To determine whether the -catenin gene is responsible for oncogenesis in thoracic malignancies, we searched for the mutation in 166 lung cancers (90 primary tumors and 76 cell lines), one blastoma and 10 malignant mesotheliomas (two primary tumors and eight cell lines). Among the lung cancers, including 43 small cell lung cancers (SCLCs) and 123 non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs), we identified four alterations in exon 3, which is the target region of mutation for stabilizing -catenin. One primary adenocarcinoma had a somatic mutation from C to G, leading to...more

An interesting study is called, Early Response Evaluation in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma by Positron Emission Tomography With [18F] Fluorodeoxyglucose by Giovanni L. Ceresoli, Arturo Chiti, Paolo A. Zucali, Marcello Rodari, Romano F. Lutman, Silvia Salamina, Matteo Incarbone, Marco Alloisio, Armando Santoro - Journal of Clinical Oncology, Vol 24, No 28 (October 1), 2006: pp. 4587-4593 American Society of Clinical Oncology. Here is an excerpt: ABSTRACT - PURPOSE: Response evaluation with conventional criteria based on computed tomography (CT) is particularly challenging in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) due to its diffuse pattern of growth. There is growing evidence that therapy-induced changes in tumor [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) may predict response and patient outcome early in the course of treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with histologically proven MPM, not candidates to curative surgery, scheduled to undergo palliative chemotherapy with a pemetrexed-based regimen were eligible for this study. Patients were evaluated by FDG-PET and CT at baseline and after two cycles of therapy. A decrease of 25% or...more
