Open AccessCase report: recurrent metastatic breast cancer in internal mammary dissection bed discovered at the time of coronary bypass
Many patients who undergo coronary artery bypass surgery have a prior history of cancer and potentially chest radiation which is a known risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis. Prior radiation increases fibr...

Chapter
Lung Cancer Staging and Prognosis
The seventh edition of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) TNM staging system was developed by the International Association for the Staging of Lung Cancer (IASLC) Lung Cancer Staging Project by a coordinat...

Measurement of genome-wide DNA methylation predicts survival benefits from chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer
Novel molecular predictive biomarkers for chemotherapy have been screened and validated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there was no report on the correlation of genome-wide DNA methylation wit...

The role of cancer stem cells in neoplasia of the lung: past, present and future
Through the identification and subsequent targeting of an exquisitely unique and phenotypically defined cancer stem-cell population exhibiting discrete therapeutic vulnerabilities (a potential source of tumor ...

Inhibition of Wnt16 in human acute lymphoblastoid leukemia cells containing the t(1;19) translocation induces apoptosis
The Wnt family of secreted glycoproteins is widely involved in cell proliferation, differentiation and oncogenesis. Many Wnt signaling genes are upregulated and activated in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Less ...

Blockade of Wnt-1 signaling induces apoptosis in human colorectal cancer cells containing downstream mutations
Aberrant Wnt signaling, mainly through mutations of APC and in some cases of CTNNB1 or AXIN2, has been found in the majority of colorectal cancers. Recently, frequent promoter hypermethylation was identified to c...

Expression of the secreted frizzled-related protein gene family is downregulated in human mesothelioma
Secreted frizzled-related proteins (sFRPs) comprise a family of five secreted glycoproteins that antagonize Wnt signaling. Aberrant activation and upregulation of the Wnt pathway is a key feature of many cance...

Inhibition of Wnt-2-mediated signaling induces programmed cell death in non-small-cell lung cancer cells
In this report, we have demonstrated that Wnt-2 protein is overexpressed in freshly resected human non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues. We have also developed a monoclonal antibody against the N-terminu...

Matrix Metalloproteinase Expression in Lung Cancer
The importance of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the growth and spread of solid tumors has been known for over a decade (1,2). However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate their expression and the elucida...
