Journal ArticleDOI

The IASLC Lung Cancer Staging Project: Proposals for Revision of the TNM Stage Groupings in the Forthcoming (Eighth) Edition of the TNM Classification for Lung Cancer.

Peter Goldstraw, +142 more
TL;DR: The methods used to evaluate the resultant Stage groupings and the proposals put forward for the 8th edition of the TNM Classification for lung cancer due to be published late 2016 are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mediastinoscopy vs Endosonography for Mediastinal Nodal Staging of Lung Cancer: A Randomized Trial

TL;DR: Among patients with (suspected) NSCLC, a staging strategy combining endosonography and surgical staging compared with surgical staging alone resulted in greater sensitivity for mediastinal nodal metastases and fewer unnecessary thoracotomies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mouse models of asthma: a comparison between C57BL/6 and BALB/c strains regarding bronchial responsiveness, inflammation and cytokine production

TL;DR: P phenotypic differences between C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice in an asthma model with different distributions of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory cells are observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The IASLC Lung Cancer Staging Project: Methodology and Validation Used in the Development of Proposals for Revision of the Stage Classification of NSCLC in the Forthcoming (Eighth) Edition of the TNM Classification of Lung Cancer

Frank C. Detterbeck, +164 more
TL;DR: An extensive analysis has produced stage classification proposals for lung cancer with a robust degree of discriminatory consistency and general applicability and external validation is encouraged to identify areas of strength and weakness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Airway eosinophilia is not a requirement for allergen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness.

TL;DR: House dust mites are the major source of perennial allergens causing human allergic asthma and animal models mimicking as closely as possible the allergic features observed in human asthma are interesting tools for studying the immunological and pathophysiological mechanisms involved.
