Silica-induced pleural disease: an unusual case mimicking malignant mesothelioma.

abstract：:Patients with regionally extensive non-small cell lung cancer (predominantly by virtue of metastases to mediastinal lymph nodes, less commonly by direct extension into the mediastinum) were treated predominantly with chest radiation therapy alone until the early 1980s. At that time, because of the high local recurrenc...
