Int J Cancer . 2015 Sep; 138(4):983-91. PMID: 26348770
There is a well-established link between inflammation and cancer of various organs, but little data are available on inflammation-associated markers of diagnostic and prognostic clinical utility in pulmonary malignancy. Blood...

Am J Respir Crit Care Med . 2015 Mar; 191(10):1166-75. PMID: 25760561
Rationale: Screening for lung cancer with low-dose spiral computed tomography (LDCT) has been shown to reduce lung cancer mortality by 20% compared with screening with chest X-ray (CXR) in the...

Rizzardi G, Arena V, Passera E, Bortolotti L
Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg . 2013 Sep; 17(6):1054-5. PMID: 23996733
We report a very rare case of malignant invasive thymoma with intraluminal growth through the thymic veins into the superior vena cava (SVC), with intracardiac right atrium extension. A 44-year...

Passera E, Rizzi A, Robustellini M, Rossi G, Della Pona C, Massera F, et al.
Thorac Surg Clin . 2012 Jul; 22(3):345-61. PMID: 22789598
Aspergillomas are fungal balls within lung cavities. The natural history is variable. Hemoptysis is a dangerous sequela. Medical therapy is ineffective because of the lack of a lesion blood supply....

Rocco G, Cecere C, La Rocca A, Martucci N, Salvi R, Passera E, et al.
Eur J Cardiothorac Surg . 2012 Jan; 41(5):1069-71. PMID: 22219471
Objectives: Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) of chronic empyemas can potentially set challenging patients free of prolonged hospitalization by warranting outpatient care. We wanted to test this concept in post-pneumonectomy empyema patients....

Passera E, Guanella G, Meroni A, Chiesa G, Rizzi A, Rocco G
Ann Thorac Surg . 2011 Aug; 92(2):e23-5. PMID: 21801895
We present a case of lower bilobectomy complicated by a large bronchopleural fistula and empyema 1 month after primary surgery. The patient was immediately treated with an open window thoracostomy....

Infante M, Chiesa G, Solomon D, Morenghi E, Passera E, Lutman F, et al.
J Thorac Oncol . 2010 Dec; 6(2):327-35. PMID: 21178639
Background: The patient population derived from lung cancer screening programs with low-dose spiral computed tomography (LDCT) is different from the general population accessing thoracic surgical services. Methods: Retrospective review of...

Infante M, Cavuto S, Lutman F, Brambilla G, Chiesa G, Ceresoli G, et al.
Am J Respir Crit Care Med . 2009 Jun; 180(5):445-53. PMID: 19520905
Rationale: Screening for lung cancer with modern imaging technology may decrease lung cancer mortality, but encouraging results have only been obtained in uncontrolled studies. Objectives: To explore the effect of...

Infante M, Lutman F, Cavuto S, Brambilla G, Chiesa G, Passera E, et al.
Lung Cancer . 2007 Oct; 59(3):355-63. PMID: 17936405
Background: Despite the high survival rates reported for screening-detected cases, the potential of screening of high-risk subjects for reducing lung cancer mortality is still unproven. We herewith present the baseline...

Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg . 2007 Aug; 2(3):251-5. PMID: 17670040
We prospectively audited the implementation of a protocol for management of air-leaks and intercostal drains after thoracic surgical procedures. Out of the 99 patients who underwent thoracic surgical procedures during...
