Targeted Therapy for ‘Undruggable’ Lung Cancer Stems from Decades of UCSF Research
Over the past two decades, targeted cancer therapies have changed the prognosis for thousands of patients. By targeting the specific genetic mutation behind a patient’s cancer, these therapies have enabled increasing numbers of patients to experience fewer toxic side effects and, often, live free of

Moffitt Researchers Develop Non-invasive Approach to Measure Biomarker Levels, Predict Outcomes in Lung Cancer Patients
Tests that analyze biomarkers are used during cancer management to guide treatment and provide information about patient prognosis. These tests are often performed on tissue biopsy samples that require invasive procedures and can lead to significant side effects. In a new article published in the Journal

Ground-breaking trial pilots new tests to detect lung cancer earlier. I posted about being invited for this a couple of weeks ago.
The first participants have taken part in a new research trial that aims to save lives by detecting lung cancer at an earlier stage when it is more treatable. People attending the NHS Targeted Lung Health Checks in Southampton are being invited to take part in the iDx Lung trial, which will offer new

Immunotherapy inflammation on tumour
Hi everyone mom is currently having immunotherapy; had scan 3 months ago and told the cancer was asleep. She has nsclc stage 3b lung cancer. This scan the consultant has phoned and said she has got inflammation, I think they are saying that it is bigger. Did anyone else have inflammation during immunotherapy

Nanoparticle therapy shows promise at preventing fatal newborn lung disease
The disease is so rare and complex that its acronym is hard to pronounce. But for infants unlucky enough to be born with this lung disease, the outcome is usually fatal. The disease is called alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of the pulmonary veins (ACDMPV). Research indicates the disease

Small cell lung cancer
Hi everyone, My dad was diagnosed with 3b SCLC in December, with a small tumour in the lung and 1 lymph node involvement. No mets. He has responded fabulously well to Chemo and radio. Having had his first scan following treatment, his tumour can no longer be seen and his node is now normal size. Please

Lobectomy or not for mild/moderate COPD sufferer
Hi all, I'm actually asking this for my uncle as I don't know if he will ask and I feel we need help and support. He has lung cancer - discovered whilst investigating for potential prostate-cancer secondary tumours. A primary lung tumour was removed but the surgeon has said that gold standard treatment

Targeted therapy pralsetinib safely effectively treats lung and thyroid cancers with RET alterations
Results from the multi-cohort Phase I/II ARROW clinical trial, conducted by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center researchers, showed that a once-daily dose of pralsetinib, a highly selective RET inhibitor, was safe and effective in treating patients with advanced RET fusion-positive non-small

Newly approved drug effective against lung cancer caused by genetic mutation
The new drug sotorasib reduces tumor size and shows promise in improving survival among patients with lung tumors caused by a specific DNA mutation, according to results of a global phase 2 clinical trial. The drug is designed to shut down the effects of the mutation, which is found in about 13% of patients

Two new drug approvals (for patients with EGFR Exon 20 insertion and patients with KRAS G12C mutation)
Hi everyone, I know Denzie posted about at least one of the new drug approvals fbut I figured it can't hurt to post about the new approvals again so people are aware of them. With both approvals, I wanted to share why it's important to know what your biomarker test results. Sometimes healthcare professionals

Research suggests BMI may not be best obesity indicator to assess risk for lung cancer.
New research published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology (JTO) suggests the method used to calculate how obesity is measured may affect whether it is considered a risk factor for lung cancer. The JTO is an official journal of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer. Although the

I am not sure if this is due to the

lung
during the op or not but find wearing a mask very uncomfortable because of this. Best Wishes, James.
