Membrane fluidity characteristics of human lung cancer

M Sok, M Šentjurc, M Schara - Cancer letters, 1999 - Elsevier
Membrane fluidity of non-cultured lung cancer tissue was studied by electron paramagnetic
resonance (EPR). EPR spectra of a lipophilic spin probe in a tissue of resected tumor …

Objective assessment of WHO/ECOG performance status

M Sok, M Zavrl, B Greif, M Srpčič - Supportive Care in Cancer, 2019 - Springer
Purpose Performance status is an important factor in determining quality of life, the choice of
treatment, and prognostic tool in patients. All scoring systems currently in use measure the …

Cell membrane fluidity and prognosis of lung cancer

M Sok, M Šentjurc, M Schara, J Stare, T Rott - The Annals of thoracic …, 2002 - Elsevier
Background. Membranes of tumor cells have been found to posses higher fluidity than
membranes of nontumor cells. Plasma membrane fluidity is significantly correlated with malignant …

Increased fatty acid synthase activity in non-small cell lung cancer tissue is a weaker predictor of shorter patient survival than increased lipoprotein lipase activity

D Cerne, IP Zitnik, M Sok - Archives of medical research, 2010 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Cumulative evidence suggests the involvement of fatty acid
synthase (FAS) in tumor growth. We tested the hypothesis that increased FAS activity and gene …

Lipoprotein lipase activity and gene expression in lung cancer and in adjacent noncancer lung tissue

D Černe, E Melkič, Z Trošt, M Sok… - Experimental lung …, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
The authors tested the hypothesis that lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene expression and enzyme
activity are increased in lung cancer tissue, as compared to adjacent, apparently healthy, …

Increased apolipoprotein E gene expression and protein concentration in lung cancer tissue do not contribute to the clinical assessment of non-small cell lung cancer …

Z Trost, J Marc, M Sok, D Cerne - Archives of medical research, 2008 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: We tested the hypothesis that apolipoprotein E (apo E) gene expression
and protein concentration are increased in resectable non-small cell lung cancer tissue and …

Increased lipoprotein lipase activity in non-small cell lung cancer tissue predicts shorter patient survival

Z Trost, M Sok, J Marc, D Cerne - Archives of medical research, 2009 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Cumulative evidence suggests the involvement of lipoprotein
lipase (LPL) in tumor progression. We tested the hypothesis that increased LPL activity in …

Lipoprotein lipase in non-small cell lung cancer tissue is highly expressed in a subpopulation of tumor-associated macrophages

H Podgornik, M Sok, I Kern, J Marc, D Cerne - Pathology-Research and …, 2013 - Elsevier
High lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue strongly
predicts shorter patient survival. We tested the hypothesis that in NSCLC tissue, …
