Successful lung cancer surgery not enough to break nicotine dependence in many smokers
A new study has found that close to half of 154 smokers who had surgery to remove early stage lung cancer picked up a cigarette again within 12 months of their potentially curative operation, and more than one-third were smoking at the one year mark. Sixty percent of patients who started smoking again did so within two months of surgery. view more (2006-12-11)
Early occupational exposure can affect lungs later
Occupational exposure to lung irritants early in a young worker's career can result in increased doctor visits for lung problems in later years. view more (2006-05-22)
FDG-PET Imaging Clearly Predicts Lung Cancer Patients' Response to Chemotherapy
An earlier indication of whether chemotherapy benefits non-small cell lung cancer patients—provided by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging—can guide doctors in offering them better care, according to researchers in the May Journal of Nuclear Medicine. view more (2007-05-10)
Molecular studies in cancer of the colon
According to Dr. Jesús García-Foncillas, Director of the Department of Oncology at the University Hospital (University of Navarra), molecular studies in cancer of the colon will contribute to the establishment of more efficient and less toxic treatments. view more (2005-10-24)
Combined treatment extends life expectancy for lung cancer patients
Combining thermal ablation with radiation therapy extends average life expectancy and decreases recurrences of tumors in patients who have early stages of inoperable lung cancer, according to researchers at Rhode Island Hospital. view more (2006-07-17)
PET scans track small tumors after stereotactic body radiotherapy
Readily available CT screening for lung cancer is increasing the discovery of small, primary lung cancers. For many, a radiation technique called stereotactic body radiotherapy presents a less invasive treatment option to surgery that is typically offered to non-surgical candidates. view more (2007-10-29)
Researchers find potential celebrex target in lung cancer
A product produced by lung cancer tumors fuels the cells that suppress immune function in patients and may be a target for Celebrex therapy, giving oncologists another weapon to fight cancer, according to a study by researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center. view more (2005-07-15)
In lung cancer, silencing one crucial gene disrupts normal functioning of genome
While examining patterns of DNA modification in lung cancer, a team of international researchers has discovered what they say is a surprising new mechanism. view more (2009-01-05)
Mouth may tell the tale of lung damage caused by smoking
Cells lining the mouth reflect the molecular damage that smoking does to the lining of the lungs, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report today at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research. view more (2008-04-14)
Dual gene therapy suppresses lung cancer in preclinical test
Combination gene therapy delivered in lipid-based nanoparticles drastically reduces the number and size of human non-small cell lung cancer tumors in mice. view more (2007-01-15)
Substance in tree bark could lead to new lung-cancer treatment
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have determined how a substance derived from the bark of the South American lapacho tree kills certain kinds of cancer cells, findings that also suggest a novel treatment for the most common type of lung cancer. view more (2007-06-26)
Researchers discover new way to predict survival in older women with lung cancer
Researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have discovered a novel mechanism to predict survival in older women with early stage lung cancer. The finding may have significant implications for new treatment approaches. view more (2007-11-02)
Mayo Clinic: Gene expression profiling not quite perfected in predicting lung cancer prognosis
While there have been significant advances in the use of gene expression profiling to assess a cancer prognosis, a Mayo Clinic review and analysis of existing lung cancer studies shows that this technology has not yet surpassed the accuracy of conventional methods used to assess survival in lung cancer patients. view more (2006-11-17)
Young women warned of lung cancer risks
Seventeen people are still dying from lung cancer each week in Northern Ireland despite a small improvement in survival rates for the disease. view more (2009-04-03)
PROSTATE CANCER SERIES (p 859)
A four-week series about prostate cancer-the third most common cancer in men worldwide, and the leading male cancer in Europe and North America-begins in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The first article, by Henrik Grönberg of Umea University, Sweden, assesses the epidemiology of prostate cancer, and examines the impact of genetic and... view more... (2003-03-05)
European trial finds old lung cancer treatment may still be best
The first clinical trial to compare directly two of the most widely-used drugs in advanced lung cancer, cisplatinin and carboplatin (both in combination with paclitaxel) - have concluded that the older drug, cisplatin, is the better treatment. Patients given cisplatin and paclitaxel had better survival rates and their quality of life was just as... view more... (2002-10-07)
Tobacco industry concealed its role in refuting important study
In 1981 an influential Japanese study showed an association between passive smoking and lung cancer. Using internal tobacco industry documents, researchers in this week’s BMJ describe how the industry tried to hide its involvement in refuting this study. view more (2002-12-11)
Genomic signatures identify targeted therapies for lung cancer
Any number of things can go wrong in the cells of the body to cause cancer -- and clinicians can't tell by just looking at a tumor what exactly triggered the once normal cells to turn cancerous. view more (2007-06-04)
OHSU Cancer Institute researcher: radiation, immunotherapy gives greater effectiveness
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have found the right formula of radiation and immunotherapy for fighting lung cancer tumors in mice, which they hope will translate to better treatment in human lung cancers. view more (2008-09-26)
Tooth loss strongly linked to risk of esophageal, head and neck, and lung cancer
Studying thousands of patients, Japanese researchers have found a strong link between tooth loss and increased risk of three cancers - esophageal, head and neck, and lung. They suggest that preservation of teeth may decrease risk of developing these diseases. view more (2008-05-14)
