From an analysis of the Swedish Cancer Registry from 1993 to 2008, Hemminki et al. [13] found that patients with metastases from unknown origin diagnosed in the bone mostly died of lung cancer.
A limited number of patients was studied in each group, especially in non emphysema groups which were mostly composed of lung biopsies obtained at a site distant from localised carcinoma.
All group 3 patients had advanced cancer (mostly of the lung and breast, but also cancer of the pancreas and prostate, colorectal, ovarian, appendicular and gastric cancer and liposarcoma).
(5) Stage IV: cancer has spread to other parts of the body, mostly to lungs, bone, or liver.
Hypermethylation frequency in sputum of mostly symptomatic lung cancer patients and controls was investigated for 54 genes (Supplementary Table 1).
To uncover other potential gain-of-function somatic mutations that could have biological and clinical relevance in lung cancer, we performed mutational profiling of a large cohort of lung tumors, mostly adenocarcinomas.
There are only a few published studies that investigated the role of XPC SNPs in the etiology of lung cancer, mostly in Asian populations.
At 6 hours post infection, anti-HMGB1 treatment reduced total pathology scores (P <0.01 versus Wt mice), which was mostly caused by a reduction of lung edema compared to control antibody treatment.
An internal, unpublicized report by the Chinese Academy of Environmental Planning in 2003 estimated that 300,000 people die each year from ambient air pollution, mostly of heart disease and lung cancer.
Upregulation of PC III expression was significantly higher in ventilatory strategies that possibly generated overinflation due to the fact that either high PEEP or high VT affected mostly nondependent lung regions of these groups.
