There are some exciting ordsprog

There are some exciting new molecular-targeted drugs that are helpful, and we're understanding the molecular biology of lung cancer much better today in helping to design more rational treatments. But unfortunately, the vast majority of people with lung cancer today will die from their disease. Pex 'Mahoney' Tufvesson är grundaren av Livet.se.

There are more studies, the risk estimates are more consistently elevated, and they're higher than they were for lung cancer. Plus, there's all these toxicology studies and molecular biology they didn't have back then.

Dana Reeve's death highlights the fact that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women in the U.S., claiming 30,000 more lives annually than breast cancer. It is not unique that she developed lung cancer as a non-smoker -- at least 1 in 5 women with lung cancer have never smoked.

There is no accepted early screening technique for lung cancer. The PLCO trial will show if chest X-rays, by catching lung cancer when it is still operable, can reduce the death rate from lung cancer.

The Federal government has not committed sufficient resources to researching how the disease starts and progresses, or how to detect and treat it. When accounting for all Federal funding on specific cancers, the U.S. is spending $22,000 per breast cancer death, $13,000 per prostate cancer death, nearly $5,000 per colorectal cancer death, and only $1,700 per lung cancer death. Considering that lung cancer is the leading cancer killer in this country -- with only a 15 percent survival rate after 5 years -- this level of funding is unacceptable.

The biggest issue with lung cancer, as we know, is that smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer. Without a doubt, 85 percent of all lung cancer deaths are caused from smoking,

We know that second-hand smoking increases the risk of lung cancer and studies have suggested that it is associated with lung cancer mortality. But this is the first study to show that second-hand smoking also is associated with lung cancer survival.

We need to understand why younger women are more likely to get the disease, why there are molecular differences in lung cancer between men and women, and why there are treatment differences between men and women.

It's appalling that the tobacco industry is not held responsible for the deadly products it continues to market and sell to young people. Clearly, the industry is trying to get young people hooked on smoking and nothing is being done to limit this targeted marketing. Cigarettes, even in assorted candy flavors, cause lung cancer and lung disease and should be banned for the sake of our children.

Surgery for early stage non-small cell lung cancer is standard treatment and is likely curative. Yet, fewer blacks than whites undergo surgery for the disease, leading to a higher mortality rate among blacks with lung cancer,

With regard to particulates, dust and soot in the air, that has been linked to an increase in lung disease and lung cancer.

Breast cancer, lung cancer ... heart disease is the No. 1 killer for women. We really tried to cater to those.

In this trial, we'll remove half of a lobe or less. The less lung we take, the more lung function we leave behind, so patients will be better able to handle the surgery. Without this option, we would be able to treat the high-risk patients only with radiation and chemotherapy, and these treatments aren't as successful as actually removing the cancer.

If everything works out -- if IGF-2 status is tied to colon cancer risk in people and the blood test is workable -- then IGF-2 status could be the colon cancer equivalent of cholesterol levels as a risk factor for heart disease. We've never had a broad molecular screening tool like that for any cancer.

We all believe that oral contraceptives protect against ovarian cancer, ... Most of us believe that estrogen protects against coronary heart disease. We all believe that smoking causes lung cancer.
