Clinicopathological and Prognostic Features of 67 Cases with Pulmonary Sarcomatoid Carcinoma: An 18-Year Single-Centre Experience.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the epidemiological, clinicopathological, and survival data of Pulmonary Sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) patients treated at a tertiary referral hospital.

Usefulness of Positron Emission Tomography in the Examination of Hilar and Mediastinal Lymphadenopathies in Patients with Suspicion of Lung Cancer.

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that PET might be a useful test for examination of the mediastinum in lung cancer patients, and suggests that the absence of mediastinal uptake could be used to proceed to surgical treatment without the need for further tests or examinations.

Gitogenin suppresses lung cancer progression by inducing apoptosis and autophagy initiation through the activation of AMPK signaling.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors explored the effects of gitogenin (GIT), derived from Tribulus longipetalus, on lung cancer progression both in vitro and in vivo, and found that GIT markedly reduced the proliferation and induced apoptosis in lung cancer cells through increasing the cleavage of Caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs).

Optimizing the Approach to Patients With Pleural Effusion and Radiologic Findings Suspect for Cancer.

TL;DR: For patients presenting with pleural effusion accompanied by additional suspect findings, concurrent tissue sampling, and thoracentesis may both reduce loss to follow up and accelerate care.

The IASLC Lung Cancer Staging Project: Proposals for the Revisions of the T Descriptors in the Forthcoming Eighth Edition of the TNM Classification for Lung Cancer

TL;DR: Recommendations are to subclassify T1 into T1a, T1b, and T1c, and to group involvement of main bronchus as T2 regardless of distance from carina; to group partial and total atelectasis/pneumonitis as T1; to reclassify diaphragm invasion as T4; and to delete mediastinal pleura invasion as a T descriptor.
