Dual Immunotherapy Prolongs Survival While Avoiding Chemotherapy in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

UPDATE ON X RAY's & CT SCANS,
Not been on for a while but I did promise an update to X Rays and CT Scans. Last August I had a COPD revue at local village surgery and Asthma Nurse spotted something she was not sure about. True my COPD flare ups had reduced but I was getting more breathless. Could not have a SPYRO as I have monthly

I have an appointment to go see consultant on 11th August. I was just wondering if anyone else has been given

Use of a Bluetooth tablet‐based technology to improve outcomes in lung transplantation: A pilot study.
Lung transplantation is now a prevalent treatment option for patients with end‐stage lung disease, contributing to longer life expectancy and improved quality of life.1 Despite clinical advances in the field, lung transplant recipients (LTRs) frequently experience postoperative complications that result

Highly invasive lung cancer cells have longer 'fingers'.
Tiny finger-like projections called filopodia drive invasive behavior in a rare subset of lung cancer cells, researchers at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University have found. Adam Marcus’ lab has developed innovative techniques for separating “leaders” and “followers,” subpopulations of tumor

I'm really worried, I phoned the respiratory secretaries to ask what happens next, to be abruptly told that the consultant
