- W2067884735 abstract "Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide; however, despite major advances in cancer treatment during the past two decades, the prognostic outcome of lung cancer patients has improved only minimally. This is largely due to the inadequacy of the traditional screening approach, which detects only well-established overt cancers and fails to identify precursor lesions in premalignant conditions of the bronchial tree. In recent years this situation has fundamentally changed with the identification of molecular abnormalities characteristic of premalignant changes; these concern tumour suppressor genes, loss of heterozygosity at crucial sites and activation of oncogenes. After considering the morphological modifications that occur in premalignant lesions of the bronchial tree, we analyse the alterations occurring in a series of relevant genes: p53 and its functional regulation by MDM2 and p14ARF, p16INK4, p15INK4b, FHIT, as well as LOH at important sites such as 3p, 8p, 9p and 5q. Activation of oncogenes is considered for K-ras, the cyclin D1, the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1 (hnRNPA2/B1), and finally the c-myc oncogene. The expression of c-myc is influenced strongly by the presence of growth factors (GFs), among which EGF is of prime importance, as well as its receptor coded for by the c-erbB-2 oncogene. Basic knowledge at the molecular level has extremely important clinical implications with regard to early diagnosis, risk assessment and prevention, and therapeutic targets. The novel techniques for early diagnosis and screening of premalignant lung lesions, such as fluorescence bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound, spiral computed tomography combined with precise spatial localization techniques, should basically change the approach to the problems raised by this disease and allow for an increased discovery rate of incipient lesions. Sequential applications will lead to the identification of individuals/populations at high risk, while the availability of accurate 'intermediate end points' will enable the effects of preventive trials to be monitored. Finally, the same molecular abnormalities may serve as 'starting points' for innovative treatments designed to restore the altered functions to normality. Recent developments in our knowledge and understanding of the molecular genetic abnormalities in premalignant lung lesions open an era of hope." @default.
