Pulmonary nodules are usually considered to be associated with malignant tumors and benign lesions, such as granuloma, pulmonary lymph nodes, fibrosis, and inflammatory lesions. Clinical cases of pulmonary nodules associated with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis have rarely been reported. Therefore, when patients develop pulmonary nodules, the possibility of developing hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is often not considered. We report the first case of familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis with recurrent pulmonary nodules as the first symptom. Our findings will hopefully provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary nodules in the future.

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of apatinib (APT) mesylate on the growth, migration ability, and underlying mechanisms in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cell lines Kyse30 and Kyse150. Additionally, the anti-metastatic effects of APT mesylate were further validated in a nude mouse xenograft metastasis model. In vitro, APT mesylate treatment significantly reduced cell viability and migration ability in both cell lines in a dose- and time-dependent manner.

In recent years, the incidence of ground-glass nodular lung adenocarcinoma has gradually increased. Preoperative evaluation of the tumor invasiveness is very important, but there is a lack of effective methods. Plasma samples of ground-glass nodular lung adenocarcinoma and healthy volunteers were collected.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, The First Hospital of China Medical University, No. 155, Nanjing North Street, Shenyang, 110002, Liaoning, P.R. China.

Background: With advancements in imaging testing and surgical procedures, an increasing number of nodules with smaller diameters and deeper locations have been deemed suitable for surgical intervention. The preoperative localization of these nodules has become essential. In this retrospective single-center study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness and patient comfort associated with the use of a four-hook needle versus a hook-wire needle for preoperative localization.

Background: With increased early detection efforts, surgery for early-stage lung cancer is expected to rise. Pafolacianine is the first FDA approved targeted optical imaging agent indicated as an adjunct for intraoperative identification of malignant and nonmalignant pulmonary lesions in adult patients with known or suspected cancer in the lung.

Methods: This is a retrospective review of the malignant and nonmalignant lesions identified by pafolacianine with intraoperative molecular imaging (IMI) in the multi-center Phase 2 and Phase 3 ELUCIDATE clinical trials.

There have been enormous advances in the approach to assessing malignancy status of indeterminate pulmonary nodules including risk models, image based biomarkers and numerous types of biologic and molecular markers. All of these have the advantage of guiding further workup once the nodule is identified. The traditional method, especially for smaller nodules relies primarily on assessing whether a nodule changes in size over time and is a feature in virtually every management protocol for both screen detected as well as incidentally detected nodules.
