Characterizing the cancer genome in lung adenocarcinoma

Barbara A. Weir, +85 more
- 06 Dec 2007 - 
TL;DR: A large-scale project to characterize copy-number alterations in primary lung adenocarcinomas using dense single nucleotide polymorphism arrays identifies NKX2-1 (NK2 homeobox 1, also called TITF1), which lies in the minimal 14q13.3 amplification interval and encodes a lineage-specific transcription factor, as a novel candidate proto-oncogene involved in a significant fraction of lung carcinomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nomenclature Revision for Encapsulated Follicular Variant of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Paradigm Shift to Reduce Overtreatment of Indolent Tumors

TL;DR: Thyroid tumors currently diagnosed as noninvasive EFVPTC have a very low risk of adverse outcome and should be termed NIFTP, and this reclassification will affect a large population of patients worldwide and result in a significant reduction in psychological and clinical consequences associated with the diagnosis of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unique clinicopathologic features characterize ALK-rearranged lung adenocarcinoma in the western population.

TL;DR: Lung adenocarcinomas with ALK rearrangements are uncommon in the western population and represent a distinct entity of carcinomas with unique characteristics, and dual diagnostic testing, with FISH and immunohistochemistry, should be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comprehensive analysis of PAX8 expression in human epithelial tumors.

TL;DR: Results show that PAX8 is a highly sensitive marker for thyroid, renal, Müllerian, and thymic tumors, and is an excellent marker for confirming primary tumor site.
