Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) is characterised by the accumulation of numerous
pigmented macrophages within most of the distal airspace of the lung and, sometimes, the …

Wound age evaluation is one of the most challenging issues in forensic pathology. In the first
minutes or hours, standard histological examination may not determine whether the wound …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a risk factor for lung cancer. Migration of
circulating tumor cells (CTCs) into the blood stream is an early event that occurs during …

Purpose: Pathologic TNM staging is currently the best prognostic factor for non‐small cell
