The prognosis for lung cancer is relatively poor and 75% of patients are diagnosed at its advanced stage. The currently used diagnostic tools are not sensitive enough and do not enable diagnosis at the early stage of the disease. Therefore, searching for new methods of early and accurate diagnosis of lung cancer is crucial for its effective treatment. Lung cancer is the result of multistage carcinogenesis with gradually increasing genetic and epigenetic changes. Screening for the characteristic genetic markers could enable the diagnosis of lung cancer at its early stage. The aim of this review was the summarization of both the preclinical and clinical approaches in the genetic diagnostics of lung cancer. The advancement of molecular strategies and analytic platforms makes it possible to analyze the genome changes leading to cancer development—i.e., the potential biomarkers of lung cancer.

The quality of the smear depends on cell sampling, fixation and staining. For obtaining enough cervical material you are dependent on the cell sampler. For cervical cytology two types of specimen are available: conventional smears and liquid based cytology (LBC). Conventional, Thinprep and Surepath slides In conventional cytology the cell sampler makes the smear and is responsible for the fixation of the cells. Reasons for unsatisfactory conventional smears can be obscuring blood or inflammatory cells, thick smears with overlapping cells, poor preservation of the cells due to late fixation and low cellularity. In LBC the cell sampler immediately transferred the cellular material into a vial with fixative (fixating solution) which gives a better preservation of the cells. The laboratory is responsible for processing of the smear. LBC gives equally distribution of the cells in a thin cell layer of well preserved cells. The rate of unsatisfactory smears is lower.

  • Reactive and Non-Proliferative Lesions
    Last updated: 5/16/2020 Prepared by Kurt Schaberg Reactive and Non-Proliferative Lesions Non-Proliferative Lesions Fibrocystic Change Most common non-proliferative lesion of the breast! No significant increased risk of cancer. Cysts = fluid filled, dilated terminal duct lobular units. Still have inner epithelial and outer myoepithelial cells. Epithelium may be markedly attenuated. Frequent apocrine metaplasia. Rarely squamous metaplasia May contain calcifications Cyst walls often contain areas of fibrosis Apocrine metaplasia = enlarged epithelial cells with abundant, granular, eosinophilic cytoplasm and apical luminal blebbing. Round nuclei with prominent nucleoli. Can sometimes be papillary. Can enhance on MRI. ER (-), AR (+). Sometimes fewer myoeps. Inflammatory/Reactive Lesions Biopsy Site Changes Changes after a biopsy/prior surgery. Frequent changes include: Organizing hemorrhage (with hemosiderin laden macrophages and blood) Fat necrosis (with foamy macrophages) Foreign body giant cells and/or foreign material Granulation tissue Scarring/fibrosis Acute and chronic inflammation Squamous metaplasia Pitfall Warning: After a biopsy, there can be “epithelial displacement” where epithelium (benign or atypical) can be found within the stroma and/or vascular spaces! This is particularly common with papillary lesions. This can result in the erroneous diagnosis of invasive carcinoma. When the epithelial fragments are confined to biopsy site, a diagnosis of epithelial displacement should be favored! A diagnosis of invasive carcinoma should

Thirty-seven (16%) tracheas from 2170 children showed squamous metaplasia. (Cases with tracheo-oesophageal fistula and congenital heart disease were excluded.) The metaplasia extended into the bronchi in 15 cases. Features of pulmonary retention were present in seven cases. Respiratory infection, probably viral, seemed to be the most significant causative factor in 20 children, including those with cystic fibrosis. Tracheal instrumentation was a possible factor in 11 cases but oxygen therapy alone did not seem important. The metaplasia was almost certainly congenital in one child and probably in two others but no stillborn infants showed metaplasia. In many children the metaplasia seemed to be due to a combination of factors. Squamous metaplasia of the trachea in childhood Tracheas from children with tracheo-oesophageal has been described in cases of measles (Gold- fistula and those with congenital heart disease or zieher, 1918), influenza (Askanazy, 1919), cystic other gross deformities were excluded.

  • Chapter 1 Cellular Reaction to Injury 3
    Schneider_CH01-001-016.qxd 5/1/08 10:52 AM Page 1 chapter Cellular Reaction 1 to Injury I. ADAPTATION TO ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS A. Hypertrophy 1. Hypertrophy is an increase in the size of an organ or tissue due to an increase in the size of cells. 2. Other characteristics include an increase in protein synthesis and an increase in the size or number of intracellular organelles. 3. A cellular adaptation to increased workload results in hypertrophy, as exemplified by the increase in skeletal muscle mass associated with exercise and the enlargement of the left ventricle in hypertensive heart disease. B. Hyperplasia 1. Hyperplasia is an increase in the size of an organ or tissue caused by an increase in the number of cells. 2. It is exemplified by glandular proliferation in the breast during pregnancy. 3. In some cases, hyperplasia occurs together with hypertrophy. During pregnancy, uterine enlargement is caused by both hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the smooth muscle cells in the uterus. C. Aplasia 1. Aplasia is a failure of cell production. 2. During fetal development, aplasia results in agenesis, or absence of an organ due to failure of production. 3. Later in life, it can be caused by permanent loss of precursor cells in proliferative tissues, such as the bone marrow. D. Hypoplasia 1. Hypoplasia is a decrease in cell production that is less extreme than in aplasia. 2. It is seen in the partial lack of growth and maturation of gonadal structures in Turner syndrome and Klinefelter syndrome. E. Atrophy 1. Atrophy is a decrease in the size of an organ or tissue and results from a decrease in the mass of preexisting cells (Figure 1-1).
