COVID-19 Vaccination and Imaging Misinterpretation: An Interview With Lacey McIntosh, DO, MPH
Oncologists and patients should be aware of the potential manifestations of the COVID-19 vaccination on imaging and the consequences this might have on disease assessment, treatment monitoring, and decision-making.
Common Cardiovascular Drugs Associated With Reduced Lung Cancer Mortality
Aspirin, metformin, and statins were independently associated with decreased lung cancer mortality, according to a population-based study.
Respiratory, Lung Cancer Death Up Even With Low-Intensity Smoking
Current low-intensity smokers have an increased risk for respiratory and lung cancer mortality.
Lung Cancer in the Time of COVID-19: Challenges and Solutions
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients with lung cancer face an increased risk of disease progression, reduced survival, and worse quality of life associated with delayed treatment.
Lung Cancer Trials Supported by the Pharmaceutical Industry More Likely to Report Strong Evidence, Be Open Access
A study of clinical trials found no evidence of bias in the reporting of clinical trials supported by pharmaceutical companies compared with studies that had other funding sources.
USPSTF Advises Annual Low-Dose CT Lung Screening for High-Risk Individuals
The USPSTF recommends annual low-dose computed tomography screening for people aged 50 to 80 years at high lung cancer risk due to smoking history.
Racial Disparities Seen in PET/CT Imaging for Lung Cancer
Black and Hispanic patients are less likely to undergo guideline-recommended imaging at diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer.
Cardiorespiratory Fitness May Improve Lung Cancer Outcomes
Higher cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with a lower risk for lung cancer incidence in former smokers and a reduced risk for cancer mortality in current smokers diagnosed with lung cancer.
High Fiber, Yogurt Intake Linked to Reduced Risk for Lung Cancer
Dietary fiber and yogurt consumption are associated with a reduced risk for lung cancer, according to a pooled analysis published in JAMA Oncology.
