Spontaneous regression of cancers is extremely rare and is associated with specific malignancies. Spontaneous regression of bronchogenic lung cancer has rarely been reported, and regression of small cell lung cancer is even less common. Such regression is generally ascribed to immunological factors but is not well understood. This case report describes a patient with spontaneous regression of small cell lung cancer that has persisted for 11 years and considers possible mechanisms.
Multi-membered N-heterocycles R 0690An Efficient Solution Phase Synthesis of Triazadibenzoazulenones: "Designer Isonitrile Free" Methodology Enabled by Microwaves. -A concise two-step solution-phase synthesis of title compounds (V) is achieved through a microwave-promoted four-component condensation to form bisamides of type (VI) followed by TFA-promoted cyclocondensation. The process does not require the use of a specially designed isonitrile. -(HULME*, C.; CHAPPETA, S.; GRIFFITH, C.; LEE, Y.-S.; DIETRICH, J.; Tetrahedron Lett. 50 (2009) 17, 1939-1942; BIO5 Inst., Coll.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
