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.
eNose Promises to Sniff Out Lung Cancer Subtypes
Electronic nose (eNose) technology, which uses several cross-reactive sensors that analyze a complete mixture of volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath, may be useful for identifying patients with advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are most likely to respond or not respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors, study results in the Annals of Oncology suggest.…
AI Tool Discerns Lung Cancer Outcomes From Imaging Reports
Deep natural language processing may be able to estimate the presence of active cancer, cancer worsening or progression, and cancer improvement or response from radiologic reports.
Improvement Needed in Doctor-Patient Lung Cancer Screening Discussions
Among individuals across the spectrum of lung cancer risk, efforts are needed to improve physician-patient discussion about lung cancer screening.
Informational Film Improves Knowledge on Lung Cancer Screening
An informational film can improve knowledge and reduce decisional conflict for individuals considering participating in lung cancer screening.
A Trained Dog Smells Early-Stage Lung Cancer With a High Degree of Accuracy
Humans are used to seeing canines used as tools in forensics — their skills are often harnessed to smell out drugs or trail a criminal. Some dogs are even used to locate household pests. The use of canines to detect lung cancer from smell alone, however, is a new prospect for oncologists and their patients.
Preventative Medications Unnecessarily Prescribed to EOL Patients With Lung Cancer
