by Eindhoven University of Technology Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public DomainCurrently, when lung cancer is suspected, a “morsel” of tissue is removed and examined under the microscope. This may change in the future. During her Ph.D. research, Sylvia Roovers-Genet examined proteins in the blood of people with, without, and with possible lung cancer, and thereby developed a method...
Christina Szalinski Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer in the world, largely because so many patients are diagnosed late. Screening more patients could help, yet screening rates remain critically low. In the United States, only about 6% of eligible people get screened , according to the American Lung Association. Contrast that with screening rates for...
