seminoma lung cancer symptoms :: Article Creator Asthma Or COPD: How Symptoms Could Mask Signs Of Lung Cancer Certain chronic conditions that affect the lungs, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), can have symptoms that mimic lung cancer. A recent study found that this could delay a timely lung cancer diagnosis. The study was published in the British Journal of Cancer. The study focused on people already living with chronic conditions that have symptoms similar to those of lung cancer. The researchers found that people with only 1 chronic condition were diagnosed with lung cancer about a month later than people who did not have a chronic condition. People who had 2 or more chronic conditions were diagnosed more than 2 months later. For some people, the delay in diagnosis could be explained because they had symptoms of another condition that masked the early signs of lung cancer. This can make it harder for doctors to ...

slow growing lung tumor :: Article Creator Lung Cancer Diagnoses Rising Among Young, Middle-age Women Although lung cancer incidence rates are declining, more young and middle-age women are being diagnosed at higher rates than men, CNN reported Nov. 25.  For several cancers, rates are rising among adults under 50. Gastrointestinal and colorectal cancer diagnoses are two of the fastest growing in this age group. Over the past four years, lung cancer diagnoses have increased 84% among U.S. Women and dropped 36% among men, research shows.  Lung cancer is also becoming more common in people who have never smoked. One study found that two-thirds of women diagnosed with lung cancer have never smoked. "I think that there are two ways or reasons that never-smokers get lung cancer," Helena Yu, MD, a thoracic medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, told CNN.  "I think that there are exposure issues...

bronchoalveolar carcinoma treatment :: Article Creator Research Reveals Common Types Of Rituximab-Induced Interstitial Lung Disease In Patients With Lymphoma Rituximab-induced interstitial lung disease in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma presents with distinct clinical characteristics and bronchoalveolar lavage results. Rituximab-induced interstitial lung disease (RILD) in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) presents most commonly as lung disease, organizing pneumonia, and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, and it is associated with 179 pathogenic microorganisms, according to a retrospective study in the Annals of Hematology.1 "These findings enhance the understanding of RILD in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and serve as a reference for best management guidelines in these patients," the authors wrote. Researchers performed chest high-resolution CT to evaluate the extent, distribution, and radiologic patterns of inter...

types of primary lung cancer :: Article Creator Tiragolumab Plus Tecentriq Misses Survival Endpoint For Lung Cancer Subset The primary endpoint of overall survival was missed in the SKYSCRAPER-01 study assessing tiragolumab plus Tecentriq in some patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Genentech announced that a clinical trial of tiragolumab plus Tecentriq did not meet its primary endpoint of overall survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The primary endpoint of overall survival was not met in the phase 3 SKYSCRAPER-01 study comparing tiragolumab plus Tecentriq (atezolizumab) with Tecentriq alone to treat PD-L1-high, locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. The announcement was made in a press release from Genentech, the manufacturer of tiragolumab. Tiragolumab, according to the release, is an immune checkpoint inhibitor that selectively binds to TIGIT, a novel inhibitory immune checkpoint that may ...

lung cancer radiation therapy success rate :: Article Creator American Lung Association Uncovers Stark Differences In Lung Cancer Survival, Screening And Treatment Across States A new report from the American Lung Association reveals both progress and persistent challenges in the fight against lung cancer, which remains the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. The "State of Lung Cancer" report, released Tuesday, shows a significant 26% improvement in survival rates over the past five years. However, the current five-year survival rate stands at just 28%, highlighting the continued severity of the disease. Early detection remains crucial, with patients diagnosed in early stages seeing their survival chances soar to 64%. Unfortunately, more than 4 in 10 cases aren't caught until late stages, when survival rates drop to 9%. Despite this stark contrast, only 16% of eligible Americans underwent lung cancer screening in 2...
