Merkel cell polyomavirus in non-small cell lung carcinomas from Chile
(2012)
Lung cancer is a leading pathology strongly associated with the smoking habit. However, a viral etiology for a subset of patients developing lung cancer has been suggested. Polyomaviruses (PyVs) are small double stranded ...

(Universidad de Chile, 2013)
Background: PET/CT (Positron emission tomography/computed tomography) is a hybrid image modality widely used in oncology, for staging, therapy evaluation or follow up. Aim: To evaluate the prognostic value of PET/CT in ...
Muscarinic receptors associated with cancer
(MDPI, 2022)
Simple Summary Recently, cancer research has described the presence of the cholinergic machinery, specifically muscarinic receptors, in a wide variety of cancers due to their activation and signaling pathways associated ...
Smoking habit and genetic factors associated with lung cancer in a population highly exposed to arsenic
(ELSEVIER, 2005-10-15)
In order to find some relationship between genetic differences in metabolic activation and detoxification of environmental carcinogens and host susceptibility to chemically induced cancers, we have investigated the ...
Obesity and excess weight in early adulthood and high risks of arsenic-related cancer in later life

Background: Elevated body mass index (BMI) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and other diseases. Inflammation or oxidative stress induced by high BMI may explain some of these effects. Millions ...
Association between p53 codon 72 genetic polymorphism and tobacco use and lung cancer risk
(2009)
Lung cancer (LCa) is the leading cause of death by cancer in men. Genetic and environmental factors play a synergistic role in its etiology. We explore in 111 lung cancer cases and 133 unrelated noncancer controls the ...
Characteristics and outcome of patients with newly diagnosed advanced or metastatic lung cancer admitted to intensive care units (ICUs)
(Springer, 2018-08-04)

Enhanced anti-cancer activity of chitosan loaded Morinda citrifolia essential oil against A549 human lung cancer cells
(Elsevier, 2020)
In the present study, the chemical composition of Morinda citrifolia essential oils was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and was found to contain several anti-cancer compounds including L-scopoletin, ...
Smoking and Lung Cancer: Attributable risks according to gender Tabaquismo activo y cancer pulmonar: Determinación de fracciones atribuibles por sexo
(2008)
Background: The association between Lung Cancer and smoking is well documented. However there is less information about the estimation of its attributable fraction and population burden. Aim: To estímate the attributable ...
