Another interesting study is called, Immunohistochemical staining for keratin and carcinoembryonic antigen in the diagnosis of malignant Mesothelioma by Holden, Janet M.D.; Churg, Andrew M.D. - American Journal of Surgical Pathology: April 1984 - Volume 8 - Issue 4. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - Using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue and commercial antisera, we evaluated the usefulness of immunohistochemical staining for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and keratin in the diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma. All 18 adenocarcinomas of lung examined stained for CEA, usually strongly, while only eight of 22 mesotheliomas stained for CEA and the staining was generally weak. Staining for keratin was observed in 10 of 22 mesotheliomas and 12 of 18 adenocarcinomas; there were no differences in intensity of staining between the groups. We conclude that strong diffuse staining for CEA favors a diagnosis of carcinoma, and negative staining for CEA is against a diagnosis of carcinoma, but these are relative and not absolute criteria. We find that staining for keratin is of no use in distinguishing these types of tumors.Another interesting study is called, Extrapleural pneumonectomy,...more

Cancer has always relate to loss and fear. With today's new improvements in prevention, detection and treatment, a diagnosis of cancer no longer necessarily means facing a terminal disease. Rather, as new advances provide more treatment options, cancer increasingly takes on the shape of a chronic condition.Recently, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) announced that leading cancer organizations report that Americans' risk of dying from cancer continues to decreace, indicating that progress in prevention, early detection, and newer treatments appear to be helping in the fight against this disease.The next revolution in cancer therapy will likely find its roots in the ongoing Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), a pilot project initiated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). Scientists have begun to find out that numerous genes play an essential role in cancer, but they have only found out a small portion of these genes.The Cancer Genome Atlas is aimed at helping to accelerate the understanding of the genetic make-up of cancer. Researchers hope that a better understanding of how cancer cells grow and develop, will lead...more
