NHLBI media availability: Treatment shows long-term benefits for cystic fibrosis patients
New research suggests that inhaling hypertonic saline, a water-based concentrated salt solution, could provide long-term benefits for lung health in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). view more (2006-01-19)
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)
Early detection of lung cancer: New data presented at multidisciplinary meeting
New data from several studies evaluating new techniques for early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer are being presented at the first European Multidisciplinary Conference on Thoracic Oncology (EMCTO) in Lugano, Switzerland (1-3 May 2009). view more (2009-05-04)
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)
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)
Lung disease study hope for premature babies
A Europe-wide trial involving premature babies is investigating whether the risk of chronic lung disease can be halved if they are given nitric oxide gas to breathe shortly after birth. view more (2006-08-02)
Type of lung cancer screening used to detect disease may impact 5-year survival rates
Dr. Hisao Asamura and his team of researchers at The National Cancer Center Hospital in Tokyo, Japan examined the records of 2,281 patients who underwent lung cancer resection surgery between 2000 and 2006. view more (2009-05-05)
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)
Racial disparities persist in the treatment of lung cancer
Black patients suffering from lung cancer are less likely to receive recommended chemotherapy and surgery than white lung cancer patients, a disparity that shows no signs of lessening. view more (2009-04-13)
Lung cancer survival rates may be linked to access to care
New research suggests that the lower survival rates of blacks with lung cancer may be explained by access to care. view more (2006-02-06)
Potential early warning system for lung cancer identified
An immune system protein could act as an early warning system for lung cancer, reveals research published ahead of print in the journal Thorax. view more (2007-10-11)
Gas cooking has a harmful effect on the lung function of adolescents
Gas cooking has a harmful effect on the lung function of girls who are susceptible to allergies, concludes research in Thorax. Over 700 Italian school children aged 11-13 years were interviewed by a physician and categorised according to how often they were in the kitchen while the mother cooked using a gas stove. Lung function measurements were... view more... (2001-06-14)
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)
PET imaging significantly enhances standard imaging in lung cancer staging
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a useful diagnostic tool that supports the need for more accurate staging of lung cancer and improved treatment for patients, concludes an extensive systematic review published online today in Journal of National Cancer Institute. view more (2007-11-28)
Is late diagnosis of lung cancer inevitable?
A study by researchers into the diagnosis of patients with lung cancer suggests that avoidable patient delays in reporting symptoms of the disease is an important factor in its treatment. view more (2005-03-23)
African-Americans have unique lung cancer risks from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Scientists at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center have developed a risk prediction assessment for lung cancer specifically for African Americans that suggests a greater risk from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). view more (2008-09-05)
Deficiency in the protein MBL2 linked to increased cystic fibrosis severity
Cystic fibrosis (CF), a hereditary disorder causing thick mucous production and frequent lung infections, is associated with a high mortality rate primarily due to lung failure. view more (2008-02-22)
Heart and lung transplants hampered by donor shortages and unchanged death rates
Optimism about the success of heart and lung transplants at the start of the 1990s is not supported by the evidence, shows an audit of the procedure, published in Heart. view more (2002-04-15)
Tumor response may not be best measure of efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer treatment
Researchers typically evaluate the effectiveness of a new cancer treatment by looking at how tumors respond to it. But in the case of advanced non-small cell lung cancer, there may be a better way to assess effectiveness. view more (2006-06-06)
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)
