Article Synopsis
- Stiff-person syndrome is a rare autoimmune and neurogenic disorder, often linked to thymoma, a type of tumor in the thymus gland.
- Pure red blood cell aplasia is another disorder tied to thymoma, resulting in a deficiency of red blood cells.
- This text discusses the first known case of a patient with recurrent thymoma exhibiting both stiff-person syndrome and pure red blood cell aplasia, which improved after the tumor was surgically removed.
Lung cancer accounts for the largest number of new cases of cancer deaths annually. The treatment of locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC)will continue to be a problem for many years. In particular, the border-zone subset of stage III A(N2)patients, which lies between the generally resectable stage I and II tumors and the unresectable stage III B patients, has been the subject of a wide variety of clinical trials incorporating various combinations of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery.

We have proposed that the Group-II and -III WW domains be merged into a larger group because the members of each group have relatively wide specificity and bind to the common ligands [Kato et al., J Biol Chem 2004;279:31833-31841].
