Filter by:Lung carcinoma is the second most common cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. In Egypt, lung carcinoma ranks the 5th among all cancer cases. Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive neoplasm that arises from mesothelial cells which form the lining of the pleural. There is a strong resemblance between epithelioid mesothelioma and lung adenocarcinoma, some of peripheral lung adenocarcinoma or SCC present with pleurotropic growth like mesothelioma. Glypican-1 (GPC1) is one the six glypican family members. It is one of cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans that acts as a growth factor signaling. The aim of this study is to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of Glypican-1 in pleural epitheloid mesothelioma, lung adenocarcinoma and lung SCC
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in China. Despite advances in systemic therapy and improvement nonsurvival rates for patients with advanced lung cancer, morbidity and mortality remain high. Recently, many studies reported that patients with positive driving genes such as EGFR(epidermal growth factor receptor,EGFR), ALK(anaplastic lymphoma kinase,ALK), ROS1(c-ros oncogene 1 receptor,ROS1), BRAF (V-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1, BRAF)and so on have clearly targeted drugs, which bring survival benefits to patients. However, about half of patients still lack a clear driving gene target, which may have improved survival due to higher response rates to radiation therapy and other chemotherapy medications. Development of noninvasive imaging biomarkers such as CT (computed tomography,CT)and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging,MRI)may not only evaluate the response to therapy ,but also could predict the efficacy of drug therapy and whether the driving gene is positive or not, through analysing the relationship between clinical related data and imaging features to find the imaging characteristics for making clinical decisions, and, consequently, contribute to an improved prognosis.
This research study is studying a combination of drugs as a possible treatment for cancer that might have a specific change in the phosphatidylinositol-3 phosphate (PI3K) pathway.
