    Lung cancer is one of the deadly cancer types, and almost 85\% of lung cancers are nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the present study we investigated classification and feature selection methods for the differentiation of two subtypes of NSCLC, namely adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC). The major advances in understanding the effects of therapy agents suggest that future targeted therapies will be increasingly subtype specific. We obtained positron emission tomography (PET) images of 93 patients with NSCLC, 39 of which had ADC while the rest had SqCC. Random walk segmentation was applied to delineate three-dimensional tumor volume, and 39 texture features were extracted to grade the tumor subtypes. We examined 11 classifiers with two different feature selection methods and the effect of normalization on accuracy. The classifiers we used were the k-nearest-neighbor, logistic regression, support vector machine, Bayesian network, decision tree, radial basis function network, random forest, AdaBoostM1, and three stacking methods. To evaluate the prediction accuracy we performed a leave-one-out cross-validation experiment on the dataset. We also considered optimizing certain hyperparameters of these models by performing 10-fold cross-validation separately on each training set. We found that the stacking ensemble classifier, which combines a decision tree, AdaBoostM1, and logistic regression methods by a metalearner, was the most accurate method for detecting subtypes of NSCLC, and normalization of feature sets improved the accuracy of the classification method.

    Cigarette Smoking Increases Pregnancy-associated Plasma Protein-A in Men
    (UNIV WEST INDIES FACULTY MEDICAL SCIENCES, 2017-01-01) Coskun, A.; Bulut, I.; Serteser, M.; Eren, A.; Ozseker, Z. F.; Cuhadaroglu, C.; Aksungar, F. B.; Ozpinar, A.; Can, O.; Yakar I, H.; Unsal, I.
    Objective: Elevation of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), a pro-atherosclerotic molecule, has been shown to be an independent risk factor for acute coronary syndrome. Smoking is also an important risk factor for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the molecular mechanism of this relationship is not clear. In the present study, we aimed to determine the association between smoking and serum PAPP-A levels in men and non-pregnant women. Method: The study population consisted of 112 smokers and 58 age-matched non-smoking healthy subjects as a control group. Blood samples were drawn from the antecubital vein of all subjects and serum PAPP-A levels were measured using an ELISA kit (ultrasensitive ELISA). Results: The serum PAPP-A level was significantly high in male smokers (smokers: 9.11 ng/mL (3.10 ng/mL, 18.55 ng/mL))

    Three Cases of Breast Metastases from Lung Cancer and Systematic Review of the Literature
    (GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2021-01-01) Guldogan, Nilgun; Icten, Gul Esen; Tokat, Fatma; Tutar, Burcin; Kara, Halil; Korkmaz, Taner; Uluc, Basak Oyan; Demir, Gokhan
    Despite the high prevalence of lung cancer among other primary tumors, metastasis of this particular malignancy in the breast is very rare. We report three new cases of lung cancer with breast metastases and discuss radiological and clinical findings. Radiologically, each case displayed different characteristics. First, one of them had bilateral superficially and deeply located irregular lesions. Second, the patient presented with findings similar to inflammatory breast cancer. The third case had a circumscribed mass, resembling a benign complicated cyst. To guide clinicians for proper patient management, radiologists should be aware of the scope of typical and atypical imaging findings of metastatic involvement of the breast.
