Defining central tumours to predict occult mediastinal metastasis in nonsmall cell lung cancer patients
This ERJ article compares seven definitions of central tumour, and recommends a definition using the inner one-third of the hemithorax, adopted by drawing concentric lines from the midline. This is useful to predict occult N2 disease in NSCLC patients.
COPD biomarkers and phenotypes offer opportunities for precision imaging
A new series in the ERJ examines current controversies and advances in COPD. As part of this series, this article discusses how recent advances in thoracic imaging may be used for the early detection of disease and targeted treatment for patients.
BMP9 and 10 emerge from the genome in pulmonary arterial hypertension
Two studies published in the ERJ confirm the role of BMP9 mutations as a cause of heritable PAH and provide the first evidence that mutations in BMP10 might also be causal. These new findings have relevance for the development of new treatments for PAH.
Soluble PD-L1 as a marker for melanoma aggressiveness in obstructive sleep apnoea patients
A study published in the ERJ finds that soluble PD-L1 levels are increased in melanoma patients with severe obstructive sleep apnoea, and may serve as a potential biomarker of cutaneous melanoma aggressiveness and invasiveness in this patient group
