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

Lung nodule advice please?
I've been told over the phone today (by my gp because I wanted to know my results)that one of my three lung nodules has grown from 6mm to 7mm since my first scan three months ago. I'm really worried, I phoned the respiratory secretaries to ask what happens next, to be abruptly told that the consultant

Lung cancer in non-smokers likely to respond differently to treatment.
Lung cancer in non-smokers is a diverse and distinct disease from that in smokers, and is likely to respond differently to targeted treatments, a major new study shows. Scientists studied a population in Taiwan with high rates of lung cancer among non-smokers – and found a range of genetic changes which

Decompensated liver
She has massive plueral effusion and this is the second time her right
lung
has filled with fluid and
collapsed
in 3 months. I am so worried as the fluid is filling so quickly dispite her being on a high dose of diuretics. Has anyone experienced this and know the prognosis moving forward?

The combination of four drugs at low doses is more effective and less toxic in the treatment of a lung cancer type
Inhibit the specific activity of a protein affected by a mutation using high doses of a drug is the usual treatment for many cancers. Despite in the first instance this strategy is effective, leads to treatment resistance development by tumor cells through the appearance of secondary mutations, which
