UNDERSTANDING THE PATIENT JOURNEY TO DIAGNOSIS OF LUNG CANCER - TRƯỜNG ĐẠI HỌC HỒNG ĐỨC

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Early diagnosis and treatment is a key factor in reducing mortality and improving patient outcomes. To achieve this, it is important to understand the diagnostic pathways of cancer patients.

SI is a rare condition with concomitant pancreatic cancer being even rarer. Despite the rarity, pancreaticoduodenc- tomy can be safely and successfully performed in these patients who present with rescectable disease provided careful consideration to the anatomy is made [[r]

Case presentation
A 74 year-old Caucasian female never-smoker initially presented with a pleural effusion and was diagnosed with invasive adenocarcinoma following a pleural biopsy. The pleural biopsy performed revealed dense fibrous tis- sue with invasive adenocarcinoma with mucin produc- t[r]

Due to the steadily increasing number of cancer patients worldwide the early diagnosis and treatment of cancer is a major field of research. The diagnosis of cancer is mostly performed by an experienced pathologist via the visual inspection of histo-pathological stained tissue sections.

Little is known about sex-specific trends in lung cancer mortality and years of potential life lost (YPLL) attributable to lung cancer over more than five decades. The aim of the present study was to describe mortality and YPLL due to lung cancer over 61 years of observation in a country with a high[r]

Statistical analysis
The main purpose for this analysis was to estimate the relative risk of lung cancer in relation to cotton dust and wool dust exposure. The availability of two studies, with two control groups among males in Study 1[r]

Despite many prospective and retrospective studies about the association of dietary habit and lung cancer, the topic still remains controversial. So, this study aims to investigate the association of lung cancer with dietary factors.

Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) has been found to be related to malignant tumors; the aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between MMP2 expression in lung cancer tissues and clinical parameters of lung cancer.

Another limitation of the database is that detailed vital status information is not available on all patients. Since patient medical charts are not linked to external sources, if the patient expires outside of our institu- tion, our system is not awar[r]

There is a lack of firm knowledge regarding sexual problems and fertility-related distress in young adults following a diagnosis with cancer. Establishing such understanding is essential to identify patients in need of specific support and to develop cancer care accordingly.

proceedings, no requirement exists that the physician be informed of the nature of the charges, know the name of the COMPLAINANT , or participate in selecting any documents. However, a license to practice medicine cannot be revoked without DU[r]

EMT. Instead, our cells expressing SOX2 showed a lower proliferative rate, were less adherent and displayed a more spheroid growth pattern compared to wild type cells. These are all characteristics of CSCs. CSCs possess stem cell-like features, like the ability of self-[r]

Diagnosis and treatment decisions in cancer increasingly depend on a detailed analysis of the mutational status of a patient’s genome. This analysis relies on previously published information regarding the association of variations to disease progression and possible interventions.

Lower lung cancer survival rates in Britain and Denmark compared with surrounding countries may, in part, be due to late diagnosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of direct access to low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) from general practice in early lung cancer detection on time to[r]

uptake is necessary. Furthermore, for applications in radiotherapy, the efficient image fusion proposed in this article may be of key interest. Indeed, when considering day-to-day clinical use, this algorithm appears user-friendly and allows physicians to gain a lot
