Article Synopsis
- Lung cancer poses a significant health challenge globally, with patient survival rates varying widely, and this study explores the genetic factors affecting these outcomes through an analysis of germline polymorphisms in 1,464 lung adenocarcinoma patients after surgery.!* -
- Researchers employed a Cox proportional hazard model to evaluate over seven million polymorphisms against overall survival over a 60-month period, considering key variables like age, sex, and disease stage.!* -
- Six significant germline variants were identified, linked to gene expression regulation, indicating that certain minor alleles correspond to poorer survival outcomes; further research is needed to fully understand these genetic mechanisms in lung cancer prognosis.!*
A pedicled flap obtained by mobilizing the right lobe of the thymus was used to protect bronchial sutures in 29 consecutive patients undergoing a right pneumonectomy and in 4 additional patients. Fourteen patients had received preoperative chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy. The flap procedure was, in general, easy to do, required an average time of 20.
