Pulmonary Tuberculosis III01:31

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

1.3K
Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

611
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

7.8K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

813
Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Other Pulmonary Disorders01:17

Other Pulmonary Disorders

1.9K
Respiratory disorders encompass a range of conditions with varying levels of severity. Asthma, marked by chronic airway inflammation and hypersensitivity, is one such condition. It can lead to airway obstruction due to factors like bronchial spasms, mucosal edema, increased mucus secretion, or epithelial damage. Asthma triggers are diverse, ranging from allergens to emotional upset, and treatment focuses on both immediate relief through bronchodilators and long-term inflammation suppression.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Medical Diagnostics
  • Cancer Research

Background:

  • The Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) classification is standard for tumor staging.
  • The 7th edition of the TNM classification for lung cancer, implemented in 2010, introduced significant changes based on anatomical data.
  • This edition, however, does not incorporate other prognostic indicators like histology or molecular factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the development of the 8th TNM classification for lung cancer.
  • To highlight the limitations of the current anatomical-based staging system.
  • To emphasize the need for a more comprehensive staging system incorporating diverse prognostic factors.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a prospective database by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC).
  • Enrollment of patients globally to gather comprehensive data.
  • Analysis of anatomical information alongside other prognosticators.

Main Results:

  • The 7th TNM edition is based on a large international retrospective database.
  • Significant revisions were made to T, N, and M factors, including new subcategories.
  • The current system relies solely on anatomical information.

Conclusions:

  • The 8th TNM classification aims to enhance lung cancer staging accuracy.
  • Future iterations may integrate histology, demographic, and molecular data.
  • Participation in the IASLC prospective database is crucial for advancing lung cancer staging.
