UC research: Immunotherapy safe for patients with COVID-19, cancer.
Preliminary data from researchers at the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center show that immunotherapy doesn’t necessarily worsen complications for patients with both COVID-19 and cancer.

Coughing
Did anyone else experience coughing after 7 days from right lobectomy. It seems to be starting from my stomach. I thought it might have been the beta blockers they gave me for AF after op but I didn’t take any yesterday and I am still coughing today

Hi, I am new here and I am having a
lobectomy
of my top right
lung
on Monday, having it done at London Bridge Hospital as covid is causing problems at the other hospitals. The cancer was luckily found in a CT that was looking for something else.

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

Scheduled for SBRT
Three months after the lumpectomy, I had a left upper
lobectomy
. Now a new mass is in that same
lung
. The only treatment options are surgery to remove the rest of the lung or stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).

Lung Transplant Survey Request
Hi Everyone Its been a while since I posted on this site - my mum had a very scary few months in hospital after receiving a lung transplant. Since then things have been progressing slowly in the right direction. As I come from a med-tech background and not working I would like to do something positive

Hi I am 5 weeks post upper left lobectomy. Was told no need for chemo. I feel a bit in the dark as to the next steps. Was told by lung nurse
Hi. I am 5 weeks post upper left lobectomy and systemic nodal dissection. The tumour was diagnosed as pTa N1 PL1 R0 with lymphovascular invasion. Had telephone conversation with consultant who recommended no adjuvant chemo as he said there was nothing there to treat at the moment. I am now very anxious

Study finds drug beneficial for shrinking mesothelioma tumors.
A drug that is designed to boost the immune system against mesothelioma, when combined with immunotherapy, was found to be beneficial in a small study involving ten patients. The results, which appeared July 1, 2020, in Science Translational Medicine, suggest that the drug LMB-100 could prolong the life

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

New on here
Hi there, in February of this year my mum was diagnosed with stage 3B squamous cell non-small cell lung cancer. It's been an emotional roller coaster. The doctors have been very positive about my mum. She was given aggressive chemo and radiation which she completed 2 months ago and recently started on
