Lung cancer: Hope for increasing immunotherapy efficacy
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death. Current treatments employ immunotherapy, often in combination with chemotherapy, but benefits to patients remain slight. In a pre-clinical study, EPFL researchers investigated a method shown to enhance immunotherapy for other cancers. The study

Shoulder and arm pain
I have stage 4 lung cancer on immunotherapy Pembrolizamab for a year. Last few weeks been getting severe shoulder/arm pain right arm - had vats lobe to my on same side over a year ago, doctors say it is 'probably' muscular and not related to my tumour. Severe pain and I feel unheard and unsupported.

Hello all We are currently receiving interest in and media requests about how the NHS's cancer services have been altered by the pandemic. Most recently we have had an approach from Channel 5 news looking to interview someone who had their surgery delayed. If you would be willing to talk to our team

To do the best for my friend
My friend Kevin has terminal lung cancer and about 3 weeks ago he was admitted to the psyche ward. I offered to go to his flat to get his clothes and he said no (the doctor did say the cancer was effecting his brain). He doesn't belong on a psyche ward and they are trying to sort out accommodation like

New study yields insights into chronic rejection after lung transplantation
A study of lung tissue from patients with end-stage bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) as a complication of lung transplantation yielded molecular and morphologic insights into the development of chronic rejection. These insights may help develop therapies to optimize long-term outcomes for lung

The Lambda variant is now in 29 countries, but what evidence do we have that it’s more dangerous?
...........................................A variant of interest is one that has mutations that are predicted or known to affect things such as transmissibility (how easily the virus spreads), severity of disease, ability to evade immunity from past infections or vaccines, or confound diagnostic tests

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of my last birthday.
When first diagnosed I was told that I MIGHT survive 10-15 months with the most aggressive treatment available. That was October of 2010. When my birthday came in July of 2011, I sincerely believed I would die within a few months. So I decided to go out in style. I threw myself a big birthday bash

Immunocompromised? Why the COVID-19 vaccine might still protect you
COVID-19 vaccinations may not offer as much protection to people with compromised immune systems, but just how much appears to be driven by the type of underlying condition, new research suggests. "People with conditions that compromise their immune systems exhibit a wide spectrum of antibody responses

Lung Transplant: “Dry Run”
Hi, Of the people who have had or are listed for a lung transplant, can you tell me how you coped with “dry runs” ( not sure what else to call them) I got called to Harefield, 2 days ago, as they potentially had suitable lungs for me. I had all the bloods, swabs, was prepped for theatre etc. Then it
