommend particularly aggressive treatment approach to these tumors. Little is known about the effects of EGFR inhibitors in SC, although some evidence suggests that these tumors are not likely to be highly responsive. Prognosis
