Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates metabolic changes related to solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) using plasma samples to identify potential diagnostic markers.
  • It analyzed 1160 plasma samples from healthy individuals and patients with benign or malignant SPNs using advanced mass spectrometry techniques.
  • Results showed distinct metabolic profiles between healthy individuals and SPN patients, but no significant differences existed between benign and malignant SPNs, indicating early metabolic changes but limited differentiation in later stages.

Published studies on the relationships between 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) polymorphisms and lung cancer risk have been conflicting. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to assess the association between MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms and lung cancer risk.
