Article Synopsis
- Hematological abnormalities, such as thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), leukopenia (low white blood cell count), and anemia, are prevalent in patients with compensated cirrhosis, affecting 77.9%, 23.5%, and 21.1% of cases respectively.
- *While cirrhosis was traditionally seen as increasing bleeding risk due to changes in coagulation tests, it's now understood that these patients also face a high risk of thrombotic (blood clot) events, especially as their condition worsens.
- *The complexities of hemostasis in cirrhosis aren't fully captured by standard lab tests, as bleeding relates to portal hypertension and several other factors, necessitating a broader understanding
Introduction: Brain metastases (BM) are frequent among lung cancer patients, affecting prognosis and quality of life. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC), American Thoracic Society (ATS) and European Respiratory Society (ERS) lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) classification (IASLC/ATS/ERS) has prognostic impact in early-stage disease; however, its role in the advanced setting is not precise. This study aims to determine the correlation between the predominant histological subtype and the risk of developing brain metastases (BM) in locally advanced and metastatic (stages IIIB-IV) LADC.
