New lung cancer staging system revealed
For the first time in more than 10 years, the universally accepted lung cancer staging system has been revised to more accurately reflect the prognosis for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). view more (2009-07-14)
Less invasive methods may provide accurate means to determine lung cancer stage
An evaluation of several endoscopic biopsy methods suggests that a "minimally invasive" approach may accurately determine the stage of suspected lung cancer, according to a study in the February 6 issue of JAMA. view more (2008-02-06)
Study finds outcomes of high-risk cancer operations in 80-year-olds worse than reported
New research published in the December issue of The Journal of the American College of Surgeons shows that outcomes of high-risk cancer operations in 80-year-olds are considerably worse than reported in case studies and published survival statistics, which may lead to unrealistic expectations about the safety of these operations in the elderly. view more (2007-12-19)
Early Promise Of Blood Marker To Detect Mesothelioma (p 1612)
Preliminary results of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that a blood test could be used in the future to identify people with mesothelioma-the usually deadly malignant tumor of mesothelial tissue surrounding the lungs, often caused by exposure to asbestos. Bruce Robinson from Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, Perth, Australia, and... view more... (2003-11-12)
New lung cancer guidelines oppose general CT screening
New evidenced-based guidelines from the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) recommend against the use of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for the general screening of lung cancer. view more (2007-09-11)
Poorer lung function in workplace passive smokers
Non-smokers forced to breathe in their colleagues' cigarette smoke at work may significantly compromise the ability of their lungs to function properly, shows research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. The study involved over 300 men and women employees who were randomly selected from general practitioner records in Glasgow, Scotland.... view more... (2001-08-14)
How to Make a Lung: Cell-Regeneration Molecules Essential Signals for Early Lung Development, Penn Study Finds
A tissue-repair-and-regeneration pathway in the human body, including wound healing, is essential for the early lung to develop properly. view more (2009-08-18)
Cells in mucus from lungs of high-risk patients can predict tumor development
n a group of high-risk patients, a test that examined DNA from cells expelled in sputum for evidence of "silenced" genes correctly identified the majority of patients who were later diagnosed with lung cancer. view more (2006-03-15)
Anti-psychotic drugs could help fight cancer
The observation that people taking medication for schizophrenia have lower cancer rates than other people has prompted new research revealing that anti-psychotic drugs could help treat some major cancers. view more (2009-08-12)
An apple a day may be good for your lungs
Overall, good lung function was associated with high intakes of vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene, citrus fruits, apples, and fruit juices. After adjusting for factors, such as body mass, smoking history, and exercise, only the association with apples remained, suggesting that eating five or more apples a week, compared with none, was associated... view more...

Cleveland Clinic leading clinical program to improve early-stage lung cancer detection
Cleveland Clinic and Riverain Medical today announced the establishment of the first study in an ongoing program to determine whether chest X-ray CAD (computer-aided detection) can improve practical early detection of lung cancer. view more (2007-11-27)
Genomic profiling of lung tumors helps doctors choose most effective treatment
Determining the genetic profile of a particular lung tumor can help clinicians make the crucial decision about which chemotherapy treatment to try first. view more (2007-09-28)
Vandetanib shows clinical benefit when combined with docetaxel for lung cancer
When combined with standard chemotherapy, an international Phase III trial has shown that the oral targeted therapy vandetanib improves progression-free survival for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. view more (2009-06-01)
Herceptin gives disappointing results in lung cancer trial
Trastuzumab (Herceptin) - a treatment that has increased survival in many breast cancer patients - has failed to live up to hopes that it might also help lung cancer patients. view more (2004-01-08)
Genes found to play a role in breast cancer's spread to the brain
New research led by investigators at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) identifies three genes that specifically mediate the metastasis, or spread, of breast cancer to the brain and illuminates the mechanisms by which this spread occurs. The study was published online today in Nature. view more (2009-05-07)
Common food additive found to increase risk and speed spread of lung cancer
New research in an animal model suggests that a diet high in inorganic phosphates, which are found in a variety of processed foods including meats, cheeses, beverages, and bakery products, might speed growth of lung cancer tumors and may even contribute to the development of those tumors in individuals predisposed to the disease. view more (2008-12-29)
Lung scintigraphy more reliable than CTA in excluding pulmonary embolism in pregnant patients
A medical imaging procedure known as lung scintigraphy may be more reliable than pulmonary CT angiography (CTA) for identifying or excluding pulmonary embolism (PE) in pregnant patients. view more (2009-10-21)
Costs of long-course palliative radiotherapy acceptable in late-stage lung cancer
A longer, less intense course of radiotherapy provides better value for the money than a shorter, more intense regimen when given to ease pain and other complaints in patients with late-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to a study in the December 20 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2006-12-20)
Swine flu: What does it do to pigs?
The effects of H1N1 swine flu have been investigated in a group of piglets. Scientists writing in BioMed Central's open access Virology Journal studied the pathology of the virus, finding that all infected animals showed flu-like symptoms between one and four days after infection and were shedding virus two days after infection. view more (2009-05-11)
DKK-3 and WIF-1: Proteins related to liver cancer development?
Liver cancer is one of the most fatal human malignancies and the third most frequent cause of tumor-related death, about half a million people globally each year. view more (2009-06-15)
