Molecular pathway appears crucial in development of pulmonary fibrosis
A study led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers may have found a key mechanism underlying idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a usually fatal lung disease for which transplantation is the only successful treatment. view more (2007-12-13)
Potential treatment option for severe emphysema under study
Emory University researchers are participating in a nationwide study to explore an investigational treatment for advanced widespread emphysema. view more (2008-09-25)
Measures to assess potential lung injury during ventilation inadequate
Ventilator-induced injury to the lungs can contribute to prolonged respiratory failure and even death among patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). view more (2008-08-15)
For children with sickle cell disease, lung disease is part of the package
Children with sickle cell disease (SCD) have a significantly sharper decline in lung function with age when compared to other children of the same race and age. view more (2008-05-19)
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)
Excess pneumonia deaths linked to engine exhaust
Engine exhaust fumes are linked to excess deaths from pneumonia across England, suggests research published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. view more (2008-04-15)
Surgery remans an option for advanced lung cancer
In recent years, oncologists have debated whether patients with a certain type of advanced lung cancer would benefit from surgery. view more (2009-07-27)
Lung cancer: Molecular scissors determine therapy effectiveness
In the past few years, a number of anti-cancer drugs have been developed which are directed selectively against specific key molecules of tumor cells. view more (2009-03-17)
Researchers develop blood test to detect lung cancer
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for both men and women in the United States and around the world, mainly because lung cancers are found in late stages and the best treatment opportunities already have been missed. view more (2006-08-01)
Shorter distance on six-minute walk test points up a greater risk of death
For idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients awaiting lung transplantation, a simple walk test can predict mortality rates. view more (2006-09-18)
Duke scientists create airway spheres to study lung diseases
Using both animal and human cells, Duke University Medical Center scientists have demonstrated that a single lung cell can become one of two very different types of airway cells, which could lead to a better understanding of lung diseases. view more (2009-07-29)
Lung volume reduction surgery shown to prolong and improve life for some emphysema patients
Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) can have a significantly beneficial effect in patients with severe emphysema, according to the first ever study to randomize emphysema patients to receive either LVRS or non-surgical medical care. view more (2009-07-24)
Yale study shows why cigarette smoke makes flu, other viral infections worse
A new study by researchers at Yale School of Medicine could explain why the cold and flu virus symptoms that are often mild and transient in non-smokers can seriously sicken smokers. Published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, the study also identified the mechanism by which viruses and cigarette smoke interact to increase lung... view more... (2008-07-25)
Guide on lung cancer in 'never-smokers': A different disease and different treatments
A committee of scientists led by Johns Hopkins investigators has published a new guide to the biology, diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer in never-smokers, fortifying measures for what physicians have long known is a very different disease than in smokers. view more (2009-09-17)
Brain irradiation in lung cancer
A national Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) study led by a Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center physician at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee has found that a course of radiation therapy to the brain after treatment for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer reduced the risk of metastases to the brain within the first year after... view more...

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)
Diagnostic strategy may help determine stage of lung cancer more accurately
A preoperative testing strategy combining two procedures may help improve the accuracy of determining the stage of lung cancer, according to an article in the August 24/31 issue of JAMA. view more (2005-08-24)
Researchers begin randomized double-blind trial of airway bypass treatment for emphysema
Broncus Technologies, Inc., today announced the start of its EASE (Exhale Airway Stents for Emphysema) Trial to explore an investigational procedure that may offer a new, minimally-invasive treatment option for millions of emphysema sufferers. view more (2007-05-21)
Combination of PET/CT tests can expedite diagnosis of lung cancer in a fast-track setting
Research published in the October 2009 issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology has found an effective combination of positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) (PET/CT) tests to diagnose lung cancer in a "fast-tracked" outpatient setting. view more (2009-10-01)
Biomarkers identified for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
The first evidence of a distinctive protein signature that could help to transform the diagnosis and improve the monitoring of the devastating lung disease idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is being reported by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers in this month's edition of PLoS Medicine, an open-access journal of the Public... view more...
