New approach to treating cystic fibrosis could lower risk of lung transplants and death.
A new approach to treating people with cystic fibrosis (CF) has been shown to reduce inflammation, which has the potential to reduce the need for lung transplants and lower the risk of death. The study, led by researchers at RCSI (Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland), is published in the current edition

What now? Starting to lose hope
Hello, I joined this forum on impulse cause I saw it and I really want to quit smoking. The trouble is I haven't done anything about quitting for 2 years at least & I have no idea or inspiration about what to try next. I smoke more the more stressed I am. This is a problem cause I have mental health

Inadequacies in Current Early-stage Lung Cancer Treatment Revealed.
Researchers from Tohoku University and Tohoku University Hospital have revealed why some existing cancer treatments are ineffective in tackling the early-stages of lung cancer. A team led by Professor Tetsuya Kodama investigated the ability of anti-cancer agents to affect early-stage lung metastatic

Concerned with Diagnosis
How reliable are results from a lung biopsy.(VAT’s)? Mine on 2013 diagnosed Usual Interstitial Pneumonitis (UIP), but my Consiltant disagreed and has treated me since for Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis. Now my condition is getting worse and I do not know who was right. Lung Transplant next

Bipap and night oxygen
I mentioned to the lovely lady I wasn’t sure if my
lung
had partially
collapsed
again as my chest back hurt. Upshot was she sent me off with the overnight kit to check oxygen levels which went back this morning.

A new pathway to "reprogram" killer cells.
Killer cells of the immune system detect and kill infected cells or cancer cells. Researchers at the Institute of Pathology at the University of Bern have now discovered that the mechanism by which certain immune cells kill their target cells can also be used to control the killer cells themselves. This

New advances in the treatment of advanced lung cancer.
The University of Barcelona (UB) and Hospital Clínic de Barcelona collaborate with Boehringer Ingelheim Inc. to improve the efficiency of nintedanib, an antiangiogenic and antifibrotic drug, for the treatment of lung cancer. This public-private collaboration enabled researchers identify molecular mechanisms

Hi everyone, My partner was diagnosed with stage 4 nsclc in October 2015. After unsuccessful treatment with chemotherapy she was referred to palliative care by her previous consultant. I went private to get a second opinion and found a great consultant who enrolled her on a early access to medicine

Advice please
I was diagnosed with lung cancer last spring. There are also two secondaries. I have had 10 chemo sessions. Decided to give up for a bit because of side effects. Anyone tried alternative medication? I wonder about apricot kernels. The hospital will continue to monitor me with scans. Just looking for

A randomised single-centre trial of inhaled liposomal cyclosporine for bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome post-lung transplantation.
Outcomes after lung transplantation are poor due to bronchiolitis obliterans. Since bronchiolitis obliterans is not readily demonstrated by lung biopsies, the term bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is applied, defined as a sustained forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) decline. Treatments for

Ontario teen's vaping injury consistent with 'popcorn lung,' study suggests.
An Ontario teen who was put on life-support with a severe vaping-related illness may be the first documented case of a different form of damage linked to e-cigarettes, according to a study published Thursday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. The study suggests the teen's condition is more

Secretome of pleural effusions associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and malignant mesothelioma: therapeutic implications.
In this report, the authors compare levels of 40 cytokines and chemokines in non-small cell lung cancer, mesothelioma and benign pleural effusions, with the goal of identifying druggable targets and interventions that can change the pleural environment from one that suppresses immunity and promotes tumor

Discouraged
I am new to this section. I have been involved with the lung cancer. I had lung surgery 6 years ago. Last summer I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I had surgery, then chemo. Just 3 months after finishing, my cea levels went up. A scan revealed involvement of 3 lymph nodes. I was started on Keytruda
