Validation of the IASLC/ATS/ERS lung adenocarcinoma classification for prognosis and association with EGFR and KRAS gene mutations: analysis of 440 Japanese patients.

TL;DR: The IASLC/ATS/ERS classification identified prognostic histologic subtypes of lung adenocarcinomas among Japanese patients and revealed that the new classification was an independent predictor of disease-free survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinicopathologic Features of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer with EML4–ALK Fusion Gene

TL;DR: EML4–ALK fusion genes were observed predominantly in adenocarcinomas, in female or nonsmoking populations, and were mutually exclusive with mutations in the EGFR, KRAS, and ERBB2 genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor gene are linked to smoking-independent, lung adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: Adenocarcinomas with EGFR mutation had a distinctive clinico-pathological feature unrelated to smoking, suggesting that Epidermal growth factor receptor mutations may play a key role in the development of smoking-independent adenocARCinoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of virtual assisted lung mapping (VAL-MAP), a bronchoscopic multispot dye-marking technique using virtual images, for precise navigation of thoracoscopic sublobar lung resection.

TL;DR: 3-dimensional virtual images were used and multiple markings made on the lung surface to provide "geometric" information, and this technique "virtual assisted lung mapping" (VAL-MAP) was safely conducted with satisfactory outcomes in early experience.
