Q: For a patient with a history of heavy smoking and a new solitary pulmonary nodule, which biomarker might be measured to help differentiate small cell lung cancer (SCLC) from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)?
Did You Know?
True. HCV Core protein contributes to oncogenesis through multiple mechanisms. One important mechanism is the constitutive activation of the STAT3 transcription factor. Activated STAT3 promotes cell proliferation and survival, and inhibits apoptosis. This, combined with the chronic inflammatory milieu of hepatitis, contributes to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma in HCV-infected individuals.
