Background: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is characterized by cystic lung destruction, kidney angiomyolipomas (AMLs), and LAM cell growth within the axial lymphatics and multiple other organs and surfaces. LAM occurs both sporadically and in association with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).
It has long been recognised that there is an association between chronic immune activation and cancer but the mechanisms behind this observation are not fully understood. The inflammatory process may provide an environment for development of malignant disease, with mediators of inflammatory response

The most common clinical course of the patient with cancer is local tumor progression leading to the development of metastases, systemic inflammation and the ensuing symptom cluster known as anorexia-cachexia syndrome. This syndrome includes cachexia (anorexia, weight loss and muscle wasting),
OBJECTIVES:
- To assess cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and correlate the results with serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels, tumor microvessel density score, tumor prostaglandin E2 (PGE_2) and matrix
