Detection of circulating tumor cells in patients with lung cancer using a Rare Cell Sorter: a pilot study Open
Background We developed a Rare Cell Sorter (RCS) for collecting single cell including circulating tumor cells (CTCs). This single-institution pilot study evaluated the ability of this device to detect tumor-like cells in patients with lung…

A case of a shrunken multilocular mediastinal cyst that developed into thymic carcinoma with lung metastases 13 years later Open
Multilocular thymic cysts (MTC) are acquired multilocular cysts caused by inflammation. The rarity of such lesions and a lack of recognition make diagnosis and treatment difficult. Herein, we present our experience with a multilocular medi…

Risk factors of middle lobe bronchus kinking following right upper lobectomy Open
The risk of middle lobe bronchus kinking could be assessed preoperatively by calculating the volume ratio of RML/RTC and RML/RUL. The displacement of RML could be associated with the incidence of middle lobe bronchus kinking.
