The popliteal lymph node group as a naturally positioned model for research on lung cancer metastasis
Lung cancer originates so close to the pulmonary veins that penetration into the blood circulation is naturally assured. Despite such excellent hematogenous opportunities, it is the lymphogenous route that brings about centrifugal lymph node involvement as low down as the abdomen. Therefore, it is hypothesized that the more distant popliteal nodes should be purposively harvested ethically, cut...

Survival disparities in non-small cell lung cancer patients receiving radiation treatment: An investigation of race and gender
Multiple studies evaluating non-small cell lung cancer disparities reveal male gender and African American race as independent predictors for poorer outcome. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic factors affecting survival of non-small cell lung cancer patients receiving radiation treatment at the University of Washington and to investigate whether race and gender disparities persist at the level of access to...

Ultrastructural changes in premalignant and malignant lesions of the uterine cervix with papillomavirus infection
The main purpose of this study was intended to determine the possible ultrastructural relations among the human papilloma virus infection, angiogenesis and cellular infiltrate in premalignant and malignant lesions of uterine cervix. 58 samples of cervix were obtained from patients of the ambulatory “Maria Teresa Toro” Aragua, Venezuela, with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and human papillomavirus...
