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)
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)
Intervals between lung cancer diagnosis and treatment displays a health care disparity

BA Festival: Asthma and the Sinister Infiltrator
Professor Tim Williams, head of the Leukocyte Biology Section, Imperial College School of Medicine, will tell the BA Festival of Science on Tuesday 12 September how asthma may be caused primarily by a body defence system that has gone wrong - when allergens in the air are mistaken by the body for products from parasitic worms. Professor Williams... view more... (2000-09-12)
Study shows microRNA-based diagnostic identifies squamous lung cancer with 96 percent sensitivity
A new study shows for the first time that a microRNA-based diagnostic test can objectively identify squamous lung cancer with 96% sensitivity, according to Harvey Pass, M.D. of the NYU Cancer Institute at NYU Langone Medical Center, one of the authors of the study published on-line ahead of print in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. view more (2009-03-10)

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)
