Background: Previous evidence has implied that obesity is an independent risk factor for developing cancer. Being closely related to obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus provides a suitable environment for the formation and metastasis of
Recent studies have indicated that obesity increases the risk of developing several types of cancers including lung cancer, which is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. In the present study, we attempted to discover marker proteins associated with lung cancer progression mediated by
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for hepatic dysfunction during cytotoxic chemotherapy in Japanese patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with NSCLC who received cytotoxic chemotherapy at
Background: We experienced a case of early stage lung cancer involving a morbidly obese patient. Obesity is associated with a higher incidence of surgical complications. We examined the effectiveness of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy as
To evaluate the relationship between obesity, analyzed by different indicators, and lung cancer incidence, literature search was conducted in the PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, Ovid, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases for articles published until December 2018. Twenty-eight
BACKGROUND
Obesity is a risk factor for increased perioperative morbidity and mortality in surgical patients. There have been limited studies to correlate the morbidity of lung cancer resection with obesity.
METHODS
We performed a retrospective study of patients who underwent surgical resection for
BACKGROUND
Obesity has increased dramatically in the American population during the past 2 decades. Approximately 35% of adults are obese. Although obesity represents a major health issue, the association between obesity and operative outcomes has been a subject of controversy. We queried the
BACKGROUND
The effect of obesity on complications after resection for lung cancer is unknown. We hypothesized that obesity is associated with increased complications after anatomic resections for non-small cell lung cancer.
METHODS
A review of our prospective general thoracic database identified 499
The aim of this study was to assess the postoperative outcomes of robotic-assisted lobectomy in obese patients to determine the impact of the robotic approach on a high-risk population who were candidates for major pulmonary resection for non-small-cell lung cancer UNASSIGNED
Previous investigations reported inverse relationship between prostate-specific antigen concentration and body mass index (BMI). These results have been explained by a hemodilution effect among obese men. However, the hemodilution of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) concentration in
BACKGROUND
The incidence of lung cancer in the United States decreased by 1.8% from 1991 to 2005 while it increased by 0.5% in females. We assessed whether nonsmokers afflicted with lung cancer at Staten Island University Hospital are disproportionately female in comparison to national averages. We
In the field of cluster detection, a weighted normal model-based scan statistic was recently developed to analyze regional continuous data and to evaluate the clustering pattern of pre-defined cells (such as state, county, tract, school, hospital) that include many individuals. The continuous
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of G4C14-to-A4T14 polymorphism within P73 gene and additional interactions with current smoking and obesity on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) risk in a Chinese population.
RESULTS
Logistic regression analysis showed a significant
By examining the publicily identified top two health problems in the United States, this research, using an experimental design, investigates whether different news frame combinations intensify or diminish framing effects. In this study, the cognitive dimension and affective dimension of framing
BACKGROUND
Being overweight has been reported to induce hepatic dysfunction during cytotoxic chemotherapy. Severe hepatic dysfunction can also be observed during gefitinib monotherapy, leading to interrupted or discontinued treatment. However, whether being overweight is a risk factor during
