t1bn0m0 lung cancer :: Article Creator One Protein Is Key To The Spread Of Lung Cancer: New Study Finds A Way To Stop It A new study by Tulane University has uncovered a previously unknown molecular pathway that could be instrumental to halting lung cancer in its tracks. Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. The research, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could lead to the development of a new anti-cancer drug and more personalized lung cancer treatment, said senior study author Dr. Hua Lu, the Reynolds and Ryan Families Chair in Translational Cancer at the Tulane University School of Medicine. The study found that a known tumor suppressor protein called RBM10 can inhibit lung cancer growth by suppressing the function of c-Myc, a protein that drives cancer cell growth and proliferation when overexpressed. Researchers discovered that RBM10 partner...

invasive ductal cancer :: Article Creator ASTRO Updates Guidelines On Partial Breast Irradiation For Early Invasive Cancer The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) updated their guidelines on partial breast irradiation (PBI) for patients with early-stage invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). These new guidelines take into account results from multiple randomized controlled trials that have been published since ASTRO last issued recommendations for PBI in 2017. The trials included more than 10,000 women with about 10 years of follow-up, and, according to ASTRO guideline task force members, demonstrated "oncologic equivalence" between PBI and whole-breast irradiation (WBI) for the treatment of early-stage breast cancer and DCIS. "For patients with early-stage breast cancer, many are eligible for consideration of partial breast irradiation," Task Force Chair Janice Lyons, MD, of the Universi...

coughing up lung tissue :: Article Creator What Your Persistent Cough Could Mean And How To Get Rid Of It Most of us rarely get through the colder months without a bug of some kind hitting us hard. But when that pesky cough drags on for weeks, you start wondering if you'll ever be healthy again...Or if it's a sign of something more serious. So what can you do to help yourself and get some much-needed sleep at night to try and heal? Researchers from the American Chemical Society claim cough syrups work little better than a placebo, while other popular remedies such as echinacea, vitamin C and zinc are not likely to help either. At best cough suppressants can leave you drowsy and give you a better night's sleep, claim the scientists. There is little or no evidence that the heavily marketed active ingredients – including the DXM (dextromethorphan) often found in 'night time' formulations – do anything to ease the cough. So...

Lung cancer survival rates have increased lately. Ryan McFadden/MediaNews Group via Getty Images Survival rates for lung cancer are improving, especially among historically marginalized communities of color, according to a new survey from the American Lung Association released Tuesday. The findings are a bright note amid deepening racial disparities in many areas in health care. The five-year lung canc...
