Low densities of immune cells indicate unfavourable overall survival in patients suffering from squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.

Carcinogenesis and tumor proliferation are characterized by a complex interaction of cancer cells with the tumor microenvironment. In particular, a tumor-promoting effect can be assumed for the stroma and its fibroblasts. An influence of the immune system on non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is now also suspected.

Effects of a disability-simulating learning unit on ableism of final-year dental students - a pilot study.

Objectives: This study aimed to describe a disability-simulating learning unit (DSLU) to raise dental students' awareness of the special needs of patients with disabilities as well as to measure the effect of the DSLU on ableism.

Methods: A DSLU among final-year undergraduate dental students (n = 33), was developed and evaluated. The students were randomly divided into two groups (Group I, n = 17; Group II, n = 16).
