Spontaneous Regression of Squamous Cell Lung Carcinoma with Adrenal Metastasis

Spontaneous Regression of Pulmonary Lymphoepithelioma-Like Carcinoma

“…Infection, trauma, surgery, biopsy, bleeding, and blood transfusion may elicit this immunologic reaction against the cancer. Intense medication with hormonal or immunologic agents has also been reported to be associated with spontaneous regression [6].…”

Spontaneous Regression of Large Cell Carcinoma of the Lung, a Case Report

“…SR seems even more uncommon in NSCLC [4,5,17]. To our knowledge only 15 cases of SR of NSCLC have been described in the literature [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The mechanisms for spontaneous regression are entirely hypothetical and the pathophysiology remains unclear.…”

“…Most of these cases concerned metastatic disease of malignancies that originated outside the thoracic cavity such as renal cell carcinoma (60%), hepatocellular carcinoma, endometrial stromal sarcoma, pleomorphic liposarcoma, esophageal cancer and leiomyosarcoma [5]. Only a few case reports described spontaneous regression of primary thoracic malignancies [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Here, we report on a case of spontaneous regression of pathologically proven non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).…”

Deep neck abscess as the predominant initial presentation of carcinoma of unknown primary: A case report

“…In the present case, there was no indication of the primary tumor. Thus, it was hypothesized that the tumor had receded as a result of spontaneous regression by apoptosis or immune-modulated destruction, following metastasis to the local lymph nodes (9,10). Alternatively, the tumor may have been too small for accurate sampling (11).…”
