Surgery and Stereotactic Radiotherapy for Stage I Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma: A 25-Year Experience Open
Our single-institutional experience over 25 years demonstrates that local treatment with surgery or SBRT for clinical stage I SCLC is safe and effective, with survivals lower than similar stage non-small-cell carcinoma patients. However, o…

Complement gene variant effect on relapse of complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy after eculizumab cessation Open
Eculizumab is effective for complement-mediated thrombotic microangiopathy (CM-TMA), also known as atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. Although lifelong therapy had been suggested, discontinuation does not universally lead to relapse. Comp…
