Lung cancer risks becoming ‘forgotten disease’ of the coronavirus pandemic.
Of all cancer types, referrals for suspected lung cancer have been the hardest hit according to weekly two week wait (2ww) figures(link is external) in England. At the end of August, the number of people sent for urgent review and tests in England was still at only around 60% of pre lockdown figures.

Lung cancer stage 4 and treatment
I am not exactly sure how this site works. I want to introduce myself and possibly get feedback on anyone who is in a similar situation. I have anxiety/depression but I also have stage 4 non small cell lung cancer. I just had my 2nd treatment of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. A friend of mine told me

Cavitating lesion
I had a lobectomy 9 years ago and (foolishly) thought I would have no more problems as all my scans since surgery have been clear. Breathing has always been a problem due to emphysema, but has lately got worse - X-rays, CT Scan and now PET scan show I have a 5cm "cavitating lesion" in that same lung

Dysphagia
We enter new territory. Since Ian's total colectomy 3 weeks ago, he has been having real problems swallowing, and chokes on water etc. I am about to collect some thickener from the farmacia. He has little appetite and his speech has pretty much disappeared, all in a short space of time. We are home

New immunotherapy to beat cancer.
Sophie Lucas (UCLouvain de Duve Institute) and her team succeeded in neutralising a molecule that blocks the immune system against cancer. UCLouvain scientists discovered that this new immunotherapy increases the action of another well-known but not always effective immunotherapy, and that it makes tumour

Listing query for Lung Transplants England
Can I ask is there still a hold on listing in England, for Lung Transplants? I have been informed lately that the 'super urgent, and urgent' are now lifted and its business as usual, as we all had a window from Covid, bit perplexed as I know of a few patients who fit normal criteria, not yet listed

RethiNKing which immune cells are the best weapon against lung cancer.
Immune cells called ‘natural killer’ (NK) cells could be a powerful weapon for fighting lung cancer, according to Melbourne researchers. Studying preclinical and patient samples of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute team revealed that NK cells – but not T cells – are essential

Hi... me again... So: Dad had upper right lobectomy December 2019 (T1C L0). There has been question about mediastinal lymph nodes since August 2019 but 4 separate biopsies returned negative, so continued to monitor.

Lung surgery Bi-lobectomy
He advised where it is and the cause of the blockage would mean a bi-
lobectomy
the middle and lower lobe of my right
lung
removing. Obviously quite a major operation and I am worried about recovery and how I will be after.
