University of Queensland researchers who mapped cancer cell "neighborhoods" in the most common type of lung cancer have found cell metabolism plays a critical role in determining how lung cancer ...

Background The association between lower adult lung function and increased cardiovascular comorbidity has not been adequately explained. We investigated whether shared developmental signalling ...

A life-support machine that temporarily replaces the heart and lungs — known as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) — boosts survival among pregnant women who develop severe pulmonary arterial ...

Humans can’t live without lungs. And yet for 48 hours, in a surgical suite at Northwestern University, a 33-year-old man lived with an empty cavity in his chest where his lungs used to be. He was kept ...

New advanced tools to study cell development Pinello, Vinyard, Getz and their colleagues wanted to apply recent advances in the field of machine learning to the study of cell development. They ...

SCLC diagnosis involves imaging, biopsies, and lab tests to assess tumor spread and guide treatment decisions. Treatment options vary by stage, with surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy ...

Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung is linked to smoking and requires early detection and accurate staging for effective treatment. Diagnosis involves imaging and biopsy, with the TNM system used to ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells taken from only one person. These chips simulate breathing motions and lung ...

According to the National Center for Health and Statistics, under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), roughly 30% of both adults and children have allergy symptoms. Therefore, over ...

Patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who undergo concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) followed by consolidation immunotherapy show heterogeneous survival outcomes. Accurate ...

This fact sheet describes how small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is staged, and how each stage is treated. To determine the stage of SCLC, doctors need to take a small sample (biopsy) of the tumor. 2,3 ...
