Analysis of gut microbiota in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with immune-checkpoints blockers
2019
Abstract Background The microbiota community is considered as an organ of the human body. Recent studies have found that dysbiosis may have an impact on the interaction between immune regulation and tumor treatment. The main objective of this study is to characterize the gut microbiota in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in advanced stages, and its relationship with obesity, smoking habits, clinical pathological features and response to treatment with immune-checkpoints blockers (ICB). Methods 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed on 48 stool samples from advanced NSCLC patients prior to treatment with ICB (PD-1 inhibitor and PD-L1 inhibitor). The database used for the taxo…

Plausible Role of Estrogens in Pathogenesis, Progression and Therapy of Lung Cancer
2021
Malignant neoplasms are among the most common diseases and are responsible for the majority of deaths in the developed world. In contrast to men, available data show a clear upward trend in the incidence of lung cancer in women, making it almost as prevalent as breast cancer. Women might be more susceptible to the carcinogenic effect of tobacco smoke than men. Furthermore, available data indicate a much more frequent mutation of the tumor suppressor gene-p53 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) female patients compared to males. Another important factor, however, might lie in the female sex hormones, whose mitogenic or carcinogenic effect is well known. Epidemiologic data show a correlatio…
Analysis of Exosomal Cargo Provides Accurate Clinical, Histologic and Mutational Information in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
2022
Simple Summary Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Clinical decision-making depends on the histological classification; however, tissue biopsy is frequently not technically feasible due to tumor location or limited tissue samples. Therefore, we propose to find clinical, molecular and histological biomarkers using a minimally invasive approach based on the analysis of the cargo of the blood extracellular vesicles. Exosomes are membranous vesicles present in several biological fluids, which carry biological information to distant tissues, regulating several tumor processes. This study aims to …
Trombocitozes saistība ar ne-sīkšūnu plaušu vēža pacientu demogrāfiskajiem un klīniskajiem faktoriem
2019
Ievads. Lai gan tiek izstrādātas arvien efektīvākas ļaundabīgo audzēju agrīnas skrīninga un diagnostikas metodes, ne-sīkšūnu plaušu vēzis vēl joprojām pārsvarā tiek atklāts III vai IV stadijā, līdz ar to tas ir viens no vadošajiem audzējiem mirstības ziņā. Trombocīti piedalās vēža šūnu augšanā un tālākā izplatīšanā pa organismu. Ne-sīkšūnu plaušu vēža pacientiem bieži ir palielināts trombocītu skaits, kas ir saistīts ar sliktu prognozi. Tamdēļ, ir būtiski noskaidrot vai pastāv kādi ne-sīkšūnu plauša vēža pacienta demogrāfiskie vai klīniskie rādītāji, kam ir korelācija ar trombocitozi. Tas ļautu laicīgi paredzēt to, ka pacientam iespējams būs palielināts trombocītu skaits un izrietoši sliktā…
