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...

DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.29903Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer in the United States, and 80% of lung cancer deaths are linked to one risk factor: smoking. While lung cancer screenings are a critical part of prevention and treatment...
By Dr. Liji Thomas, MDReviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM Lung cancer is the most common deadly cancer, with 1.6 million cases arising every year. Diversity of many kinds affects the incidence, course, and outcome of lung cancer. Morphologically, lung cancers are of four different types – squamous cell, small cell, large cell, and adenocarcinomas. Image...
