It takes a jostling herd, U.S. researchers said on Thursday. by Reuters 2 Sep 2010 at 2:30pm A study funded by Abbott Laboratories offered more detailed evidence that its weight-loss drug Meridia increases heart risks, prompting renewed calls by consumer advocates and others to pull the drug from the market. 2 Sep 2010 at 7:24pm The American Lung Association is offering a free-of-charge, online caregiving coordination service called "My Fighting for Air Community" to support individuals affected by acute and chronic lungA diseases. 2 Sep 2010 at 3:24pm " After a two-year battle with lung cancer, John Regis passed away on July 28th, 2010. 2 Sep 2010 at 12:14pm Whether tumor size and stage distribution are correlated remains controversial. The objective is to assess the relationship between tumor size and disease stage distribution in non-small cell lung cancer . 2 Sep 2010 at 8:10am A patient receives chemotherapy treatment in a file photo.

A new study finds the key is a variety of vegetables, not the quantity. 1 Sep 2010 at 1:42pm The stage 3 lung cancer survival rate depends on the treatment and the physical condition of the patient, however the average stage 3 lung cancer survival rates range from 7 to 17 percent. 1 Sep 2010 at 11:42am People who consume a variety of vegetables tend to have a lower risk of developing lung cancer compared to those who don't, according to a study published in the medical journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention , a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research. 1 Sep 2010 at 11:42am Washington, Sept 1 : A diverse diet of fruits and vegetables may decrease the risk of lung cancer - especially if you smoke, says a new study. |

1 Sep 2010 at 4:00am Adding a variety of vegetables to one's diet may help decrease the chance of getting lung cancer, and adding a variety of fruits and vegetables may decrease the risk of squamous cell lung cancer, especially among smokers. 31 Aug 2010 at 11:00pm Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, and the prognosis is generally poor, even if surgery is successful. Furthermore, the incidence of one type of lung cancer, adenocarcinoma, has been increasing in recent years. 31 Aug 2010 at 11:00pm Chemotherapy is the best broad defense against cancer recurrence after surgical resection. However, it is difficult to predict which patients will benefit from which regimen of anticancer drugs, if at all. Building on existing knowledge, a new study has analyzed the usefulness of adjuvant chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer based on the histoculture drug response assay. 27 Aug 2010 at 10:00am Secondhand smoke is associated with a number of diseases and conditions, including cancer, heart disease and emphysema. It is an irritant to lung tissue and blood vessels, but the processes through which the body reacts to second-hand smoke is a mystery scientists are beginning to unravel. Researchers are now studying how second-hand smoke affects the lungs of rats. So far it appears that second-hand smoke triggers a complex inflammatory response. 23 Aug 2010 at 4:00pm Researchers have developed a nano-sized vehicle that can deliver chemotherapy drugs directly into cancer cells while avoiding interaction with healthy cells. The vehicle is very similar to a 'cluster bomb' and can be used to treat many different types of tumors, including lung, blood, colon and brain cancers. 20 Aug 2010 at 4:00pm Casual smokers may think that smoking a few cigarettes a week is "no big deal." But according to new research, having an infrequent smoke, or being exposed to secondhand smoke, may be doing more harm than people may think. The findings may further support public smoking bans, say the authors. 17 Aug 2010 at 4:00pm Adult stem cells that are vital for airway repair in the lung but that persist in areas where pre-cancerous lesions are found are associated with a poor prognosis in patients who develop cancer, even those with early stage disease, researchers have found. 17 Aug 2010 at 1:00am Researchers in Sweden have identified 12 genes that could be associated with aggressive breast tumors. The discovery could result in more reliable prognoses and better treatment strategies for patients. 16 Aug 2010 at 11:00pm One of the most tantalizing developments in anti-cancer therapy over recent years has been the advent of targeted treatments, which have proven highly effective in holding aggressive cancers at bay in certain patients, although typically only for a limited period of time. Now scientists have discovered new ways in which tumor cells develop resistance to one of the most successful targeted therapies, the small-molecule drug Tarceva (erlotinib). 16 Aug 2010 at 4:00am Clinical trials using patients' own immune cells to target tumors have yielded promising results. However, this approach usually works only if the patients also receive large doses of drugs designed to help immune cells multiply rapidly, and those drugs have life-threatening side effects. Now engineers have devised a way to deliver the necessary drugs by smuggling them on the backs of the cells sent in to fight the tumor. That way, the drugs reach only their intended targets, greatly reducing the risk to the patient. 13 Aug 2010 at 7:00am The identification of an oncogene specific to lung squamous cell carcinoma suggests that genetic activation of this oncogene could be used as an identification marker for this type of lung cancer. 12 Aug 2010 at 11:00pm Use of estrogen alone did not increase lung cancer mortality in postmenopausal women, according to a new study. 3 Aug 2010 at 4:00am With the growing number of long-term lung cancer survivors, research is needed to identify and address cancer survivorship issues. One of the most common and debilitating symptoms among lung cancer patients is dyspnea, or shortness of breath. As most studies of dyspnea have reviewed patients with active lung cancer or immediately after treatment, the prevalence of dyspnea over the long-term once treatment has been completed is not well characterized. 1 Aug 2010 at 11:00pm In patients with non-small cell lung cancer, five-year disease-free survival is currently the benchmark of cure. However, there are two issues that remain with the follow-up standards: when can cure be declared with confidence and for how long should follow-up examination be continued? 29 Jul 2010 at 11:00pm A research team from China investigated the effect of galangin on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. They found that galangin mediates apoptosis through a mitochondrial pathway, and may be a potential chemotherapeutic drug for the treatment of HCC. |
