Spontaneous regression of a pulmonary adenocarcinoma after core needle biopsy

Spontaneous regression of a pulmonary adenocarcinoma after core needle biopsy

Spontaneous regression (SR) of cancer, especially lung cancer, is a rare biological event with a mechanism that is not currently understood. Immunological mechanisms seem to be the stronger explanation in SR of a lung cancer. We report the rare case of SR of a lung adenocarcinoma stage IA, in a 75-y...
