in the
lungs.
Lewin knew that some rare Asian worms form benign cysts
in the
lung, so he suggested the man get a
biopsy before planning an operation.
«Reading small
lung transplant
biopsies with a microscope is challenging — much more so than other transplantable organs — and that makes diagnosing rejection that much more difficult and prone to error,» explained Kieran Halloran, assistant professor of medicine
in the U of A's Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry.
If the finding that resident memory T cells are the most potent mediators of immunity holds up
in different types of cancer, which I think it will, you could take a
biopsy of the
lung or the pancreas, for example, to see if there are resident T cells there.
The development of instruments and mechanisms that can reliably reach the target
in the
lungs is required for adequately testing with an endoscope, but the looming challenge was finding a mechanism to reliably advance the
biopsy forceps to the target even inside the ultrafine and widely branching bronchi.
The IntelliPlexTM
Lung Cancer Panel assesses the status of 57 somatic mutations and gene re-arrangements
in liquid
biopsy samples.
Inclusion Criteria: • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 • Have histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced or metastatic non-small cell
lung cancer (NSCLC)(Stage IIIb or greater) • Measurable disease, as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria
in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 • Known PD - L1 tumor status as determined by an immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay performed by the central laboratory on tissue obtained at Screening • A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative highly sensitive serum (beta - human chorionic gonadotropin [beta - hCG]-RRB- at Screening within 14 days prior to study drug administration Inclusion Criteria for Crossover: • Participants must have been randomized to Arm A of the study and had radiographic disease progression according to RECIST 1.1 • Participants must have a mandatory
biopsy at the time of disease progression according to RECIST 1.1 prior to crossing over.
DENVER — Three manuscripts published
in the recent issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology, the official journal of the International Association for the Study of
Lung Cancer (IASLC), explored the versatility of liquid biopsies by identifying EGFR mutations using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in urine and plasma and examining circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in plasma to predict the risk of lung cancer recurrence after surgical resect

«This is the first time anyone has generated potentially therapeutic
lung stem cells from minimally invasive
biopsy specimens,» said co-senior author of both papers Jason Lobo, MD, an assistant professor of medicine at UNC and medical director of
lung transplant and interstitial
lung disease.Co - senior author Ke Cheng, PhD, an associate professor
in NCSU's Department of Molecular Biomedical Sciences and the UNC / NCSU Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering, said, «We think the properties of these cells make them potentially therapeutic for a wide range of
lung fibrosis diseases.»
Cheng and Lobo have focused on a set of stem cells and support cells that reside
in the
lungs and can be reliably cultured from
biopsied lung tissue.
In the first of the two new studies, Lobo and his team showed that they could obtain
lung spheroid cells from human
lung disease patients with a relatively non-invasive procedure called a transbronchial
biopsy.
Except that the grainy spot on his X-ray wasn't cancer, a
biopsy revealed: It was actually a pea seed
in his
lung that had split and begun to sprout.

Dirofiliaria are important medical parasites, but diagnosis is unusual and is often only made after an infected person happens to have a chest X-ray following granuloma formation
in the
lung; the nodule may be large enough to resemble
lung cancer on the X-ray and require a
biopsy for a pathologic assessment.
The veterinary team at River Trail Animal Hospital is highly skilled
in the use of an endoscope for procedures of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, foreign body removal without surgery, and examination and
biopsy of the nasal area and
lungs.
Other tests the veterinarian will likely perform are radiographs (x-rays) of the chest and abdomen, echocardiogram (EKG), endoscopy, nasal and throat swab culture, and a fine needle
biopsy of the fluid
in the
lungs and chest cavity if necessary.
