Background
Aspergillus nodules are classified as a subset of chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. The optimal management approach is not known as their natural evolution following biopsy, the rate of progression to chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis (CCPA) and the effect of antifungal treatment have not been described.
Objectives
To describe the clinical course of patients diagnosed with Aspergillus...
Objective
The aim of this research is to investigate the feasibility of folate receptor‐positive circulating tumor cells (FR+CTCs) as a biomarker for the diagnosis of malignant pulmonary nodules and the correlation between clinicopathological factors and FR+CTC levels.
Methods
Patients initially diagnosed with one or more pulmonary nodules from a computed tomography scan were prospectively included...
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide and contributes to most cancer‐related morbidity and mortality cases. During the past decades, the rapid development of nanotechnology has provided opportunities and challenges for lung cancer diagnosis and therapeutics. As one of the most extensively studied nanostructures, metal nanoparticles obtain higher satisfaction in biomedical applications...
