Adding radiation after immunotherapy improves progression-free survival for some patients with metastatic lung cancer.
Adding precisely aimed, escalated doses of radiation after patients no longer respond to immunotherapy reinvigorates the immune system in some patients with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), increasing progression-free survival (PFS). Findings of the phase II randomized trial will be presented

Docetaxel...one down...advice wanted on “chilling out”
My dad’s PSA recently went up from around 4 to around 6, so the local oncologist told us to put a lung surgery on the back burner and to start chemo, which we did today. My dad is 86 and had successful chemo for non-Hodgkins lymphoma several years ago. With this chemo, I think he’s a bit baffled that

Cessation of Pembrolizumab immunotherapy after two years
Just wondering how others are faring who have completed the 2 year maximum treatment period on Pembrolizumab? I have the PD-L1 expression at only 5 percent but am fortunate that my disease has remained stable whilst on Pembrolizumab. I had an appointment with the Oncologist yesterday and I am due to

Gleeson 9 (5+4), about to get PSA result around 1 year after surgery
Had a subtotal colectomy for bowel cancer in 2017. T1. seems clear apart from radiologists reporting 'striations' in fat in the abdominal wall. Had a prostatectomy in mid-2018. Extensive cancer in large-sized prostate with extension to lymph nodes and seminal vesicle - affected nodes and areas removed

Post Lobectomy
Hey everyone. So my mom has been good so far, we will go to the oncologist soon, its been almost 3 months since surgery and she has been doing well. Is coughing normal at night? She seems to choke on her saliva alot. Also, everytime she drinks a liquid she says she can feel it in the lung area. She says

Possible Recurrance
Hello, my survivor friends. My latest CT scan showed a RUL nodule that has increased in size from 6 mm to 8 mm since three months ago. Also the subcarinal lymph node(s) increased in size from 1.6 cm to 2.7 cm in the same time period. They will be attempting a needle biopsy of the nodule next week.

Severe silicosis found among fabricators of engineered quartz stone.
Respirable crystalline silica exposure causes silicosis, a disabling and sometimes fatal lung disease. Clusters of cases have been reported internationally among stone countertop fabrication workers, but only one U.S. case in this industry has been reported previously. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes

Severe cough after chemo
My dad is on his second course of 2 chemotherapies and 1 immuno-therapy for sclc. His cough was at first an inconvenience and it has now turned into him not being able to sleep or talk. He sounds like a barking dog. Doctors have ruled out pneumonia, confirmed the tumor hasn’t grown and mentioned it was

Recurrence generic testing
I was wondering why after right middle
lung
lobectomy
for early stage adenocarcinoma they did not do genetic testing? Seems it would be better to know what paths to take if it recurs. Wouldn’t it be better to know before and not have to wait for these results then? Should I feel short changed?

Video assisted lung surgery reduces complications and hospital stays compared to open surgery.
Video-assisted thoracic surgery is associated with lower in-hospital complications and shorter length of stay compared with open surgery among British patients who were diagnosed at an early stage of lung cancer, according to research presented today the IASLC 2019 World Conference on Lung Cancer, hosted

Blood test to aid better detection of lung cancer.
Lung cancer can be spotted earlier and diagnosed more precisely with the help of a blood test, a major study carried out in Scotland has found. The Early Detection of Cancer of the Lung Scotland(ECLS) is the world’s largest clinical biomarker trial looking into detecting early lung cancer using a blood

Starting Immunotherapy Keytruda
Dear All, I am about to start Keytruda as my blood tests shows mismatched repair deficiency for which immunotherapy is advised. I have chronic asthma and so am really scared that the treatment may harm my lungs. I have read that keytruda can have bad side effects. Since in my case chemo has not worked

My husband had a liter and a half of fluid removed from area between lung and chest wall. The diagnosis now is stage 4 and he begins treatment on Wednesday. He will be on carboplatin, Alimta, and keytruda. How has keytruda worked for you? I wasn’t able to take it and just would like to hear from others

Why CT scan not pet scan?
Good evening to all. I have a quick question please. As you may know, I finished 4 rounds of Cisplatin Alimta three weeks ago, following on from a lobectomy in March. Tomorrow I have a CT scan and am wondering why they do that at this stage rather than a pet scan. Can anyone explain please? Best
