Bronchoscopic techniques for early detection of lung cancer are a promising tool as they might allow to visualize changes of early lung cancer and also permit sampling for histological confirmation. It is important to detect bronchial carcinoma in situ (CIS) since over 40%of these can develop into invasive cancer. <br />For more details, <br />Visit: http://bit.ly/2qg4W7t <br />Email: info@pathsos.net

Thoracic oncologist Dr. Jyoti Patel explains the basics of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common type of lung cancer in the United States. In this patient education video, she discusses what NSCLC is, an explanation of staging and main treatment options, and information about advancements in research.

When you’re first diagnosed, you’ll naturally be looking at the lung cancer survival rate statistics which are undeniably daunting and bleak. Just 19% of those diagnosed at stage 4 survive more than 12 months. But now more than ever, those living with lung cancer are living better, longer lives thanks to the power of research and advancements in treatment.

It’s true that life expectancy statistics don’t paint a pretty picture, and it’s so normal to feel anxious, worried, concerned, and fearful about the future. But advances in science and research mean we’re seeing new and emerging treatments, together with greater research, and those living with lung cancer are able to participate in an increasing number of clinical trials.

Lung Foundation Australia is here to help you lead the best life you can by connecting you and your loved ones to support and care, linking you to life-saving clinical trials and supporting active participation in lung health research. Connect with us today to find out more or to access support: https://lungfoundation.com.au/....lung-cancer-search-r

University researchers are developing a blood test that can accurately predict whether lung cancer survivors will see a relapse.

This animation explains how healthy lungs function and how non-small cell lung cancer can occur. Non-small cell lung cancer is one of two major types of lung cancer and it is the most common type of lung cancer in the US. This animation will help you understand what causes this type of cancer and what are its common risk factors. While cigarette smoking is the most significant risk factor, there are other risk factors and this disease can occur in those who have never smoked. If you have been diagnosed with this type of cancer, this animation will help you know the kinds of questions you should ask when you meet with you doctor, including the goals of treatment and their possible benefits and also possible side effects.

Patients living with lung cancer share their stories as well as the reasons why they chose to receive care at NYU Langone's Perlmutter Cancer Center.

MEDICAL ANIMATION TRANSCRIPT: You or someone you care about may have been diagnosed with lung cancer. This video will help you understand more about lung cancer and how it affects your body. Your lungs are a pair of organs inside your chest that allow you to breathe. You inhale oxygen, which all cells need. Then you exhale a waste gas called carbon dioxide. This gas exchange happens inside tiny air sacs in your lungs. Lung cancer is a disease in which normal lung cells change into harmful abnormal cells called cancer cells. Cancer cells multiply to form clusters called tumors. These tumors grow and destroy healthy lung tissue. Lung cancer may spread to other parts of your body through blood or lymph fluid-- a natural substance that helps gather unwanted waste material from your body. There are two main types of lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. They are named for the kinds of cells in the cancer, and how they look under a microscope. Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer is the most aggressive type of lung cancer. It grows and spreads more quickly. The most important risk factor for lung cancer is smoking. Other risk factors include breathing secondhand smoke, exposure to radon, having a family history of lung cancer, HIV infection, exposure to harmful chemicals, such as asbestos, and air pollution. Lung cancer may have no symptoms in its early stages. When symptoms do appear, they may include chronic cough, chest pain, trouble breathing, coughing up blood, ****seness, loss of appe****e, trouble swallowing, weight loss, tiredness, and facial or neck swelling. If you have lung cancer, your doctor will need to determine the stage or progression of the disease to help plan your treatment. Non-small cell lung cancer has many stages. In the occult stage, cancer cells are found only in lung fluids. In Stage 0, abnormal or cancer cells are found in the lining of the airways. By Stage 1, a small tumor is found. Then in Stage 2, the cancer has grown or spread to nearby lymph nodes or non-lung tissues. In Stage 3A, the tumor has grown to any size. In addition, cancer is found in lymph nodes on the same side of the chest or in nearby organs. Stage 3B is similar to 3A. But in 3B, cancer is found in lymph nodes on the opposite side of the chest. Cancer may also be found in lymph nodes above the collarbone. In Stage 4, tumors might be found in both lungs. Additionally, cancer may have spread to distant organs. There are fewer stages for small cell lung cancer. In its limited stage, cancer is found in one side of the chest only. In the extensive stage, cancer has spread to the other side of the chest or to distant organs. As you deal with a diagnosis of lung cancer, continue to talk to your doctor and your cancer care team.

This animation is from our new program http://www.YouandLungCancer.com and explains how healthy lungs function and how lung cancer can occur. Non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer are the two major types of lung cancer. Physicians use noninvasive tests and invasive tests to diagnose lung cancer. Noninvasive tests include Chest x-rays, and CT scans and PET scans. Invasive tests include Bronchoscopy; Endobronchial ultrasound; Thoracentesis; Biomarker testing; and Biopsies, such as Fine needle aspiration (or FNA), Core needle biopsy, and surgical lung biopsy. Physicians need lung cancer staging information to plan treatment. Lung cancer is classified into numerous stages - the higher the stage the more advanced the spread of the cancer and typically the more aggressive the treatment. In Stage 0 cancer it is only the top layers of cells in the lining of air passages in the lungs. This is the easiest stage to treat with highest survivorship. Stage IV lung cancer is the most difficult to treat, having spread to the other lung, the lymph nodes outside the lungs, and other parts of the body.
