[Title] Coexistence of primary adenocarcinoma of the lung and Tsukamurella infection: a case report and review of the literature.

INTRODUCTION: A major diagnostic challenge in the evaluation of a cavitary lung lesion is to distinguish between infectious and malignant etiologies.

However, despite clinical improvement with antibiotic therapy targeted to the organism, concomitant discovery of a papillary thyroid carcinoma led to a needle biopsy of the cavitary lesion, which showed evidence of primary lung adenocarcinoma.

CONCLUSION: This is the first description of Tsukamurella infection in the setting of primary lung carcinoma.

[Title] Morphologic features of adenocarcinoma of the lung predictive of response to the epidermal growth factor receptor kinase inhibitors erlotinib and gefitinib.

CONTEXT: A subset of lung adenocarcinomas appears preferentially sensitive to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

OBJECTIVES: To describe the morphology of adenocarcinomas responsive to TKIs, compare it to tumors in nonresponding patients, and correlate findings with EGFR mutations, gene copy number, and protein expression.

Adenocarcinoma subtypes and morphologic features were defined in histologic and cytologic material.

RESULTS: Tumors from TKI responders tended to be better-differentiated adenocarcinomas with bronchioloalveolar carcinoma components.

Using World Health Organization criteria, all tumors in both groups other than pure bronchioloalveolar carcinomas would be classified as adenocarcinomas, mixed subtype, thereby obscuring some of these distinctions.

[Title] Mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung in association with congenital pulmonary airway malformation.

Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a rare developmental abnormality of the lung that has been associated with the presence of rhabdomyosarcoma, pleuropulmonary blastoma, and most commonly bronchioalveolar carcinoma (BAC) of the lung.

Here, we report the case of an 8-year-old patient who developed KRAS mutation positive stage IV mucinous adenocarcinoma of the lung in association with CPAM.

[Title] [A case of lung adenocarcinoma of the lung with disappearance of brain metastasis by re-treatment with gefitinib].

BACKGROUND: Tumor response rate to gefitinib by previously treated patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer was approximately 20%.

CASE: A 40-year-old man was given a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of lung (c-T2N3M1).

Reduction of the primary tumor, brain metastasis, pulmonary metastasis and liver metastasis was seen.

Recurrence of pulmonary metastasis and liver metastasis was discovered 8 months after treatment with gefitinib.

However, primary tumor, pulmonary metastasis and liver metastasis progressed.

[Title] A single institution-based retrospective study of surgically treated bronchioloalveolar adenocarcinoma of the lung: clinicopathologic analysis, molecular features, and possible pitfalls in routine practice.

METHODS: Retrospective analysis of resected BAC reclassified according to the 2004 World Health Organization classification of lung tumors.

Locally advanced nonmucinous BAC has a poor prognosis: the diagnosis of nonmucinous BAC in large tumors should be interpreted with caution given the possible presence of invasive areas in incompletely sampled tumor.

[Title] Sex difference in the influence of smoking status on the responsiveness to gefitinib monotherapy in adenocarcinoma of the lung: Okayama Lung Cancer Study Group experience.

BACKGROUND: Gefitinib is effective in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

Smoking status also affects the responsiveness to gefitinib, but it has not been fully evaluated whether a sex difference exists in the influence of smoking on the efficacy of gefitinib in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

METHODS: We reviewed the clinical records of 260 Japanese patients with lung adenocarcinoma who received gefitinib therapy (250 mg/day), and whose smoking status was known.

CONCLUSIONS: In male patients with lung adenocarcinoma, cumulative smoking significantly affected response and survival following gefitinib treatment, while in female patients, responsiveness to gefitinib was independent of smoking status.

[Title] EGFR gene copy number in adenocarcinoma of the lung by FISH analysis: investigation of significantly related factors on CT, FDG-PET, and histopathology.

However, imaging features related to EGFR gene copy number status in adenocarcinoma are still unknown.

We therefore retrospectively analyzed CT, FDG-PET, and histopathologic slides of surgical resected lung adenocarcinoma in 132 patients.

A high proportion of GGO, small tumor diameter on CT, and a well-differentiated histopathology were more frequent in FISH-negative adenocarcinomas.

[Title] [A case of fat embolism syndrome associated with pathological femoral fracture caused by metastatic adenocarcinoma of the lung].

A 76-year-old woman with multiple bone metastases from lung adenocarcinoma was admitted due to a pathological femoral fracture.

Computed tomography of the chest revealed diffuse ground glass opacities in both lungs, and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed multiple acute infarctions.

Fat embolism syndrome should be considered as a differential diagnosis if consciousness disturbance and respiratory failure occur in patients with metastatic bone carcinoma and pathological long bone fractures.

[Title] The use of placental S100 (S100P), GATA3 and napsin A in the differential diagnosis of primary adenocarcinoma of the bladder and bladder metastasis from adenocarcinoma of the lung.

Primary bladder adenocarcinoma accounts for 0.5-2% of all malignant bladder tumours.

Herein, we describe an adenocarcinoma deeply infiltrating the bladder wall, with no morphologic features of transitional cell carcinoma, in a patient with a previous diagnosis of primary lung adenocarcinoma, mixed subtype.

In this case, the use of a limited immunohistochemical panel including napsin A, a recently described highly sensitive marker for lung adenocarcinoma, GATA3 and S100P, two novel markers of urothelial differentiation, was of crucial importance in differentiating between lung adenocarcinoma metastatic to the bladder and primary bladder adenocarcinoma.

[Title] Radioiodine uptake by metastatic nonthyroidal adenocarcinoma of the lung in a patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma.

A 49-year-old woman with a history of a hysterectomy for carcinoma of the cervix and papillary thyroid carcinoma showed multiple pulmonary metastases on chest radiography.

These lesions were found to be metastatic cervical adenocarcinoma.

The radioiodine uptake by the metastatic cervical adenocarcinoma of the lungs occurred in the presence of normal thyroid imaging in a patient with a thyroid nodule and papillary thyroid carcinoma.

[Title] Small-cell carcinoma with an epidermal growth factor receptor mutation in a never-smoker with gefitinib-responsive adenocarcinoma of the lung.

Activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene are extremely rare in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Here, we present a case of an EGFR-mutant gefitinib-responsive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) of adenocarcinoma histology occurring in a never-smoker followed by subsequent diagnosis of metastatic SCLC carrying an EGFR mutation.

Epidermal growth factor receptor mutation analysis revealed that the exon 21 L858R activating mutation was present in both the original lung adenocarcinoma and the metastatic SCLC.

[Title] Psychosocial impact of cancer-related symptoms among patients with lung cancer.

: 6621 Background: Patients with lung cancer may experience adverse physical symptoms due to cancer, cancer treatment, or comorbid medical conditions.

These cancer-related symptoms (CRS) may be associated with functional impairment (FI), and may affect psychosocial functioning.

METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of self reported symptom burden with the 38-item Patient Care Monitor survey (PCM), collected as part of routine clinical care in 1,384 lung cancer patients identified by ICD-9 codes at 8 community oncology practices in the US.

Histological type was 36% adenocarcinoma, 18% squamous cell, 37% unspecified, and 9% other.

Depressive disorder was recorded for < 5% of patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Cancer related symptoms are associated with FI and with psychosocial outcomes in lung cancer patients.

[Title] Phase I dose-escalation study of thoracic radiotherapy in combination with gefitinib in patients with IIIB/IV non-small cell lung cancer (NCT00497250).

However, a higher incidence of interstitial lung disease, sometimes lethal, is also found.

RESULTS: Since June 2007, 2 cohorts, a total of 16 patients, were enrolled and treated: 8 stage IIIB and 8 stage IV; 2 squamous-cell carcinoma and 14 adenocarcinoma; 8 smokers and 8 nonsmokers.

Most of the failure patterns were out-of-field (11/13) and the most common distant metastasis organ was the lungs.

CONCLUSIONS: Thoracic radiotherapy up to 56 Gy concurrent with gefitinib 250 mg daily was well tolerated and clinically active in this group of pretreated Chinese NSCLC patients, including nonsmokers with adenocarcinoma.

[Title] Further evaluation of ¹¹C-PD153035 as a molecular imaging probe for the assessment of the epidermal growth factor receptor status in non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Our pilot study has demonstrated that ¹¹C-PD153035, a highly EGFR selective tracer for positron emission tomography (PET), accumulated in tumor mass of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the tracer uptake correlated with EGFR expression.

METHODS: Fourteen patients (45-71y, mean 59.2±9.2 y, Male: Female = 8:6, squamous carcinoma: adenocarcinoma = 9:5) with pathologically proved NSCLC were examined with PET using ¹¹C-PD153035 one week before surgery.

[Title] Low expression of reversion-inducing cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifs (RECK) indicates a shorter survival after resection in patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung.

In this study, using quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), we have analysed RECK expression levels in resected non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue and compared these data with the clinicopathological features of these patients to investigate the role of RECK in NSCLC.

Tissue samples of primary lung cancers were obtained from a total of 83 patients [46 with adenocarcinomas (ADC) and 37 with squamous cell carcinomas (SCC)] who underwent curative resection.

The samples were taken from 83 tumours and 20 matched normal lung tissue samples as controls.

In conclusion, our study suggests that suppression of RECK expression is involved in the progression of ADC of the lung and that RECK expression in resected ADC of the lung is a favorable predictor of patients' prognosis.

[Title] [Primary clear cell adenocarcinoma of the lung with endobronchial polypoid growth: report of a case].

Clear cell adenocarcinoma with endobronchial polypoid growth of the lung is extremely rare.

A 65-year-old male with hemosputum was found to have an abnormal shadow in the hilum of the left lung.

Computed tomography of the chest revealed that a heterogeneous mass occupied the lumen extending outside the upper lobe bronchus of the left lung.

By biopsy, the tumor was determined to be adenocarcinoma.

Microscopically, most of the tumor was composed of large clear cells with partial glandular formation, indicating the tumor to be adenocarcinoma Lymph node metastasis was seen in #5 and #12u.

The lung cancer was diagnosed as clear cell adenocarcinoma with endobronchial polypoid growth.

[Title] Molecular changes of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and KRAS and their impact on the clinical outcomes in surgically resected adenocarcinoma of the lung.

Recent studies have reported that clinical response to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors is associated with somatic changes of EGFR in the advanced stage of lung cancer.

However, there is no clear data demonstrating whether such molecular changes of EGFR per se can affect the clinical outcome of early stage cancer after surgical resection.

DNA mutations of EGFR and KRAS were investigated in 71 adenocarcinoma patients who received surgical resection.

EGFR mutation was more frequently found in cases with BAC features (13/22 (59.1%):13/49 (26.5%); p=0.008) and in non-smokers (19/41 (46.3%):7/30 (23.3%); p=0.047).

The presence of EGFR mutation was not a prognostic factor of the clinical outcome of early lung cancer after surgical resection.

This result provides an important message for the protocol design of future trials of EGFR inhibitors in early lung cancer.

DNA mutations of EGFR and KRAS were investigated in 71 adenocarcinoma patients who received surgical resection.

Whereas KRAS mutation was a poor prognostic factor, EGFR mutation was not, and its presence per se did not affect the clinical outcome of early lung cancer after surgical resection.

[Title] Mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor gene in the development of adenocarcinoma of the lung.

Recently, a mutation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene has been reported to be implicated in the development of pulmonary adenocarcinoma.

However, the involvement of the mutation in atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) and multiple adenocarcinomas still remains unclear.

We herein examined the EGFR mutations in 9 AAH and 31 adenocarcinoma lesions obtained from 30 Japanese patients.

Nine patients had synchronous or metachronous multiple adenocarcinomas and/or AAH.

EGFR mutations were detected in 4 (44%) of 9 AAH and in 7 (23%) of 31 adenocarcinomas.

A gefitinib-resistant point mutation (T790M) in exon 20 without gefitinib treatment was detected in 1 AAH and 1 adenocarcinoma.

The patient with T790M mutated AAH, which also had an exon 19 mutation of D761Y, had synchronous adenocarcinoma, which had only an exon 19 mutation of D761Y.

In the two patients with synchronous AAH and adenocarcinoma, AAH had mutations at exon 19 although adenocarcinoma did not have any mutations.

In the patient with synchronous 2 adenocarcinomas, each had different mutations (exons 19 and 21).

In two patients with double adenocarcinomas, 1 adenocarcinoma harbored exon 21 mutations, while the other demonstrated no mutations.

Although EGFR mutations appeared to be partially associated with the early steps of adenocarcinoma development, such mutations may possibly occur randomly even in multiple lesions in a single patient.

[Title] Non-BAC component but not epidermal growth factor receptor gene mutation is associated with poor outcomes in small adenocarcinoma of the lung.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for poor clinical outcome after surgical resection of small lung adenocarcinoma.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Clinical records of 127 patients who had pathologic stage IA lung adenocarcinoma 20 mm or less and who had undergone a lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection were reviewed.

The percentage of non-bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (non-BAC) components quantified objectively, and epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) mutation determined by polymerase chain reaction-based assay were retrospectively linked with clinical data.

RESULTS: Based on the percentage of non-BAC component, 127 patients were classified as follows: 26 in group I, BAC, 46 in group II mixed subtype with >or= 50% BAC, 18 in group III, mixed subtype with under 50% BAC, and 37 in group IV, mixed subtype with all non-BAC components or a pure pattern of one of the non-BAC components.

Groups I and II were considered to be a "low non-BAC component type" and groups III and IV were considered to be a "high non-BAC component type."

In terms of recurrence, the high non-BAC component type was the only independent factor for recurrence (p = 0.029).

Regarding survival, the high age (p = 0.028) and high non-BAC component type (p = 0.046) were independent risk factors for poor overall survival.

CONCLUSION: The high non-BAC component but not EGFR mutation status, is an independent risk factor for both recurrence and poor prognosis in patients with stage IA lung adenocarcinoma <or=20 mm.

[Title] Epidermal growth factor receptor mutation status and clinicopathological features of combined small cell carcinoma with adenocarcinoma of the lung.

In lung cancer, somatic mutations of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are concentrated in exons 18-21, especially in adenocarcinoma (Ad), but these mutations have rarely been reported in small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC).

We retrospectively studied six patients with combined SCLC with Ad components among 64 consecutive patients who underwent resection of SCLC.

The clinicopathological features of each patient were reviewed, especially for the distribution pattern of the Ad component and lymph node metastases.

EGFR mutations were screened by high-resolution melting analysis in each case, and were confirmed by sequencing of each mutation in the microdissected SCLC or Ad components.

In this case, both the SCLC and Ad components shared the same mutation in exon 21 (L858R).

We identified a patient with combined SCLC with Ad sharing an identical EGFR mutation in both the SCLC and Ad components.

In addition to the clinicopathological characteristics of this rare histological type of lung cancer, these findings provide useful information for better understanding the biology, natural history and clinical management of SCLC.

[Title] Impact on disease-free survival of adjuvant erlotinib or gefitinib in patients with resected lung adenocarcinomas that harbor epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations.

: 7523 Background: Patients with stage IV adenocarcinoma whose tumors harbor EGFR mutations have high rates of response (∼ 75%) and prolonged progression free survival after EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment.

To see if adjuvant treatment with EGFR TKI (gefitinib or erlotinib) improves DFS in patients with EGFR mutation NSCLC, we conducted a retrospective review of patients with resected lung adenocarcinoma harboring EGFR mutations, some of whom received EGFR TKIs postoperatively.

METHODS: With Institutional Review Board approval, clinical information was obtained on all patients with stage I-III lung adenocarcinoma harboring EGFR exon 19 or 21 mutations that underwent resection at MSKCC between May 2002 and August 2008.

RESULTS: We studied 150 patients (112 women, 38 men) with completely resected stage I-III lung adenocarcinoma whose resection specimens contained EGFR activating mutations in exon 19 or 21.

After controlling for stage, individuals who received adjuvant gefitinib or erlotinib had a better DFS (HR=0.38, 95%CI: 0.16-0.90) than the non-TKI group (p=0.03).

CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that the adjuvant use of either gefitinib or erlotinib improves DFS in patients with completely resected stage I -III lung adenocarcinomas with mutations in EGFR exons 19 and 21.

METHODS: The expression of Pin1 and β-catenin proteins was detected in 69 lung cancer cases by immunohistochemical SP method, and in 30 fresh lung samples by Western blot.

RESULTS: Immunohistochemically, the overexpression of Pin1 and β-catenin in lung cancer was 78.3% (54/69) and 63.8% (44/69), respectively.

Western blot results showed that the expression of Pin1 and β-catenin in lung cancer tissues was significantly higher than that of paracancerous lung tissues (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS: Pin1 is overexpressed in squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the lung and may play a critical role in oncogenesis of lung cancer.

[Title] Correlation between HLA alleles and EGFR mutation in Japanese patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung.

INTRODUCTION: The identification of activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene is one of the most intriguing recent discoveries in the field of lung cancer research, and they are more commonly found in adenocarcinoma occurring in females, never/light smokers, and East Asian patients.

METHODS: This study evaluated the medical records of 437 patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung who underwent a surgical resection.

In females, the incidences of EGFR mutation were 61.0% and 41.7% in HLA-A2 (+) and A2 (-) patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung, respectively (p = 0.008).

CONCLUSIONS: EGFR: mutations are associated with HLA-A2 in female patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung.

Further research was needed to elucidate the other relevant factors in the histogenesis of lung cancer with an EGFR mutation.

[Title] Subtypes of peripheral adenocarcinoma of the lung: differentiation by thin-section CT.

The purpose of this study was to scrutinize morphological characteristics of thin-section CT of the histopathological subtypes of adenocarcinoma of the lung.

The subjects consisted of 83 patients with 87 adenocarcinomas measuring 3 cm or less in the largest.

We believe thin-section CT findings reflect the histopathological subtypes of adenocarcinoma of the lung.

The presence of air bronchogram and bubble-like areas of low attenuation areas in particular is useful to differentiate replacement growth tumors from non-replacement growth tumors.

[Title] Frequency of carcinoma not otherwise specified (NOS) as a histologic diagnosis among non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases between 1989 to 2006: An epidemiologic study from the California Cancer Registry.

We investigated the distribution of carcinoma NOS (not otherwise specified) among NSCLC cases in California.

METHODS: Retrospective population-based analysis of 175,298 NSCLC patients diagnosed histologically or cytologically from the statewide California Cancer Registry from 1989 to 2006.

RESULTS: Carcinoma NOS accounted for 22.2% of all NSCLC patients, was most commonly diagnosed cytologically (36.7%) and had the worst 5-year survival estimates (5.8%) and median OS (5 months) compared to other major histologies.

The proportion of carcinoma NOS was highest among stage 4 disease and increased significantly from 1989 to 2006 among all patients, both males and females, all 4 major ethnicities (Caucasian, African-American, Hispanic, and Asian), all age- categories, and all AJCC stages.

The percentage of the very elderly (80+) increased from 10.8% to 17.1% among all NSCLC patients and they had the highest percentages of carcinoma NOS and cytologically-diagnosed NSCLC among all age categories.

Among stage 4 patients, carcinoma NOS patients derived less survival benefit from chemotherapy than adenocarcinoma patients during the most recent period of diagnosis and Cox proportional hazards analysis indicated carcinoma NOS (vs. adenocarcinoma; HR = 1.061, 95% CI: 1.040- 1.083) and cytologically-diagnosed NSCLC (vs. histologically-diagnosed NSCLC, HR = 1.043, 95% CI: 1.024-1.062) were independent unfavorable prognostic factors for OS.

CONCLUSIONS: Carcinoma NOS was a common histologic diagnosis and was increasing in proportion among NSCLC in California from 1989 to 2006.

[Title] Bevacizumab (B), cisplatin, and vinorelbine in chemotherapy-naive patients (p) with nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): A Galician Lung Cancer Group phase II study.

: e19089 Background: Bevacizumab, an anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody, improves response rates and prolongs survival in p with non squamous NSCLC when combined with carboplatin-paclitaxel or cisplatin-gemcitabine.

METHODS: Chemotherapy-naïve p diagnosed with stage IIIB or IV non squamous NSCLC received cisplatin (80 mg/m2), vinorelbine (25 mg/m2 IV days 1 and 8) and B (15 mg/kg IV) on day 1 every 3 weeks for up to 6 cycles followed by B 15 mg/kg alone every 3 weeks until disease progression.

P characteristics were: male 66.7%; median age 57 years (range 41-74); ECOG PS 0/1 (%) 33.3/66.7; adenocarcinoma/other (%) 74.1/25.9; stage IIIB/IV (%) 25.9/74.1.

Most common grade 3/4 non hematological toxicities were: vomiting (1p gr.

CONCLUSIONS: This interim analysis shows that B in combination with cisplatin and vinorelbine is safe and well tolerated and has a promising activity in chemo-naïve p with non squamous NSCLC.

[Title] Winning the battle, losing the war: the noncurative "curative" resection for stage I adenocarcinoma of the lung.

BACKGROUND: Understanding recurrence of surgically "cured" stage I adenocarcinoma of the lung is important given expected benefits of adjuvant therapy for advanced disease.

Therefore, this study characterizes cancer recurrence and its risks, assesses survival after recurrence, and contextualizes overall survival and its risks.

METHODS: From 1991 to 2001, 285 patients underwent resection of stage I adenocarcinoma (pathologic) of the lung.

They were followed cross-sectionally for evidence of cancer recurrence (mean follow-up 7.7 ± 4.3 years).

Risk factors for recurrence and all-cause mortality were sought among demographic, medical history, cancer pathology, and surgical procedure data.

RESULTS: Cancer recurred in 99 patients.

Overall survival (65% and 40% at 5 and 10 years) depended not only on variables related to cancer recurrence, but also those of vitality (older age, pulmonary dysfunction, postpneumonectomy state).

CONCLUSIONS: Stage I adenocarcinoma of the lung recurs.

[Title] [Expression of STK15 and its significance in squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the lung].

The overexpression of STK15 is significantly associated with carcinogenesis in many tumors, however, its expression and significance in human lung cancer are still unclear.

The aim of this study is to investigate the expression of STK15 in squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the lung and to analyze the correlation between STK15 expression and clinicopathological factors.

METHODS: The pattern of STK15 protein expression was detected in 44 squamous cell carcinomas, 36 adenocarcinomas and 20 paracancerous lung tissue samples by immunohistochemistry method using anti-STK15 antibody.

The relative quantity of STK15 protein expression was detected by Western blot, and STK15 mRNA expression was detected by RT-PCR in 40 fresh lung cancer samples and corresponding paracancerous lung tissues.

RESULTS: Positive expression rate of STK15 protein was 68.75% (55/80) in lung cancer tissues and 0% in paracancerous controls (P < 0.001).

STK15 expression was significantly related to differentiation grade of lung cancer (P=0.011), but not to histological classification, TNM stages or lymphatic metastasis (P > 0.05).

The relative expression levels of STK15 protein (P < 0.001 ) and STK15 mRNA (P < 0.001) in lung cancer tissues were both significantly higher than those of corresponding paracancerous lung tissues.

CONCLUSIONS: The expression of STK15 protein and STK15 mRNA is significantly higher in lung cancer tissues than that in paracancerous lung tissues.

The expression of STK15 correlates with differentiation of lung cancer.

[Title] Value of FDG-PET/CT findings revised using an anthropomorphic body phantom for the evaluation of tumor malignancy grade in small-sized lung adenocarcinomas: A multicenter study.

: 7573 Background: The malignant behavior of small lung adenocarinomas (AD), which have been detected with increasing frequency recently, has not yet been clearly evaluated, and an understanding of this biological characteristic is vital for selecting the appropriate therapeutic strategy.

We examined the malignancy grade of small lung ADs using FDG-PET/CT (PET), in addition to high-resolution CT (HRCT) and pathologic evaluation in a multicenter setting.

METHODS: A total of 204 patients with cT1N0M0 AD underwent PET and HRCT, followed by complete resection with lymph node dissection.

Assessment by PET in addition to HRCT is useful for selection of the appropriate treatment strategy for small lung AD.

Recent work has focused on the potential for cancer vaccines via microvesicles.

It has also been demonstrated that various cell-specific phenotypes can be transferred from one cell type to another through microvesicle transfer.

Studies in our laboratory have demonstrated that co-culture of murine lung tissue with marrow cells across a cell impermeable membrane can induce elevations in lung-specific mRNA expression in human donor marrow stem cells.

Our objective is to determine whether there is transfer of genetic or transcriptional factors via microvesicles from human prostate cancer cells to fresh human marrow cells.

Samples were histologically confirmed to contain prostatic adenocarcinoma.

[Title] Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis of gastric cancer: Multicenter retrospective analysis of 54 cases.

: e15658 Background: Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis occurs in approximately 5% of patients with cancer.

The most common cancers involving the leptomeninges are breast and lung cancer.

However, gastric adenocarcinoma has been rarely reported with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMC).

The majority of patients had advanced disease at the initial diagnosis of gastric cancer.

The clinical or pathologic TNM stages of the primary gastric cancer were IV in 38 patients (70%).

The median interval from the diagnosis of the primary malignancy to the diagnosis of LMC was 6.3 months (range, 0 - 73.1 months).

Median OS duration from diagnosis of LMC was 6.7 weeks (95% CI; 4.3-9.1 weeks).

[Title] Identification of potential diagnostic markers in bronchial fluid of patients with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

: e22216 Background: Early diagnosis in lung cancer could improve its treatment and, subsequently, its prognosis and survival.

The aim of this study was to find protein markers in bronchial fluid which could enable early diagnosis in NSCLC.

METHODS: We have included 96 patients with NSCLC diagnosed using bronchoscope (64 scamous/29 adenocarcinoma/3 others) and 49 consecutive patients with non pathological bronchoscope.

Resultant intensities in each group of patients (NSCLC/non pathological bronchoscope) were compared using T-Student method.

We calculated "fold change" of each spot as the ratio between mean intensity in NSCLC bronchoscopes samples and non pathological bronchoscopes samples.

[Title] Circulating tumor cells monitored over time in lung cancer patients.

: 11025 Background: Circulating tumor cell (CTC) detection and enumeration is a valuable tool for monitoring cancer patient status and outcome.

While many current techniques employ immunomagnetic-enrichment based protocols focused on the importance of a particular CTC number as the indicator of patient status or outcome, we employ a cytometric, enrichment free approach using an immunofluorescent protocol to monitor CTC counts in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) over the course of treatment.

The histological subtypes in the 42 cases for which the data was available included adenocarcinoma (22/42), squamous cell carcinoma (6/42), large cell undifferentiated carcinoma (3/42), and non-small cell lung carcinoma not further described, poorly differentiated, or with a mixed pattern (11/42).

[Title] Prognostic factors by histologic subtype in stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): A population-based survival analysis of data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program (1988-2003).

: 11053 Background: Representing roughly 85% of all lung cancers, NSCLC is frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage and has a poor prognosis.

The distribution of cases according to time period of diagnosis and select patient and tumor characteristics was described for each histologic subtype (squamous; adenocarcinoma (bronchioloalveolar adenocarcinoma (BAC), non-BAC); large cell; and other/unknown).

RESULTS: Most recent period of diagnosis (1998-2003 versus 1988-1992) conferred a survival advantage across histologic subtypes, independent of gender, age, ethnicity/race, tumor grade, and uptake of surgery/radiation.

This was especially pronounced for those diagnosed with large cell tumors (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 0.76, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.71-0.82).

The influence of ethnicity/race also varied with histology: compared to Whites, American Indians/Alaskan Natives with squamous tumors and Blacks with large cell tumors had a poorer prognosis, whereas Asians/Pacific Islanders with either non-BAC or large cell tumors demonstrated superior survival.

Nonetheless, lung cancer remains a deadly disease, and the prognostic effect of demographic factors varies with histologic subtype.

[Title] Baseline thymidylate synthase expression according to histological subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer.

: 7521 Background: In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) baseline thymidilate synthase (TS) levels are higher in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) compared to adenocarcinoma (AC) and randomized clinical trials have shown a selective benefit for patients with non-squamous histology treated with pemetrexed, a TS-inhibiting agent.

TS expression in undifferentiated large cell carcinoma (LCC) is unknown.

c) in all histotypes TS protein level with desmocollin-3 (DSC-3) immunostaining, a marker of squamous cell differentiation.

TS expression level was assessed in a group of patients (n=22) with cytological diagnosis of NSCLC-NOS (not otherwise specified) and compared with TS data in tissue specimens obtained through subsequent bronchial biopsy or surgical resection.

[Title] Lung cancer prediction: Phase transitions and cell ratio factors.

: e22170 Background: Search of precise prognostic factors for non-small lung cancer (LC) patients (LCP) was realized.

METHODS: In trial (1985-2008) the data of consecutive 490 LCP after complete resections R0 (age=56.7±8 years; m=439, f=51; tumor diameter: D=4.5±2.1 cm; pneumonectomies=206, lobectomies=284, combined procedures with resection of pericardium, atrium, aorta, VCS, carina, diaphragm, ribs=130; squamous=308, adenocarcinoma=147, large cell=35; T1=143, T2=217, T3=107, T4=23; N0=282, N1=115, N2=93; G1=114, G2=140, G3=236; early LC: LC till 2 cm in D with N0=58, invasive LC=432) was reviewed.

Variables selected for 5-year survival (5YS) study were input levels of blood cell subpopulations, TNMG, D.

Cox modeling displayed that 5YS significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) in terms of synergetics "early-invasive LC", PT N0-N12, histology, G1-3, cell ratio factors: ratio between the total populations of leucocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils and LC cells (P=0.000-0.044).

[Title] Prognostic value of microRNAs (miRNAs) profiling in early-stage squamous cell lung cancer (SqCLC).

: 7594 Background: About 50% of NSCLC patients (pts) will develop distant metastases following pulmonary resection.

Currently, apart from clinical stage at diagnosis, there are no reliable clinical factors to select high risk pts for adjuvant chemotherapy. miRNAs profiling is expected to indicate pts with aggressive disease and to provide prognostic information.

Confounding effect of NSCLC pathology heterogeneity justifies searching for prognostic miRNAs separately in SqCLC and adenocarcinoma.

METHODS: Fresh frozen tumor tissue was obtained from 30 SqCLC stage I-II pts during curative pulmonary resection.

[Title] Transcriptome-wide mutation discovery in patients in a phase II clinical trial of first-line erlotinib for clinically selected patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Eligibility criteria included: stage IIIB/IV NSCLC; no prior chemo; ECOG ≤2; at least 2 of the following 4 criteria: women, never-smokers, Southeast Asian origin, adenocarcinoma and/or BAC.

Pathology: 44 ACA; 3 BAC;1 squamous carcinoma; 13 NSCLC NOS.

Responses: PR - 21 (35%); SD - 24 (DCR 75%); PD - 10; NE - 5.

Analysis of over 21 Giga basepairs of aligned transcriptome sequencing data from 20 tumour samples has uncovered 1089 putative non-conservative gene mutations of which 15 are seen in multiple tumours: TUBA1C, EPS8L1, ARID4B, RPL22, C20orf52, CCT8, HLA-DRB5, TRIP6, and PLP2 in 4 tumours, C20orf52 and CTSL1 in 5 tumours, and SERF2, TMEM173, and an uncharacterized gene in 6 tumours.

CONCLUSIONS: Clinical selection of pts enriches the EGFR mutation positive and KRAS mutation negative population and leads to high rates of non-progression.

The discovery of novel mutations in multiple pts suggests patterns that may shed light on lung cancer specific behaviour.

[Title] Quality of life in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients receiving first-line gefitinib monotherapy.

: 9614 Background: Gefitinib is a potential first-line treatment option for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially for patients with activating mutations in the EGFR gene.

HRQOL was assessed monthly with the EuroQoL instrument (EQ-5D) and the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) questionnaire.

Baseline EQ-5D index (estimated hazard ratio = 0.286, 95% C.I.: 0.135-0.603, p = 0.001) and the presence of L858R EGFR mutation in adenocarcinoma (estimated hazard ratio = 0.520, 95% C.I.: 0.307-0.880, p = 0.015) were retained as independent prognostic factors in the final multiple Cox's proportional hazards model for TTF.

CONCLUSIONS: In advanced NSCLC patients receiving first-line gefitinib, better baseline EQ-5D index and L858R EGFR mutation in adenocarcinoma predict longer TTF.

[Title] EGFR activating aberration occurs independently of other genetic aberrations or telomerase activation in adenocarcinoma of the lung.

The prognosis of lung cancer remains poor, and biological heterogeneity is largely responsible, especially in adenocarcinoma.

We previously found that only one third of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) but most small cell lung cancer (SCLC) tissues have strong telomerase activity, representing the difference in the history of multiple clonal selections.

To reveal the genes differentially involved in telomerase activation mechanisms, we analyzed the relationship between common genetic aberrations and telomerase activity in 83 lung cancer tissues.

We found that half (7 of 14) of lung adenocarcinomas with high telomerase activity showed neither TP53 nor RB1 deletion, while all squamous cell carcinomas and SCLCs with high telomerase activity showed loss of heterozygosity of at least one, if not both, of these suppressor oncogenes, indicating that these genetic aberrations are not required in activation of telomerase in a unique subset of adenocarcinoma.

Furthermore, whereas the aberrations in TP53, RB1 and 1p34-pter were mutually related in 42 adenocarcinoma tissues, EGFR aberrations showed no relationship to either of them.

These findings indicate that EGFR activating aberrations occur independently of other common genetic aberrations or telomerase activation mechanisms in lung adenocarcinoma, and that the distinct subset of lung adenocarcinoma with high telomerase activity without any common genetic aberrations may possibly have arisen from a telomerase-positive or telomerase-competent normal cell.

[Title] A multicenter, phase 2 study of vascular endothelial growth factor trap (Aflibercept) in platinum- and erlotinib-resistant adenocarcinoma of the lung.

INTRODUCTION: Aflibercept (vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF] trap), a recombinant fusion protein, blocks the activity of VEGF-A and placental growth factor and has demonstrated activity in pretreated patients with lung cancer in a phase I trial.

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of intravenous aflibercept in patients with platinum- and erlotinib-resistant lung adenocarcinoma.

Patients with platinum- and erlotinib-resistant lung adenocarcinoma were eligible.

CONCLUSIONS: Aflibercept has minor single agent activity in heavily pretreated lung adenocarcinoma, and is well tolerated, with no unexpected toxicities.

Further studies evaluating aflibercept in lung cancer, in combination with chemotherapy and other targeted therapies, are ongoing.

[Title] A phase II trial of salirasib in patients with stage IIIB/IV lung adenocarcinoma enriched for KRAS mutations.

: 8012 Background: KRAS mutations are present in 30% of lung adenocarcinomas and are associated with primary resistance to erlotinib and gefitinib.

Salirasib inhibits KRAS-dependent growth in cell lines and xenograft models.

The primary endpoint was rate of RECIST non-progression at 10 wks.

The successful enrollment over 15 months of 29 pts with tumors with known KRAS mutations demonstrates that trials of a KRAS-specific genotype in lung cancer are feasible, and should be standard in future studies targeting the KRAS pathway.

[Title] Stage-size relationship in long-term repeated CT screening for lung cancer: Anti-Lung Cancer Association project.

: 1540 Background: We have investigated the individualized benefit of CT screening as Anti-Lung Cancer Association projects (presented at ASCO 2006-2008).

However, there has not been enough information about the relationship of lung cancer stage to tumor size in repeated CT screening.

Therefore, we evaluated the stage-size relationship of these asymptomatic lung cancer cases diagnosed by long-term repeated screening with low-dose helical CT.

Histology for the categories 15 mm or less was localized bronchioloalveolar carcinoma in 13 cases, adenocarcinoma with mixed subtype in 11 cases, invasive adenocarcinoma in five cases, other non-small cell carcinoma in 10 cases, and small cell carcinoma in one case.

CONCLUSIONS: These results provide direct evidence of a stage-size relationship in long-term repeated CT screening for lung cancer.

Furthermore, early detection of lung cancer of 15 mm or less in diameter leads to the detection of early-stage (N0M0) lung cancer in repeated CT screening.
