BACKGROUND: To examine whether segmentectomy is radical for cT1N0M0 non–small cell
lung cancer (NSCLC), a prospective single-arm study was performed at a single institution. …

Genome-wide DNA hypomethylation and gene hypermethylation play important roles in
instability and carcinogenesis. Methylation in long interspersed nucleotide element 1 (LINE-1) is …

OBJECTIVES A precise preoperative diagnosis of ‘very early’ lung carcinoma may identify
patients who can undergo curative surgery with limited resections. METHODS Data from a …

Purpose: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is known to reduce the severity of
pain after surgery. However, it has not yet been established whether epidural anesthesia/…

OBJECTIVES Although some retrospective studies have reported clinicopathological scoring
systems for predicting postoperative complications and survival outcomes for elderly lung …

OBJECTIVE: The impact of segmentectomy for preservation of pulmonary function was
quantified by using a co-registered perfusion single-photon-emission computed tomography and …

Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine the optimal method of predicting
postoperative pulmonary function (PPF) after lung lobectomy. Methods: The forced expiratory …

Insulin‐like growth factor‐II mRNA binding protein 3 (IMP‐3) is an oncofetal protein expressed
in various malignancies including lung cancer. This study aimed to identify immunogenic …

We investigate the possibility of distinction of individual atom species using noncontact atomic
force microscopy (NC-AFM) combined with the electrostatic force (ESF) measurement. We …

The Master Curve approach for the fracture toughness evaluation is expected to be a powerful
tool to ensure the reliability of long-term used RPV steels. In order to get sufficient number …
