Women smokers have higher risk of lung cancer than men smokers, though lower lung cancer death rate
Women who smoke appear to be more susceptible to lung cancer than men who smoke, though women smokers have a lower rate of lung cancer-related death. view more (2006-07-12)
Researchers ID gene linked to lung cancer
Researchers at Johns Hopkins, as part of a large, multi-institutional study, have found one gene variant that is linked to an increased risk of lung cancer. The study will be published in the April 3 issue of Nature Genetics. view more (2008-04-03)
Researchers determine predicting factors of positive lung cancer diagnoses in chest radiographs
A study published in the June 2009 issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology determined several predictors of a positive lung cancer diagnosis after having an abnormal chest x-ray. view more (2009-06-02)
Knee arthritis link to lung cancer
Arthritis of the knee may be the first sign of a type of lung cancer that is hard to treat in heavy smokers, suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2007-09-04)
Triple Risk For Smokers With Faulty Gene
Smokers who inherit a particular genetic trait could triple their chances of getting lung cancer according to a report in the British Journal of Cancer.* While tobacco is the biggest cause of lung cancer. the risk of developing it varies. This has led scientists to believe that genetics may have a crucial role in deciding who is most susceptible... view more... (2002-07-09)
Researchers develop new method to test for lung cancer
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine have developed a new "clinicogenomic model" to accurately test for lung cancer. view more (2008-04-02)
Passive smoke in workplace increases lung cancer risk
An analysis of nearly two dozen studies confirms the association between passive smoke in the workplace and an increased risk of lung cancer. view more (2007-02-01)
Targeting lung cancer
As reported in the June 1 issue of G&D, Drs. Katerina Politi, Harold Varmus and colleagues at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York have developed a novel animal model of lung adenocarcinoma that will be of great use in testing the efficacy of targeted therapies against human lung cancer. view more (2006-05-18)
Genetic mutation associated with increased risk of lung cancer
Carriers of a common genetic disorder previously linked to lung disease may have a 70-percent to 100-percent increased risk of lung cancer, according to a report in the May 26 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-05-27)
Low tar cigarettes do not cut lung cancer risk
The risk of lung cancer is no different in people who smoke medium tar cigarettes, low tar cigarettes, or very low tar cigarettes, concludes new research from the United States. Researchers analysed the relation between the tar rating of the brand of cigarette smoked in 1982 and death from lung cancer over six years among 364,239 men and 576,535... view more... (2004-01-10)
New biomarkers for lung cancer
Rubén P'o, researcher at the University of Navarre, has carried out a study of biomarkers for detecting lung cancer. In recognition of this work, he has been awarded the 2004-06 prize for applied lung cancer research by the American Association for Cancer Research and the Foundation for Research into and Prevention of Cancer. Of the thirty... view more... (2004-06-08)
Patients with lung cancer in Scotland continue to miss out on treatment
Patients with lung cancer in Scotland are not getting the treatment they need, shows a study in Thorax. Only around four out of 10 people eligible for curative treatment received it, and those under 60 were five times more likely to be aggressively treated than patients in their seventies. Over 4500 people are diagnosed with the disease every year... view more... (2001-02-14)
Pre-eclampsia linked to increased cancer risk
Women with a history of pre-eclampsia are at increased risk of cancer, particularly cancers of the stomach, breast, ovary, lung, and larynx, shows new research from Israel. This study will be available on bmj.com on Friday 5 March 2004. Previous studies have shown either no association or have suggested a protective association between... view more... (2004-03-03)
Fox Chase researchers identify differences in treatments and outcomes of patients with second primary lung cancers versus those with one primary lung cancer
Patients with second primary lung cancers (SPLC), when compared to those with one primary lung cancer (OPLC), are more likely to have localized disease at the time of diagnosis and are more likely to receive surgical treatment rather than radiation treatment. view more (2009-08-03)
Viruses may play a role in lung cancer development
Papers presented at the 1st European Lung Cancer Conference, jointly organized by the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) in Geneva, Switzerland highlight emerging evidence that common viruses may contribute to the development of lung cancer. view more (2008-04-25)
Media coverage of lung cancer is increasing, and increasingly negative, new report shows
CancerCare today announced that despite an overall increase in news reporting on lung cancer, the overall tone of lung cancer media coverage has become significantly more negative. view more (2008-10-29)
Pazopanib shrinks lung cancers before surgery
Pazopanib, a new oral angiogenesis inhibitor, has demonstrated interesting activity in difficult to treat non-small-cell lung cancer, US researchers report. view more (2008-09-17)
Study identifies new tumor suppressor
A protein called HLJ1 may work as a novel tumor suppressor in non-small-cell lung carcinoma. view more (2006-06-21)
Urine test may determine if a smoker is at risk for lung cancer
Researchers may have uncovered why lung cancer afflicts some smokers and not others, according to data presented at the American Association for Cancer Research 100th Annual Meeting 2009. view more (2009-04-20)
Lung cancer risk increases with expression of specific genes
A recent study published in the October 2009 issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology determined that variations of specific genetic markers identified in previous research, or SNPs, may indicate a greater lung cancer risk in African Americans than in whites. view more (2009-10-01)
