Mashup Score: 17
Lung cancer screening using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) carefully implemented has been found to reduce deaths from lung cancer. Optimal management starts with selection of eligibility criteria, counseling of screenees, smoking cessation, selection of the regimen of screening which specifies the imaging protocol, and workup of LDCT findings. Coordination of clinical, radiologic, and interventional teams and ultimately treatment of diagnosed lung cancers under screening determine the benefit of LDCT screening.

Mashup Score: 9Lung Cancer in Syria - 11 day(s) ago
Syria is a low-income country located on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea basin in the Middle East. The area of Syria is 185,180 km2 (Fig. 1).1 It consists of 14 governorates, and its capital is Damascus (Fig. 2). For the past 12 years, Syria has been experiencing conflict and economic crisis that have made the health system in general and cancer management in particular in a difficult situation.2

Mashup Score: 13
The goal of surgical resection is to completely remove a cancer; it is useful to have a system to describe how well this was accomplished. This is captured by the residual tumor (R) classification, which is separate from the TNM classification that describes the anatomic extent of a cancer independent of treatment. The traditional R-classification designates as R0 a complete resection, as R1 a macroscopically complete resection but with microscopic tumor at the surgical margin, and as R2 a resection that leaves gross tumor behind.

This paper represents a comprehensive review of evidence regarding R categories & the descriptors thereof. W/the same overall framework & descriptors in the 9th edition, refinements to the descriptors should facilitate application & further research.https://t.co/Pqc8zM7djK #IASLC https://t.co/M8MHFkSSq3

Mashup Score: 21Chemotherapy and Osimertinib Combination Should Not Be the First-Line Treatment for All Advanced EGFR+ NSCLC - 26 day(s) ago
EGFR accounts for 15% to 50% of nonsquamous, advanced NSCLC. Among various EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) designed to target sensitizing mutations (exon 19 deletion, exon 21 L858R), osimertinib remains the standard of care approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the first-line treatment of EGFR-mutated, advanced NSCLC. Despite continued efforts, disease progression remains inevitable with a high incidence of brain metastasis and poor prognosis for the patients harboring L858R.

Mashup Score: 1Five-Year Survival Outcomes After Carbon-Ion Radiotherapy for Operable Stage I NSCLC: A Japanese National Registry Study (J-CROS-LUNG) - 1 month(s) ago
The standard therapy for stage I NSCLC is surgery, but some operable patients refuse this option and instead undergo radiotherapy. Carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) is a type of radiotherapy. The Japanese prospective nationwide registry study on CIRT began in 2016. Here, we analyzed real-world clinical outcomes of CIRT for operable patients with stage I NSCLC.

Mashup Score: 1Lung Cancer in Switzerland - 2 month(s) ago
Currently, 8.7 million people live in Switzerland—a number that has more than doubled in the past 100 years. In the same time, the population has become significantly older, and today, one-fifth is beyond retirement age (65 y in Switzerland). With an average life expectancy of 82 years in men and 86 years in women, Switzerland has one of the highest life expectancies worldwide.1 Annually, 43,000 people are diagnosed with having cancer in Switzerland. The estimated age-standardized lung cancer incidence in Switzerland is lower than that in surrounding countries (Fig. 1).
