With the genomic revolution radical improvement has been made in methods of detection of ovarian cancer. view more (2007-11-30)
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)
Can dogs smell cancer?
In a new scientific study, researchers present astonishing new evidence that man's best friend, the dog, may have the capacity to contribute to the process of early cancer detection. view more (2006-01-06)
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)
CAD plus MDCT useful in finding lung nodules
Computer-aided detection combined with MDCT improves radiologists' ability to detect solid lung nodules early enough for them to be treated without increasing interpretation time according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Hopital Pitie-Salpetriere in Paris, France. view more (2007-11-06)
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)
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)
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)
EARLY DETECTION OF LUNG CANCER POSSIBLE WITH CAT AND PET SCANS (pp 588, 593)
Issue 23 August 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 22 August 2003. Preliminary results from a European study in this week's issue of THE LANCET show that combined use of spiral computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tamography (PET) scanning can reliably detect early lung cancer. Authors of the study suggest that use of these imaging... view more... (2003-08-20)
Study points to possibility of blood test to detect lung cancer
A test for four blood proteins may provide a less-invasive follow-up for patients who have suspicious lesions on chest radiographs or computerized tomography (CT) scans, according to a new study led by Duke University Medical Center researchers. view more (2007-12-10)
Additional mammogram readers improve breast cancer detection
Mammogram readings by both radiologists and non-physician technologists improve breast cancer detection rates, according to a study in the July 24 Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2007-07-25)
Test for lung cancer looks for discomforting quiet among protective genes
When it is quiet - "almost too quiet" - in movies, it is a sign that something is about to go wrong for the good guys. view more (2007-09-19)
