Lung Cancer

Screening key lncRNAs for human lung adenocarcinoma based on machine learning and weighted gene co-expression network analysis.

BACKGROUND: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) accounts for a significant proportion of lung cancer and there have been few diagnostic and therapeutic targets for LUAD due to the lack of specific biomarker. The aim of this study was to identify key long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) for LUAD.

[A Surgical Case of AFP-Producing Gastric Cancer Discovered by Rupture of Liver Metastatic Lesion].

A 57-year-old man visited our hospital with right hypochondralgia. Abdominal contrast CT showed a 10 cm sized mass in S6-7of the liver and abdominal hemorrhage areas. The tumor showed extrahepatic growth. Blood a-fetoprotein(AFP)was high at 4,447.9ng/mL. Hemostasis was performed through emergency transcatheter arterial embolization. At a later date, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a 20 mm ...
