Abstract:
Parathyrin concentration was determined in lung cancer patients prior to and after operation by using a radiological method. A preoperative elevated level of parathyrin was noted in 60.4% of the patients. Radical surgery resulted in the return of the parathyrin level to normal, and toxic effects caused by chemotherapy were accompanied by its sharp increase. A similar increase in the parathyrin level attends generalization of a tumor process.

02:49Cancer Therapies
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Pneumothorax is a medical condition defined by the buildup of air in the pleural space between the lungs and the chest wall. This accumulation of air can lead to partial or complete lung collapse, resulting in a range of clinical manifestations. Understanding the clinical presentation and effective management strategies is crucial for healthcare professionals in providing timely and appropriate care to individuals with pneumothorax.
