Published: December 2003

A 76-year-old man taking anti-tuberculous drugs for active pulmonary tuberculosis was admitted to our hospital requiring further examination of a pulmonary mass in the left upper lobe. He had had right lower lobectomy and partial middle lobectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer two years before admission. Retrospectively, the left upper lobe mass had been gradually growing for about 2 months. We performed a transbronchial lung biopsy of the pulmonary mass, and diagnosed small-cell lung cancer. This report describes a rare case of small-cell lung cancer appearing during treatment for active pulmonary tuberculosis after non-small-cell lung cancer surgery.

Sensitivity to Environmental Stress and Adversity and Lung Cancer.

JAMA Netw Open

January 2025

Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Rockville, Maryland.

Importance: Sensitivity to environmental stress and adversity may influence lung cancer risk, highlighting a critical link between psychosocial factors and cancer etiology.

Objective: To evaluate whether genetically estimated sensitivity to environmental stress and adversity is associated with lung cancer risk.

Design, Setting, And Participants: Data were obtained from a genome-wide association study identifying 37 independent genetic variants strongly associated with sensitivity to environmental stress and adversity and a cross-ancestry genome-wide meta-analysis from the International Lung Cancer Consortium.

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Its complex molecular mechanisms and high tumor heterogeneity pose significant challenges for clinical treatment. The manganese ion metabolism family plays a crucial role in various biological processes, and the abnormal expression of the NUDT3 gene in multiple cancers has drawn considerable attention.

Radio-immunotherapy has antitumor activity but also causes toxicity, which limits its clinical application. JS-201 is a dual antibody targeting PD-1 and TGF-β signaling. We investigated the antitumour effect of JS-201 combined with radiotherapy and the effect on radiation-induced lung injury (RILI).
