one lung :: Article Creator Who Gets Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer? Lung cancer is the one of the most common types of cancer doctors diagnose each year in the U.S. The most common kind of lung cancer is non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It makes up around 84% of all lung cancer diagnoses. It's much more common than small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). About 1 in 5 of all cancer deaths in the U.S. Are lung cancer deaths. The overall 5-year survival rate (the percentage of people still living after 5 years with the disease) is 27%. The overall 5-year survival rate for NSCLC is slightly higher, at 28%. Doctors talk about 5-year survival rates to help give you an idea of how you may fare with your disease. But many different factors can affect your specific disease course. If your NSCLC is localized NSCLC, meaning it hasn't spread outside your lung, your overall 5-year survival rate is 65%. If it's regional, meaning it has spread to ne...

colon polyps symptoms :: Article Creator What To Know If Polyps Were Found During Your Colonoscopy If polyps were found and removed during your colonoscopy, you might be worried about what that means for your colorectal cancer risk. Most colorectal cancers start as polyps, which are small growths that form on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. Polyps can be found and removed during routine colonoscopies to check for colorectal cancer. This is why getting screened regularly is so important. Some people will never develop colon or rectal polyps. Others may have one or a few polyps, and some people may have many. "Polyps are actually more common than people think. Studies show about 15-40% of all adults have polyps," said Suneel Kamath, MD, an American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) expert and gastrointestinal oncologist at the Cleveland Clinic.  There are different types of colon and rectal polyps. Most polyps are benign (non-...

But your grandmother is a reader. She contacted me in October, wanting me to write something, and after patiently waiting for ... Gee ... Six months, told me the story about how your birth saved her life and how you inspire her every day. Which struck me as the sort of story a little girl should hear — how she saved a life, just by showing up. Because if you can do that, without even trying, imagine what else you may do someday. Your grandmother, Maida Mangiameli, lives — thanks to you — in Hawthorn Woods. When your mom, Kate, was pregnant with you, she...
